2 french bistro places in Portland we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Portland | French Bistro across every city.
French bistro cooking in Portland is concentrated in a tight, ambitious cluster rather than spread thin, with one kitchen family setting much of the tone. East Burnside and the Kerns area hold the center of it. Le Pigeon set the template for the city's contemporary bistro style, and its sibling Canard nearby works the wine-and-snacks register of the same idea.
