French Restaurants in Portland, OR

“It was delicious!!! Rabbit, foie gras, pigs feet, escargot, halibut, eel, scallops, all the fancy sauces….SOOO good!! Every bite was just perfectly executed. The staff was so friendly and engaging which made it really fun to sit at the chef’s counter!“

“We enjoyed a fun dinner at Lilia Comedor! We appreciated how spices were infused into the innovative Mexican dishes. We chose the Chef’s Dinner which gave us an appreciation for the chef’s creativeness. Loved every bite. Pacing of the meal was just right. The staff were super friendly and also enthusiastic about the restaurant’s cuisine. Would highly recommend if you desire an innovative, colorful, and flavorful dining experience.“

“I make it a point to visit Canard Burnside on all of my trips to Portland! The unique flavors and presentations on their menu keep me coming back for more. Had the roasted beets last night for the first time and the flavor was out of this world.“

“In a city full of great restaurants, L'Echelle has made it into our regular rotation. It checks all the boxes: nice atmosphere that's elevated but not stuffy; pleasant and competent service; a reasonable price-point for the quality of food; and a few dishes on the menu that are so good that we order them every single time. $15 for a plate of fries initially raised my eyebrows for sure, but these are no ordinary fries, my friend. They are fries from heaven and I get them every, single time. The panisse is also really special and not a dish that one comes across very often. I do wish they had a burger only because if they did I just know it would be amazing. And those frites beg to be accompanied by an amazing burger.“

“Street disco has a cool vibe from the minute you walk in! The music, the welcome and the atmosphere were on point!
Our server had such a fun vibrant personality and was extremely knowledgeable! The plates are small so encouraged to share and recommended to order 10-12 plates for the five of us. My favorite plates were the snap pea salad and the carrots with lots of flavor and fun flavor profiles! Our table was extremely satisfied with all of our choices.
My only complaint was the literal two bites of Octopus, if I had realized that I would have ordered something different. The pork belly and meatballs were more of a satisfying portion
My only complaint was“

“Althea and her staff make dining at Bar Nouveau a joy. We went for brunch which was fantastic. The fromage biscuit sandwich was SO good. And the Bloody Mary just spicy enough. I feel the value is great too. 5 people for brunch, including drinks and a tip, the tab was $244.“

“My wife and I come here for special occasions and last night we celebrated her birthday! As always, the service was excellent, food was impeccable, atmosphere was cozy, and a very enjoyable experience. It is a small place which only adds to the intimacy of service and atmosphere. The owner is a great guy who is very knowledgeable in all his dishes and wines which were incredible as well! We love C'est Si Bon and will continue to come here everytime we want to celebrate something at a special place!“

“Great vibes to share a drink and have a conversation.“

“I had a memorable dinner at Higgins Restaurant. I ordered their Oregon Mushroom Set Menu, and each dish reflected their respect for local ingredients. The wild mushroom bisque was particularly delicious, with a smooth texture and rich aroma. The waiter was very professional and attentive, explaining the background of each dish. The elegant yet relaxed atmosphere was perfect for a leisurely meal with friends or family.“

“From the moment we stepped inside and until we were making reservations for the next time, we were treated to some of the most exquisite food, wine, and hospitality in Portland. Creative, fresh, and lovingly prepared, each course had us proclaiming that THIS was the best bite—until the next one came. This place felt like a French dinner party in a country home in the Loire valley. Incroyable“

“Send me a must if you’re visiting Portland. Astounding“

“The food was wonderful and the service was great. Love that they had many options for me that were gluten free! I highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!“

“Excellent food and drinks!“

“The Bistro Alder is the restaurant inside the Dosier Hotel and it serves delicious food and drinks. We only dined here and did not stay at the hotel. The restaurant was empty when we arrived around 9pm and were promptly greeted by a wonderful hostess who took our drink and meal orders right away since we already knew we wanted the Portland Restaurant Month meals. The food came out quickly as we were the only ones there initially. As time went on a couple small groups of 2-3 arrived and even then the hostess managed to hold down the fort to include waiting, serving, bar tending, and bussing. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves and would certainly come back to enjoy a meal or a couple of drinks.“

“Great experience! Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and the food was delicious. The pacing was perfect; we never felt rushed or that we were waiting too long. The cocktails were amazing, too. Unfortunately we were too full at the end of the main course to have dessert. I highly recommend and we will be returning“

“What a delightful breakfast! The food, the service, and the ambience each exceeded my expectations. I will come back again.“

“The food is always delicious. The staff are always nice and friendly. It’s our favorite restaurant. We’ve been a customer for over 30 years now. My family loves Cafe du Berry and staff.“

“I stopped by this wine tasting room while visiting from out of town and honestly, I didn’t want to leave. The space is so warm and inviting. It immediately felt like the kind of spot I’d be a regular at if I lived nearby. Cozy, charming, and perfect for a laid-back evening or a quiet date night.

The wine selection was fabulous. I tried a few different pours and loved what I tried. And the food was absolutely delicious without trying too hard.

What really made the experience special was the staff. They were so kind and attentive. Friendly in a genuine way, not just polite. It felt like they really wanted me to enjoy myself, and I did.

I truly wish I lived closer. This would be my go-to spot. Until next time!“
