Sesame Collective creates connection through curated hospitality.
 
Locally owned and operated in Portland, Oregon, our restaurant group offers Mediterranean-inspired fare with a distinctive Pacific Northwest twist. Each of our five locations has its own personality, providing a unique dining experience.

 

Oh, and we also have a burger concept that's sizzling its way through the Portland metro area—because sometimes, a great burger is all you need!
By bringing people together over a shared love of food, beverage, and service, we strive to foster unity and create meaningful connections. At Sesame Collective, we believe that through the simple act of sharing a meal, we can make the world a better place.
