What We Know About the Ritz-Carlton Portland’s Enchanted Forest of a Lobby Bar - Eater Portland
"Meadowrue, located in the Ritz-Carlton in downtown Portland, is a venue inspired by folk tales and enchanted forests. It serves chinook salmon rillettes and Old Fashioneds under a vertical ceiling garden with twinkling lights. The interior features dark greens and sapphire blues with dark timber accents. Meadowrue opens for morning coffee and breakfast, transitioning to cocktail bar service in the evening. The coffee is an exclusive blend by Coava, and breakfast items include Oregon-based products like Rogue Creamery cheese and Oregon blueberries. The evening menu features simpler dishes with Oregonian ingredients, such as house salmon rillette using smoked Chinook from Josephson’s Smokehouse and Olympia Provisions charcuterie. The cocktail menu includes unique drinks like a margarita with a private Meadowrue barrel of Codigo 1530 Rosa Tequila and an Aviation riff with brioche-infused sherry. Nonalcoholic drinks are also available, with options like You Made Me Blush. Meadowrue is part of the Portland Ritz-Carlton, which will open in the Block 216 building." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
