Grimm Ep303 "A Dish Best Served Cold" Portland filming locations

Grimm Episode 303 "A Dish Best Served Cold"

"A centuries-long feud brings an unpleasant pop of crime to Portland."
Aired: Nov. 8, 9/8C

Doctor's Office

After the turmoil of the last few weeks, Nick visits a doctor for a treadmill stress test. Nick has obviously been hitting the trails in Portland, as his heart rate and BP are not affected by increasing pace.

Raven & Rose

Monrosalee dine at Raven & Rose, share a touching moment and are offered a "petite beef and truffle tartlet" courtesy of the chef. Rosalee later discovers this is the Black Despair Mushroom, poisonous to Blutbad.


(I have seen angry pan-throwing chefs in Portland but not quite like this Wesen.)

There was a big buzz during filming... This was one of the most photographed couple of days of filming that I've observed. Here are a few user-generated shots from Aug 13:

Grimm Ep302 "PTZD" Portland filming locations

Grimm Ep 302: PTZD

"While the gang tries to stop Zombie Nick's ruthless rampage and Renard exacts his revenge on Eric, Adalind works to restore her Hexenbiest powers."
Aired: Nov 1, 2013 - 9/8C


Zombie Nick is on the loose in farm country near Troutdale. The gang chases after him with a brief stop at Tippy's by the Captain and ladies; meanwhile Nick's buddies Monroe and Hank track him down at the farmhouse.

The farmhouse is hypothetically located at 642 Birmingham Rd. (There is one location in Vancouver, though not this farmhouse.) Did any of you run across this site during filming?

Barn fighting ensues, the gang subdues Nick and absconds to the Spice Shop.

Familiar locales:



Police Parking Garage:

Back to the yellow and white Montgomery Park parking garage, as in earlier seasons. It was first seen in Ep 13.

This is a brief post this week. I'm certain we will see much more of Portland in the coming weeks.

Grimm Season 3 Premiere

Welcome back Grimm!


Grimm Season 3 premiered on Friday with "The Ungrateful Dead". The series picked up where they left us dangling last season with lots of zombies in the container yard. Just another night here in Portland!

Chasing, fighting zombies.


Hank is back on two feet again. Did Juliette tell Hank on the phone: "I'm with Monrosalee..."?


Nick (now a zombie too) was kidnapped by the baron who tried to fly him to Europe.

The gang's all here at our beloved PDX.

Frau Pech lost her heart...hands...feet...and eyeballs to the charming Adalind and the gypsies. Gore. Magical poppy fields.

Claire Coffee mentioned that the poppy field scenes were filmed on a disc golf course in the area. Perhaps Dabney Disc Golf Course near Troutdale?

Plane crash.

Nick escaped the wreckage and headed to Tippy's Canoe in Troutdale to cause a ruckus.

The Grimm Gang gassed the zombies inside a container with one of Rosalee's antidotes, turning them back into regular people.

Outside of Tippy's scene & PDX, there was not a lot in the location department, but there promises to be much more coming soon!

Nick is still a zombie on the loose, and with hypersensitive hearing powers.

South Waterfront Construction - Fall 2013

The Emery:
The newest residential building in the South Waterfront, The Emery apartments, is preparing to open soon. Originally slated for August, it is now set for October.  We also learned recently that Lovejoy Bakers will be opening a new location in The Emery. Great news for the neighborhood!



OHSU Collaborative Sciences building is taking shape:

Some great photos were recently posted at Reportland Oregon: http://reportlandoregon.wordpress.com/tag/ohsu-collaborative-life-science-building/

And in related news, as it affects the research that will take place here, Phil and Penny Knight announced another huge donation, this one at $500M...if OHSU can match it.


Portland Milwaukie Light Rail:
We have just more 2 years to wait for the opening of the Portland-Milwaukie light rail bridge. You can continue to track the progress on Trimet's site.

Portlandia in the South Waterfront

Welcome back, Fred and Carrie!

Portlandia filmed in the area a few weeks back, with scenes shot around the Matisse and in the park.



Yesterday the crew returned, for a very full day of filming. They shot scenes at the Atwater, in the park at our favorite fountain, and in the corridor between the John Ross and the Mirabella.
