The Hottest New Restaurants in Bend, Oregon, Winter 2024

"The team at Domaine Serene describes its new menu as “wine-inspired cuisine.” It is indeed inspired, as Bos Taurus’s George Morris has teamed up with innovative executive chef Adrian Carpenter to turn the historic building into one of the best restaurants in Bend. Splurge on Royal Ossetra caviar that plays charcoaled creme fraiche against zingy pickled mustard seeds. Morris and Carpenter get creative with dishes like steamed foie gras wontons, which play smoked shoyu and chile oil against the creamy liver. Or try Morris’ Bos Taurus meat brilliance in the short rib bourguignon on creamy polenta, with a crisp noodles stacked atop the meat." - Barb Gonzalez
