"Portland French restaurant L’Orange serves easy elegance without treading toward stuffy, which makes it the ideal stop for a special night out. While the menu rotates to reflect the seasons, look out for dishes like a chicken liver mousse tartlet, Parisian gnocchi, and slow-braised pork jowl. End the night with a cheese plate, a scoop of ice cream, or the classic L’Orange cake with cardamom icing. The grandma-chic dining room only enhances the experience, especially in colder months." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden, Katrina Yentch, Rebecca Roland
