Lion and Owl

About

You might not expect a brunch spot to come with a full-size vintage Airstream bar cart, but Lion and Owl in Eugene is no ordinary cafe. This locally owned restaurant started as a tiny operation in an Airstream trailer before becoming a full-service spot in 2017. Their menu draws inspiration from international cuisines while focusing on Pacific Northwest ingredients. They serve brunch seven days a week and dinner Tuesday through Saturday, plus host monthly themed dinners (March's is entirely plant based). The vibe is trendy but comfortable, with a full bar and happy hour that make it popular for both daytime and evening hangs.

Reservations are accepted, which helps on busy weekends. Their specialties include a robust sparkling wine list and creative cocktails from the Airstream cart. It's worth noting that some sources suggest this venue may be permanently closed, so check current status before heading out. Given its Yelp rating of 4.4 from 420 reviews, it clearly made an impression while open. If you're in the neighborhood, you could also check out nearby Sabai Cafe & Bar for another local option.
