    Such exceptional service. I have reviewed Måurice several times before. It is an experience that is truly wonderful. I wanted to shoutout the amazing service staff. I wish I could remember the gentleman's name who took such good care of us. Service is somewhat of a lost art. Not at Måurice. Our server paired each of our 3 courses with a half glass of wine that complemented the food perfectly. Each course was incredible starting with scallops in the shell, to a blue fin tar tar and ending with a cheese course. Just incredible each and every time.

    Meyer lemon pudding cake
    Benjamin S.

    I dined here a long time ago (pre pandemic) and found it to be quaint with elegant dishes that's very French, meaning well done dishes but very minimal and small portions. I recently decided to check it out again and overall it was a pleasant lunch dining on a nice day eating at a sidewalk table. Felt very French. I had the roast duck with plums and their signature dessert of Meyer lemon pudding cake. The quality of the food was high, but I held back a star because of the high prices, which has always been the case and still is. The duck breast was nicely prepared, but the $28 plate came with just the sliced duck breast and maybe three slices of plum. For the price, I thought it would come with maybe a small side salad of frisee. The pudding cake had great lemon flavor but the cake itself was cold so you know it was in the refrigerator, and then the pudding sauce around it was warm. So it was a mix of feeling of whether it was supposed to be cold dessert or warm dessert. Still, this is a recognized institution in Portland's culinary scene, just expect to pay a pretty penny for your meal.

    My second visit - I have been dreaming of this experience for months and it did not disappoint! The interior exudes casual elegance. The team is professional, very friendly, and knowledgeable about pairings (more on that in a sec). The green salad was simple, yet so flavorful. Perfect dressing/greens ratio. The dark bread with baby shrimp salad topped with a kohlrabi carpaccio was delightful. A little French rose complemented it beautifully. Being a rhubarb fan, I could not resist the dessert. Pain Perdue with rhubarb and celery glacé. The ice cream was an inspired choice by the chef - clean palate cleanser. And the suggestion of the Sauternes by the wait team to accompany it? Utterly fantastic. Seek this place out. Actually, GO to Portland to have lunch here. It's that good. I'll be back.

    This is an excellent little restaurant. I had the duck egg quiche. It was light and very flavorful. I had a cup of tea with some honey. Very cute little restaurant. The owner works very hard. All the staff are wonderful friendly. I asked the owner if she knew Dominique Crenn. She owns a restaurant in San Francisco. https://www.ateliercrenn.com/ She's a three star Michelin chef. I highly recommend Maurice this restaurant it's quaint it's lovely. I think I was the only man there aside from the waiter and the dishwasher. Go check this restaurant out!!

    Scallops
    Ploy N.

    It's been awhile since I've been blown away by a spot in PDX and Maurice is the most recent one! Contrary to their small door, the inside is open with clean colors and layout. You get transported away from the bustling downtown area to a serene dining space filled with delicious smell of freshly made French dishes and pastries. There are a handful of booth and bar seatings so do come early if you want to snag a prime spot. We got seated and professionally introduced to their complex but inviting menu which is seasonal and changes regularly. After much debate, in the end, we got the Snails, Scallops, and their Duck Special for our meal, as well as a bottle of Cotes Du Jura that they sell for retail but you can have it at the table with a little corkage fee. Let me tell you that that wine was soso worth it. It's bright and light, perfect as a day wine and paired amazingly with all of our dishes. The Snails dish came with many decently sized snails from the East Coast. Each cooked perfectly and covered in delicious buttery herby sauce with a side of fresh herbs around the plate to cut the fattiness. I love individually plugging each of the snails out, such a unique experience. The snails themselves were also very unique. Nothing quite like it, gotta try them out yourself to find out. The Scallops dish was also simple but full of novel flavors. The scallops were very fresh and cooked to the right doneness. The broth and vegetables on the plate created very unique flavors and complemented the scallops amazingly. Their Duck Special was our favorite dish of the meal, by far. Again, simple yet complex with distinctive flavor profile at the same time. The duck was succulent but not overly heavy. The kumquat added the perfect amount of sweetness while the persimmons and greens reinforce the savoriness of the dish. It's just so darn tasty! I would go back for this again and again. Of course, we got desserts. There were a few to choose from but we went with the Chocolate Cone Cake and the Pepper Cheesecake. Both were delicious. The chocolate cake was soft and very moist while the cheesecake was light but uber creamy with a buttery base. Delightful. Needless to say, we fell in love with the food here. The menu was intimidating at first because of its unfamiliarity but that also made it so fun to just jump in and try stuffs. The chefs striked the perfectly balance of simple, showcasing the fresh ingredients, and complex combinations of flavors in all of their dishes. Service and ambience were also 10/10. Definitely a spendier meal but we will certainly be back to try more!

    Oh, mon dieu! I've found my soulmate restaurant. With a perfect blend of Scandinavian and French cuisine, the team at Maurice have something special for Portlanders to enjoy. Their limited hours, seating, and menu enhance this enticing environment, too. Overall, I am very impressed. From the moment you approach the space from the streetscape, you'll be curious of what hides behind the glazed windows that blur the experience. The quaint entry door is so cute, and anyone stepping into the interior immediately feels calm. Entering the restaurant reminded me of cold, foggy days along the northern European coastlines. Reservations are highly recommended since minimal or no seating will be available for walk-ins. Thankfully, we were lucky and seated at the bar where a great experience occurred. The team is very friendly, and will always be chatting with you. Our server was iconic, and I truly enjoyed our laughs, jokes, and conversations. I enjoyed learning about the history and intentions behind the concept, especially after learning Maurice has been established for ten years! We ordered several menu selections, and, I enjoyed the pâté the most. Desserts were lovely, and I almost ordered one of the special champagne glasses of the day. I wish I could have stayed longer, but, I wanted to ensure other people were able to dine here. I will be back! Maurice, you are AWESOME.

    Cute aesthetic French spot! Lots of options for tea! Everything is nice enough to share but I thought the food was just okay for the price point. I definitely feel this place is an instagramable spot! The service was a bit slow however once we let our waitress know our friend had to be out a certain time they brought out the food faster but we didn't plan on being there for over 2 hours. Also 20% gratuity is already added

    Chicken pate
    Angelique H.

    As someone who is not traditionally drawn to French cuisine, I was delighted by this little hole in the wall. It's easy to pass by this location with its fogged glass exterior but you are brought into a beautiful, bright little spot once you enter the door. My friend and I shared the rosemary biscuit (so ridiculously good!) then separately enjoyed their quiche (so light and fluffy!!!) in addition to their fish and dumpling soup. My friend also enjoyed their chicken pate greatly. Our server was quiet and unobtrusive, similar to wait staff you might find in a small cafe in France. Her coworker was less delicate in the small space and tended to run into my chair almost every time he passed by, which was a bummer as I was tucked in as close as I could be. Overall, if you are looking for a light, bright experience with French cuisine, this is your spot.

    Such a lovely menu and quaint environment ! Let's start with the environment. There were only a few tables which created a more intimate setting. Perfect for a date or going out with girlfriends. All the small decorative touches gave delicate hints of a French cottage, even down to the gorgeous silverware. Having Megan share the story of select silverware and decor pieces added to the overall experience too! Now the food! Oh my gosh - it's been so long since I've had such exquisite flavors! Everything was paired so perfectly and the flavours were all so distinct and bright! Each being brought out differently when paired with the wine or tea list too. The attention to detail for all the pairings was lovely ! I do think it's worth noting that the portions were "small" by today's standards BUT they were perfect for the environment and experience. Definitely take time to note the delicate flavours in each bite. In the end we were very full so it was definitely plenty of food despite the smaller portion sizes. I hope my photos upload because I really don't think my words can do the overall food/environment/full experience the justice it deserves. We'll definitely be returning next time we're in the area.

    The food is great. Not many choices but each one is very good. I like the ipa to start with. It is from the local small brewery. The oyster is great with interesting sauce. The main entree is interesting combining both French and Thai cuisine. The service and atmospheres are great! Nice bistro! The price is very reasonable. Worth to come back

    Broder Söder was the perfect place to start our adventure before heading in the woods to visit Ole…read moreBolle. We had our little dog with us so I was happy to see they had a dog friendly patio. It was a warm day and the staff immediately brought her out a bowl of water, which was a thoughtful gesture and shows the level of service they offer to their patrons. Our server, I believe her name was Casey, was lovely. She was friendly and seemed to know a lot of the regulars by name which gave the restaurant a welcoming feel. I ordered the Danish pancakes (Æbleskiver), and they were absolutely delicious. They came with house-made lemon curd and lingonberry jam, and both were incredible. The lemon curd was rich and creamy with just the right amount of tartness, while the lingonberry jam added a sweet-tart flavor that paired perfectly with the fluffy pancakes. Four of them were more than enough to fill me up. My husband ordered the Pytt i Panna, a traditional Swedish hash made with crispy potatoes, bell peppers, and onions, topped with two soft-baked eggs and served with pickled beets and Nordic rye toast. It was hearty, comforting, and full of flavor. The pickled beets were a nice contrast to the savory hash, and everything on the plate was scrumptious! Between the delicious food, welcoming service, and dog-friendly patio, we had a very nice time and it was a good send-off before our walk through the woods to find Ole Bolle. I'd happily come back the next time I'm in the area.

    A fantastic place to start the day. We came early for the Old Bolle Troll (can visit anytime during…read moredaylight hours) and then came back Broder Soder for brunch at 8AM (Saturday) - no wait upon opening despite having a group of 6. We started with the cardamom latte (rich and nutty) and the matcha marzipan (sweet and with enough aromatic almond flavor) and then proceeded to feast. We started with the Danish pancake donuts- lovely in that they were both savory and sweet, comes with lemon curd and jam. The lefse breakfast was really interesting - a layered thicker 'crepe' with cheese and egg. The fish plate was our family favorite - an epic collection of shrimp, mini shrimps, gravlax, pickled herring (our favorite) various breads, crackers and sauces. Very well presented, fun to eat, and enough to share. We also ordered the Swedish meatballs - rich hearty but small and few (5 total). Luckily, we had plenty of other food and this dish was great with sherry mushroom sauce and a delicious potato latke-like side. Our server was also incredibly personable, friendly, and helpful in our food choices which we always appreciate.

Fast forward 30 minutes the same server came out and told us we could sit at the same table he had made us leave. Do not come here if you have small children or the patience of a saint.

Food came out at the same time, and based on the food temperature it seems some of it had been waiting for the rest to be finished. Perhaps they felt the long wait time was necessary to make the food more appetizing, but despite the long wait and almost desperate state of hunger, the food tasted disappointingly mediocre. Nothing was outrageously bad or good, but rather bland. The sole exceptions being a rather surprisingly spicy horseradish sauce and tasty...jam. Tl:Dr if you enjoy waiting around 1.5-2 hrs for bland food and bad service then this place is it for you!

The sad thing is that the molded sawdust is sheathed with veneer, thin sheets of wood peeled from often old growth trees or endangered tropical hardwoods. Often that tree that took a hundred years or more to grow, is being used to make a piece of furniture with a life of 3-5 years. Don't let us get started into veneer poaching http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/california/Redwood-Park-Closes-Road-to-Deter-Burl-Poachers-248659171.html. Or hardwoods fueling war lords. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/liberia-ex-forestry-boss-arrested-corruption. That's just sick. The Good Mod is going against that grain. Their specialty is mid-century modern from the Scandinavian invasion. Those Vikings and their furniture! They refinish or reupholster the pieces as necessary and the price reflects that. If you have ever priced having a piece of furniture shot with a couple coats of lacquer by a professional, who also, by the way, is being paid to properly handle lacquer, which is very toxic, you know. But those prices are comparable to the new price in its time. And you are getting a piece of furniture you can pass down generations. In fact, some of it may become design auction material in the future. They were good on my visit with cadenzas, occasional chairs, classic Knoll chairs, a few sofas, lighting. They also gather up some industrial artifacts and repurpose them, if that fits your aesthetics. One of their newest spec pieces is a walnut ping pong table, which could also be used as a dining table. This item would fit well into the tech startup world. If you are an art director or set decorator they would be a good resource. The Good Mod has moved around and as of this writing are up a creaky elevator or quite a few stairs on the fourth floor. But that gives them a new big cheap space. And note to new arrivers decorating your Pearl condos - if you can rock this style, you can patronize a great Portland reuse business. You can even fib a little and claim your hip grandparents/parents/you bought it new! The Good Mod cleans up and restores furniture from the mid-century modernist age. Reduce, reuse, recycle! Be cool, stay cool, keep cool! (Thanks to Mr Oscar Brown Jr)
