Cute and comfortable. Will definitely be back.
One of THE best restaurants in Portland. Food, service, vibes. It’s all here.
Love this spot! I’ve been several times for dinner and I’m excited to go for brunch :)

Bar Nouveau is a gem in St. Johns. The ambience is French but casual, like a bistro, and the service is homey and inviting. The staff, manager, and chef/owner are friendly and care about guests. The menu offers many tasty dishes. Savoy cabbage is smoky, sweet, and savory. Fried olives, deviled eggs, stuffed squash, and puff pastry with seasonal squash and mushrooms with a gravy of decadence are all highlighted. The food is elegant and comforting, like a mom or grandma’s cooking, with ingredients responsibly sourced locally. Happy hour runs all night on Monday and Sunday. Reservations are recommended, as people often wait. The restaurant is reasonably priced and a must‑visit for anyone looking for good food and community spirit.
