"This Southeast Portland Haitian restaurant may be one of the city’s most famous, thanks to the celebrity of its owner, Top Chef regular and James Beard Award winner Gregory Gourdet; the restaurant has racked up accolades since its opening in 2022. All of that being said, Kann earned its place among Portland restaurant royalty: Meals start with lightly cured kampachi with smoked coconut milk and Haitian specialties like griyo, followed by show-stopping wood-fired proteins like herb marinated king salmon with stewed peppers or bone-in ribeyes coated in coffee rub. The whole restaurant is gluten-free — and dairy-free, because why not? Getting a reservation can be a blood sport; set an alarm for the first of the month at 12 p.m. Pacific and start refreshing Resy." - Sararosa Davies, Eater Staff
