The Best French Restaurants in Portland, Oregon - Eater Portland

"Navarre is a step away from strictly French-focused fare, relying on a general European influence through a range of rotating small and large plates with Old World wines in a dimly-lit, date-worthy atmosphere. If diners aren’t wedged together inside and clinking glasses among tableside candles and shelves of wine bottles, they’re likely grazing on the patio, taking in the bustle of this busy 28th Street nook. Order dishes a la carte like rabbit compote, watermelon radish salads, and braised lamb by ”checkmarking” your items on a paper menu, which helps servers navigate the crazier weekend evenings." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden, Katrina Yentch
