Reviews
The meal and the lovely attention to balancing flavors and presentation will live on in my memory. We had brioche and baby lettuces as a start and were immediately delighted. Two of us had the scallops and were overjoyed. Two of us had gnocchi and were enraptured. All of us ate off of each others’ plates. We were too full for dessert but had it anyway - don’t sleep on the miso black cherry ice cream or the bread pudding. Between us, we four ordered most cocktails offered and they were all lovely and somehow both simple and fancy. And after all this one more incredible praise: the meal will live on in my memory and part of what lodges it there was the incredible, detailed, kind service. Six out of five stars for service! We loved, loved, loved celebrating our special occasion there and may need to make our way back even though we don’t live in in Portland.
Genuinely one of the best dining experiences of my life. The burger was probably the best I’ve ever had, and the lobster roll was easily top 2. Don’t sleep on the carrots either, those were excellent (we ate them too quickly to get a photo). The prawns were perfectly poached, and melted in your mouth. I wish I lived in Portland so I could eat here regularly. Highly recommend.
Delicious food in this popular French restaurant. The Duck Confit Toast (Fromage D'affinois, Huckleberry Jam, Arugula, Pickled Shallots, Pink Peppercorn, Nasturium) was deliciousness on a baguette. Highly recommended. And it goes very well with the Sunriver Rippin Pale Ale if you feel like having beer instead of wine. One more thing, the main entry door is truly heavy, so push hard. Bon appétit!
The food was excellent. Get a reservation it can get busy. Also good desserts. They don’t take themselves too seriously they have Ranier and pony miller bottles too. I appreciate that.
Good food, average experience. For the price, the service and experience could be much better and more memorable. Waitress was dressed in normal street clothes. Didn’t feel very sanitary or professional. Wine list is lacking, all very similar selections. Good food portions, fresh and good flavor.
Absolutely a must try. Atmosphere is amazing. Would be a great spot for business dinners, friends dinner, or date night. Also a large cute patio.
Their cocktail menu was inventive and delightful. Their French fries were impecable with shoe string type fries that were the perfect crispy amount and a dill dipping sauce. Seared albacore was amazing, spicy sweet with a pineapple jalapeño topper. And the stone fruit tomato salad was a salad I wouldn’t have thought to put together but worked so good. We did finish dinner with the gnocchi and I would say that was the weakest dish out of the line up. Then did the dessert cheese which was yummy. Decadent but not sweet.
Staff was helpful and nice. Overall great experience
Wow...I have no other words. From the amazing aperitif cocktail that was such a unique combo of multiple flavors to the phenomenal dishes we tasted...the service and tastes of NORMANDIE are like no other. I was partial to the amazing octopus, while my husband quickly convinced me that the mix of the flavors of the spare ribs were like nothing we’d ever tasted before but were 100% on point. Not to detract from the amazing galette and gnocchi... we were blown away and can’t wait for our travels to bring us back to try all of the other items on the menu. Thanks for the incredible tastes and experience! Can’t wait to come back!
Excellent meal and experience at Normandie! Super quick and attentive service during a busy Friday evening! We arrived absolutely starving after a long travel day to Portland, and quickly found ourselves lucky to secure probably the last reso of the night at 9pm.
Our table of 4 ate pretty much the entire menu including but not limited to oysters, charred asparagus, octopus, gnocchi, 2 burgers, radicchio salad, 3 rounds of the octopus (loool it’s insane good!!!!) and the fish large plate. Don’t judge us - we were crazy hungry, and portions were still very reasonable. Everything was phenomenal.
The only downside of our entire meal? The side of fries was just a bit (a lot) lack lustre compared to everything else.
In total we were in and out in an hour and a half, which is nuts considering the quality of the food and how busy it was when we arrived. Huge kudos to the whole team and will absolute recommend return when visiting again down the line.
