"This Northeast 28th European restaurant’s weekend brunch has been a staple in Portland for years, and it is just as good as ever. Sure, visits may involve standards like Benedicts and omelets — however, the Benedicts will come with things like cod cakes or collard rabe, and the omelets will arrive filled with seasonal vegetables like fava greens. Dishes rotate frequently; seafood here is often a treat, be it mussels and clams steamed in saffron-scented white wine or a simple cut of fresh halibut with aioli. Seating is available in the intimate, bustling dining room or on the patio. Brunch runs from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden, Jenni Moore
