"In a low-lit, intimate space off Willamette Street, Bar Purlieu’s chefs serve elegant plates of high-end meats and seafood paired with local, seasonal produce. French classics like duck confit and escargot meet with more Pacific Northwest ingredients like PK Pastures-raised chicken. The extensive wine list leans French and flights are available, while the bar also pours a short list of absinthe and pastis. Those looking for a splurgy meal can order the stellar $75 chef’s tasting menu, a bargain considering the quality." - Brenna Houck, Eater Staff
