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.

Truly a delightful dining experience. Our servers were knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. The dishes were as impeccable and stunning as they were delicious. There is love in this food; I will need to experience Maurice again soon. ❤️💙❤️

Lovely place, lovely people & service, and great food. Loved the steak tartare and egg salad sandwich.

Superb in every, single way imaginable. The team, the ambience, everything is confident, beautiful, creative and efficient. Perfect execution. A diamond in the rough in Portland. I would place this alongside Le Pigeon & Coquine as “must visits” dining destinations in Portland.

Food: the food tastes pretty good, but the portion sizes were small for the price. $7 for five thin slices of baguette, $26 for one slice of smorbord, $23 for a small slice of quiche and $28 for a dozen-ish mussels. We definitely left hungry.
Service: very very very slow. Definitely not a place to go if you’re looking to eat in a reasonable time. We arrived at 11AM and were seated quickly. After taking our order, it took 30min to get bread, then 30min to get the smorbrod, then another 20min to get steamed mussels and quiche.
Overall just an okay experience. Not a come backer for us.

Another WOW for food in Portland! I’m convinced food on the west coast is better than the NYC food scene! Yikes! But so true! Better ingredients, amazing service and love the minimalistic and detail oriented decor. Maurice’s was off the charts - amazing food, perfect portions and excellent wine pairing options. Had an amazing lunch!!! Would come here again AND recommend to friends. You can’t go wrong!

“A refuge, a moment out of time.” Where you slow down, and enjoy each dish made to order. The quiche here was a different animal - so soft the filling almost oozed out of the flaky crust. And the razor clams were divine! It was so full of umami and reminded me of the Chinese mitten crab. I already long to be back for the clams (and everything else). Plus great dessert.
