The Jupiter Hotel confirmed the Doug Fir’s departure in a press release, indicating that the venue will transition away from the food and beverage aspect of the business and lean into focusing on. It's a simple, yet ingenious take on the classic dish. According to public documents, Doug Fir will move its music venue to 301 SE Morrison Street, also known as the former home of Le Bistro Montage. Montage claims their macs are world famous, and I agree.
LE BISTRO MONTAGE PORTLAND MAC
I believe the overall experience would have been better had the Spold Mac been served piping hot. If I were the chef, I'd dice the jalapenos up and sprinkle it on top of the Parmesan. That didn't stop me from eating it, but I would think it could make a few people hesitant to do so. I was a bit puzzled about the small jalapeno wedge. Only sheer willpower prevented me from taking a second order of Spold Mac home with me. We have been so honored to serve Portland for the past 27 years. From their website, It is with a heavy heart that we announce that we are permanently closing Le Bistro Montage. This along with a ton of rumors about other restaurants closing. The gravy coated the pasta just right for me. The shredded Parmesan gave the dish a welcoming gourmet look. After positive notes as recently as June 18th, Bistro Montage has reversed direction and decided to close. The gravy itself had a mild kick, and the macaroni was perfectly cooked. I thought it was the ideal gravy-to-macaroni ratio. A multitude of spices attacked my taste buds as I tore into the dish like a hungry Homer Simpson at the family dinner table. The cajun gravy was the star here and served as a darn good proxy for a cheese sauce. "Spold Mac".I like that one, has a nice ring to it. Instead, I'd call it another Southern twist on the classic dish in terms of appearance and flavor. Let's be clear at the start: this is NOT a mac 'n cheese dish, and was probably not meant to be that way. The kitchen and bar is open until 2am, which is great as youll be.' Cajun and Creole Restaurant in Portland, OR. A combination of the two sounds great to me!Ī great dish here. See 429 photos and 104 tips from 5227 visitors to Le Bistro Montage. Montage's Old Mac uses garlic, heavy cream, and Parmesan. The Spicy Mac includes cajun gravy, Parmesan cheese, tomatoes, and jalapeno. I asked what the most popular mac item was, and without hesitation, he said to get the Spold Mac with andouille sausage ($7.95): the perfect blend of "spicy" and "old" mac. I was pretty hungry and craving some comfort food for lunch. In sharp contrast to the white tablecloth-laden tables and lovely chairs behind me, I sat on a (slightly more sophisticated) bar stool with a beat-up counter that had to be a few decades old. I took a seat at the bar counter near the cash register. A young man greeted me and provided great service throughout. When I entered, I noticed the interior resembled a part fine-dining, part-bar atmosphere. I parked about a block away on a side street to get some lunch. Montage, in my opinion, is in a horrible location. Honestly, I did not know what to think of the area.
