Food Service at the Oregon Zoo

Cascade Grill Restaurant
Where can you look out over alpine rocks and hear the sounds of exotic animals while you eat a nice meal? The Oregon Zoo's Cascade Grill! The spacious dining room it seats 190 has a high, open-beam ceiling arching over cozy wooden booths. Both carpet and metalwork chandeliers are commissioned art pieces, reflecting the Great Northwest. When the sun is out, the large outdoor deck is the place to be, or, for a more intimate party, reserve the private dining room with a view of the train and lower exhibits.

Menu
Cascade Grill offers a wide variety of menu options. Whatever your appetite, large or small, you will find something to please your palate.

The "Cascade Grill" is open daily, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. A Cascade Plaza food facility (Grill or Kiosk) will be open until 5 p.m. During summer, 9 AM to 4 PM with the coffee kiosk open until 7 PM.

Banquet Center
From the restaurant's lobby, a grand stairway sweeps down to the private reception area and banquet room. Perfect for banquets, parties or meetings, the high-ceilinged banquet room seats 450 or can be divided with acoustical partitions. It is wired to serve your audio-visual needs, as is the reception area, which can also accommodate live bands for receptions or weddings.
