Looking for Late-Late night dining in South Beach!
We will be coming in to South Beach, late Thursday night, i.e. after 11:30pm. Is there any spots that will be open and serving that late?
Need help for Lunch, Brunch and Late Night Dining in Portland
Thanks for all the suggestions. Here is a run down of our food adventure over the weekend.
Friday:
Lunch- Olympic Provisions, outstanding, great small menu, loved the cured meats, the rueben was probably the best I have ever had! Service was stellar!
Dinner- Le Pigeon, what can I say, the food was amazing and the service over the top. We had a party of 8 and let Gabriel and his Som design a Food/Wine tasting menu for us. Each course was a great paring, probably one of the best overall meals I have had. If you are a foodie, I highly recommend this place!
Saturday:
Lunch- Andina, what a great meal, all the flavors and uniqueness of the menu. For sure not you typical fare! Our party just had dishes sent out from the kitchen and each was full of flavor and seasoned great. Def. would go back.
Dinner- Toro Bravo, kind of disappointing, food was lukewarm and underseasoned. To many fried items on the menu. Failed to deliver a little, probably just not their night.
Sunday:
Brunch- Bijou Cafe, good not great, dishes arrived not entirely hot. Service was good, though got in early and still waited for the food for a while.
Need help for Lunch, Brunch and Late Night Dining in Portland
We are coming to Portland next weekend and need a little help with some dining. We have Friday night covered with Le Pigeon, we need a lunch spot for Saturday, and then a late night dining spot, great food, cool vibe. We will be getting out of the Blazer game, so maybe something in that area. Then Sunday we need a brunch spot. Any and all ideas would be great!

Eleuthera

portland restaurant choices - help please!
As a foodie, you can say what you want about decor, ambience etc, Le pigeon stopped me in my tracks on the food. Could of been one of the overall best meals I have had. From the pork belly and Fried Green Tomato to the Fois/avacado Terrine to the pork Shoulder and peaches to the hamachi and shrimp and the Foie profiteroles. Everything was spot on, seasoning, cooking methods, consistency. The portions here are a little bigger so don't go crazy with ordering. We will be back for sure!!
