Just Amazing... Everything was flawless. There wasn't a single thing I could complain about. The quiche was the best I have ever had. The delicate touch put on everything is astounding. Pastry so light and flakey that it's a wonder the food holds its shape. My only regret is that I couldn't eat more. It was so good that I found myself wanting to push past the limits of satiation and straight into gluttony. Insatiable is the best word to describe it. Thanks Maurice for killing it.

Måurice is one of the best restaurants I've been to in Portland; it instantly became one of the most charming places I've had the pleasure of dining at!
The food is unique and delicious, with varying options to fulfill your needs. The mussels we had simmered in wine were the absolute BOMB! When I had that first bite, I felt inspired to go home and try a crack at making my own version. When food makes you excited to create, that is my highest measure of success at a restaurant, and Måurice achieved that splendidly.
Alongside their main dishes, they have pastries and baking goods to enjoying. I will absolutely come back with a cup of espresso from Courier coffee to enjoy a baked good here.
The design of the restaurant is a highlight as well. There is an efficient use of space that reminded me of many restaurants in NYC, giving it a cozy and relaxing charm. Our server was sweet and very helpful, she did a great job introducing us to the dishes available.
Overall, Måurice is a beautiful restaurant with tasty food. I left excited to create my own dishes from their plates, and looking forward to the next time I could dine here. I highly recommend!

Maurice is like a hug for your soul. It has a calming and relaxed atmosphere, the owner is kind and it is noticeable that she leads her staff with that same kindness. Time stops there. Food comes slowly, and it is always crafted with care, with only the best and most fresh ingredients. The wine is excellent too. Treat yourself to a delicious, unforgettable meal, and let Danny take care of the wine. You won’t be disappointed!

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!
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.
