The Best Restaurants in Eugene, Oregon | Eater Portland

"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 escargot meet with more Pacific Northwest ingredients like a grilled Carlton Farms pork chop. 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. Those looking for a more budget-friendly experience with the same great ambiance would be wise to check out the happy hour from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday (or the reverse from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m.) where many of the appetizers are substantially discounted and select cocktails are $8. Purlieu also recently added brunch from 10 a.m. to 2:30 on Saturdays. with Reservations are accepted on Tock and takeout is also available." - Brenna Houck
