As a resident of Gordon Lofts, you're not just part of this vibrant neighborhood; you're in a culinary epicenter. One of the perks of calling Gordon Lofts home is the proximity to the true foodie paradise that is the 5th Street Public Market. Step outside and you'll find yourself surrounded by a plethora of dining options, each offering a unique culinary journey. Below are a few suggestions to get you started on your tasteful trek.


Just past the front door


Marché

Marché, a jewel of the 5th Street Public Market restaurant scene, is 25 years old and celebrating in style. It beckons residents to indulge in exquisite French-inspired cuisine for both special occasions and for the everyday. Picture yourself savoring an intimate dinner in the warm, inviting ambiance or enjoying a leisurely brunch on the sunlit patio. From seasonal delights to timeless classics, Marché promises an unforgettable dining experience just steps away from your front door.


Gordon Tavern

and Carlita’s Rooftop 

Accessible by skybridge, The Gordon Hotel, features two stand-out restaurants: Gordon Tavern and Carlita’s Rooftop. Featuring classic American comfort food with a northwest flair, the Gordon Tavern has a lively, open floorplan on the main floor of the hotel. Carlita’s, located on the rooftop, specializes in tacos, tequila and whiskey. 


J. Scott Cellars & Bistro

While other tasting rooms may offer cheese plates and perhaps a smattering of olives, the family behind J. Scott Cellars pushes the boundaries to feed more than mere hunger - they strive to nourish the soul. Their menu is constantly changing with the seasons, so each visit is a new adventure. Plus, being here in the 5th Street Public Market, it’s easy to pop in anytime to indulge in wine tasting and bites without planning an entire day around it.


Jazzy Ladies

Known for their biscuits and gravy, eggs benedict, waffles and more, this highly rated restaurant features an all gluten free menu - although you wouldn’t know it by taste. With food made from scratch daily, it’s no wonder they receive rave reviews on the regular. Although made famous through their breakfast dishes, their seasonal entrees, amazing cocktails and live music only add to the fanbase. 


Sushi Station

Sushi Station has been serving authentic Japanese cuisine since 1997. The husband and wife team can be found nightly, preparing delectable treats including sushi, ramen and bento boxes. This truly remarkable restaurant also offers a variety of vegetarian and gluten-free options, making it a great fit for groups, takeaway or a romantic dinner out.


Exploring Beyond 5th Street

While the 5th Street Public Market offers something for every palate, the downtown Eugene dining scene does actually extend beyond those boundaries. As a resident of Gordon Lofts, you have a wealth of options waiting to be discovered.

For those seeking a more laid-back atmosphere with a focus on locally-sourced ingredients, Cornucopia Bar & Burgers is a short stroll away. This cozy eatery is perfect for unwinding after a busy day, offering a menu that celebrates the flavors of the Pacific Northwest through quality pub fare.


Black Wolf Supper Club
 

If your palate craves something adventurous, look no further than Black Wolf Supper Club. This colorful and eclectic restaurant features their twist on southern Cajun and creole cuisine. Of course, it’s not all about the food. They serve inspired drinks as well, including hurricanes and daiquiri slushies.
