Cute little place. No wait around 1pm. Very innovative dishes with unexpected flavors. Would not recommend a big group but perfect for 1-4.

Noisy, very very noisy, so forget about having a conversation with your guest. We didn’t appreciate it that while we are waiting for a booth for over 10 minutes, and as it was being clean for us, someone walked in, mentioned that he is a friend of somebody, and got the booth. After another 10 minutes we had to seat at the crowded bar. Bad customer service! The food was average (maybe it tasted bad because we were angry at being treated as second class guests?).

Long birthday lunch for a dear friend - every bite was a delight! Radish & chive finger sandwiches, prawns, sole in parchment, spanakopita, basque cheesecake to finish. The chef was in Germany and the chef’s taking over the kitchen for the week offered equal care and creativity in each dish. The seafood was simply exquisite - perfectly seasoned, cook times to the second, we ordered bread to sop up every single drop of the jus. Pricey so I don’t go often, but when I do I dream incessantly about my next visit. Truly one of Portland’s finest restaurants!

Really wanted to like this cute place with very interesting menu. Party of three arrived at 1:30 for lunch and we were seated right away. One person got her order after 15 minutes, and finished her dish before the second person got her order. The third person waited … server kindly provided one glass of wine due to the wait. We heard the server ask the chef (owner?) the status of the third dish and she had not even started it — two of us had already finished! So the third person received his meal long after the two others were already finished, and that was after all of us had waited a while. While waiting, we went ahead and ordered dessert assuming we would have to wait for that also. But, then, our waiter disappeared. Completely. Just left. And no one else bothered to check on us. After again sitting there a while, we flagged another server, cancelled our dessert order, and got our bill. $86 for lunch for 3 people. Small portions — not enough to satisfy our hunger. And none of us ordered any drinks other than tap water. The food itself was nice but this restaurant needs to sort its staffing and kitchen pacing issues. It is a tiny kitchen and may not be large enough for the number of patrons it seats. Meals are expensive and portions are small. Servers seem a bit clueless. I hope this cute restaurant can fix the problems.

A must have experience in Portland. This darling small refuge serves up some of the best oysters and French food I’ve had in a style best suited for sharing. Ben’s service was bar none, and he made excellent recommendations . We will return anytime we are in Portland.

Maurice is a Portland establishment and a must visit! I went for brunch to celebrate a girlfriend’s birthday. Food, atmosphere, wine, staff are all superb! While the weekend is lovely, this is also a perfect weekday lunch spot for two 😊 Merci team Maurice!

Chic, cute, and wonderful bistro serving delightful bites. Highly recommend.
This is a very cute place. The food is mostly good. The muscles flavor is great and very unique with the pine nuts. Cheesecake is delicious. The baguette and butter is ridiculously small and expensive. The pork salad has pork that is bland like a sheet of white paper, and the fried veggie part of the salad is inedible. This is the service is slow, but it doesn’t bother me too much because the place is nice and we can chill sitting outside
Incredibly charming space that also delivers on food, drink and friendly service. Truly enjoyed the seasonal chilled tomato soup and pan roasted flounder with chanterelles (fish du jour). And do not skip the elegant & tasty desserts!

Great lunch spot with cool atmosphere and focused menu. Interesting dishes, small plates. Service can be a little slow because they are packed.

This is one of my couple favorite spots in all of Portland. It’s really special… like a great new spot you’d find in an outer Parisian neighborhood. It is tiny and convivial, adorable and delicious. I’d say just don’t come if you’re in a rush; the overall pace and vibe of the meal is clearly intended to be more European (although they do have some fresh great baked goods that can be picked up to go). And the prices—while not cheap—reflect the top-notch quality of everything. But… if you want to be transported to another place, I really don’t think there’s anywhere in Portland quite like Maurice for that.

Our server was very nice. But… Small portions and expensive for what it was (eg $26 for 4 shrimp on a slide of bread), some of the dishes we ordered were nice but small, the pork loin was dry and had a few uninspired blueberries

I liked the quiche. What I didn’t like was the slow kitchen and the nonsensical order that the plates came out.
