To start, I have to say, we don't want to tell a lot of folks about this place, here we go,We have had the absolute pleasure of dining at Coqine and have gifted a meal before at Portland's best restaurant, but tonight we, without a non needed reservation checked out The Coquine Market next door, a condensed menu with choices of wine by the glass or bottle,cocktails etc, I had a half farm raised Chicken,Roasted to perfection, crispy and juicy is not a tall tale here, tremendous, the juices ( not over salted) natural baked into the home cut, perfectly cooked fries, My wife had a seasonal pasta that melted in your mouth, the best bread, look, if you want to eat maybe more familiar menu than next door in a whim, check this cozy gem, it's as Portland as you can get.

Love coming to this spot for a nice coffee and light lunch or late breakfast. The shelves are packed with quality products, imported and made in house.

Coquine is so good! We came for my birthday (and to spend a gift card) and we went all out! Each dish was packed with flavor, I gotta shout out the cucumber salad and man that fluke crudo with the watermelon aguachile I still dream about that one. Staff here are so sweet and chill and they even gave us homemade caramel for my birthday! Will definitely be coming back!

I live two blocks away. People have raved about this restraunt to me time and time again. What can I say other than underwhelmed. We went with friends service was good but the earliest reservation was 8pm despite booking far in advance. Starts were decent with corn soup good local bread, a Chickpea fritter, and a nectarine salad. Honestly nothing here that was exceptional. Then came entrees which were all over the board consistency, flavors and execution. The Mussels were very good, gnocchi was delicious but 2 entrée of oso bucco really failed to deliver. Flavor was flat and the braised meat was dry despite falling off the bone. We shared a desert which also just didn't deliver. The ray of sunshine was the Som and really good wine. $100 chicken aka Coquine is not somwhere I will return.

We just had the take away lunch and it's A plus. Fantastic, fresh bread, and perfectly cooked veggies and meat in the sandwiches. Gazpacho from peach and tomato was a flavor combo I didn't know I need in my life. And the cookie is probably one of the best in town--with just the caveat that we'd love a non-smoked almond combo for our vegetarian friends and anyone not 100% loving a bacon-like hint in their cookie. We definitely can't wait to try dinner here!

I used to live in Portland and missed coming here. On my recent visit I had to make a reservation. I had the most wonderful meal with the best wine pairing. Love, love this place!!!

Head chef personable, took care of our needs. Michelin star needed here. Staff was on point. Hopefully they get nominated for one!
Overpriced and unfriendly atmosphere. Went to Tabor bread down the street and it was excellent service, food, coffee and seating in comparison.

Listen, this place has great food—thanks to their chef—but at the same time it’s absolutely ridiculous for said chef to yell out every order in a 20-seat restaurant. It’s unnecessary, jarring, and totally kills the vibe. At times I swear I saw the wait staff cringe. They know. And they are the saving grace.

Breakfasted in the cafe three mornings out of three on a recent visit to Portland. Desperately want to come back and try the restaurant!

I ordered a chai latte, it was gross. The chai burned the back of my throat and it was not enjoyable at all. The person behind the counter was weird and impatient. I got the vibe that my sister and I meant nothing to the employees. Also, $5.50 for a 12oz chai is overpriced, along with everything else in that store. ($2 for an apple??)
An elevated experience at every turn
