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!“

“You can tell this chef is very passionate about cooking. Each dish is plated so beautifully. The menu is seasonal with high end local produce from the farmers market. The staff is very warm. The interior is very nice, with very nice furniture(eg marble or quartz tables, I believe). It’s not inherently the chefs fault, but at this price point, the food is not what we really crave? Also, we were kind of feeling hungry with such a carb light menu. We just split one medium meat dish, so we do eat less protein than average? But I feel like it’s not enough food for vegetarians fyi. They did GRACIOUSLY make us some handmade tortillas off the menu and essentially didn’t charge us. Plus, we received complementary dessert wine tasting, since we complained about wanting some bread or tortillas. One bummer about this was that no one followed up about our request until we asked three different servers. Overall, I think this could be a great place. But just not for us at the moment.“

“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.“

“Amazing Dinner at Plumb @ Deadshot!

We had the pleasure of dining at Plumb inside of Deadshot one evening about a month ago with friends visiting from out of town, and it was a truly memorable experience. The highlight of the meal for me was the pork chop--perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. The appetizers were fresh and absolutely delicious, a great start to the meal. We ordered three and they were more than plenty for all five of us to get our food journey started. The selection of alcoholic beverages was awesome, and each drink complemented the dishes perfectly. The atmosphere was cozy yet inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed but special evening. Our waiter was attentive, answered all of our questions knowledgeably with enthusiasm and timely. We'll definitely be back!“

“Best date night go to. All I can say is you have to go! The pictures speak for themselves.“

“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!“

“Delicious food! Fabulous specials. Best cod dish I’ve ever tasted.“

“Every dish was perfect. I was blown away by everything we ordered, as well as the casual, romantic atmosphere. I can't wait to go back. I was selfishly hesitant to post this review, because it truly is a hidden gem that felt like my own special find.“

“What a fantastic place! Does everyone know about this hidden gem and I'm just the last to know? Great service...super friendly and attentive without being too much. Great ambiance, even for a Sunday brunch.(I can't wait to go for dinner!) Great selection of delicious cocktails and brunch options were plentiful with both sweet and savory options. Hard to pick which to go with but opted for the Pork Belly Adobo-Don. Pricing was as expected yet reasonable. Can't wait to go back! They have something very special going on here.“

“Phenomenal. The food was amazing! We had escargot which wasn’t stuffed with cheese and mushrooms so you actually get to truly enjoy the escargot. The duck breast is was absolutely delicious. We had the special of sea bass wrapped in a pastry dough, and that was just incredible. The portions are generous. The cocktails were delicious. The staff was so friendly. We absolutely loved it here!“

“A gem! Excellent service, excellent food! Stayed at the Dossier Hotel and came across this really awesome spot at the hotel. I can definitely recommend the fried gnocchi, lemmon pound cake, blistered green beans and the chicken sandwich. Has an amazing dining experience thanks to Amanda and James who provided excellent service to make the meal even more enjoyable.“

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

“Excellent food and drinks!“

“Loved the brunch selection for gluten free options. Amazing polenta! Breakfast cocktails were on point. Service was wonderful and the atmosphere is like being in a French cafe.“

“Alpenrausch is a charming gem, perfect for a cozy evening. Their fondue is simply exquisite—rich, creamy, and indulgent, served with the tastiest accompaniments. It's a must-try for anyone seeking an authentic Alpine dining experience.“

“Didn't have any food, but the drinks were amazing. Boasting an excellent selection of high end alcohol of all kinds, Angel Face can provide what you want. The bartender knew their stuff and had no trouble whipping up artistic drink one after another. We had a pretty large party and showed up unannounced but they handled us with no problems. Highly recommended!“

“French food is not normally the top on my list of dining choices, but I am really glad that I took a chance on this place. The food was excellent and cute whole in the wall very French atmosphere really rounded it all off. There is limited seating and a bit tight being a small bistro of sorts, but once you get settled in and relaxed, you forget forgive the close quarters by the very French décor and feeling once you start looking around at everything. Service was friendly there, but a bit awkward at no fault to the server since she was still relatively new there and apologized for it immediately. She was sincere and did her best throughout our dining experience. Ordered the open faced sandwich which was a shrimp smorbord and it was just amazing. So beautifully prepared with such care and presentation. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. Also got the mussels, which were meaty and perfectly cooked in a light herb broth. This will be a must on my return to visit list when ever in Portland next and do recommend that you give it a try if so inclined. Bon Appétit!“

“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.“

“What a surprising portal into the magical world of vineyards, great wine, and genuine people. Unassuming and authentic. We were looking for a light meal and glass of wine when we stopped in and found a cozy wine bar - just the ticket! Food was excellent. Wines were top notch. Owners and staff were friendly and knowledgeable.“

“Great customer service delicious food“

“Our group had a lovely brunch on Sunday. The service was great-informative and attentive. We all had various egg dishes. Mine was the chorizo hash. Mildly spicy with perfect eggs and potatoes. Excellent assortment of tea. Definitely a place to return to“

“Wonderful coffee to accompany a tempting array of decadently delicious pastries. The atmosphere is unhurried and decidedly French.“
