Cecilia

Best Restaurants and Bars in Vancouver, Washington | Eater Portland

"Amaro’s Table and Gustav’s owner Genaro Amaro opened this lovely brunch spot in honor of his grandmother Cecilia. Cecilia feels like a passion project compared to Amaro’s other businesses, with its elegant chandeliers and decadent daytime fare. Sweet things like the made-to-order Dutch babies and tres leches French toast are juxtaposed with savory shrimp and grits and chilaquiles. Cocktails include individual mimosas as well as a carafe of fresh-pressed orange juice and a bottle of Poema Cava called the Party. As the sun goes down, the lights are lowered and the space transitions to dinner service with updated classics like spinach artichoke dip, and filet Oscar. Elegant cocktails, mocktails, and sumptuous desserts such as abuelita’s doughnuts and a light, tangy passion fruit pot de creme round out the menu." - Rachel Pinsky
