"Hosting the post-screening party at its new location, Vivienne Culinary Books will offer guests a welcome drink, small plates and 15 percent off new books, with additional wine and sake available to purchase by the glass." - Janey Wong
"Best known as Portland’s premier cookbook store, the inviting Vivienne also offers cooking classes, new and consigned kitchenware, and a not-so-secret “secret bar” with natural wines by the glass or bottle and rotating savory and sweet food dishes, often pulled directly from the pages of the bounty of inspiring cookbooks on the shelves. Vivienne makes its home in the same building as the Hollywood Theatre and is a perfect pre-movie stop for weekend or early evening show." - Nathan Williams
"A Portland cookbook specialist — noted for being run by owner Robin Wheelright — hosting a celebratory event with the local Eater editor and the book author that features a food menu inspired by the cookbook’s recipes, wine, and other festive programming for cookbook fans." - Eater Staff
"At Vivienne Kitchen & Pantry I scope out cookbooks from Oregonian chefs and authors, finding titles that specialize in everything from dumplings to campout cooking and serving as a resource for home cooks." - Janey Wong
"Robin Wheelright traded dining tables for books and turned her restaurant into Portland’s new culinary bookstore as a pandemic pivot. Nestled inside the Hollywood Theatre building, the bookstore offers a curated selection of new and old cookbooks, kitchenware, book signings, and cookbook-themed cooking classes. In the kitchen, Wheelright serves up sweet and savory fare gleaned from the cookbooks on the shelves. Keep an eye on Instagram, for when she offers slices of the Russian Honey Cake from the 20th Century Cafe Cookbook." - April Choi
