"While Portland's restaurant scene continues to grapple with very real challenges- Higgins sounding the alarm about flagging sales, tariffs hammering already thin profit margins-it also can't help but dazzle diners. We keep winning James Beard awards, the New York Times seems awfully obsessed with us, and new restaurants keep coming. This next suite of arrivals includes pop-ups converting to brick-and-mortars, a Beaverton-Portland exchange, and even two new Thai restaurants, because we can't get enough of them."
"With the expansion comes Coquelico, an intentional misspelling of Coquelicot, a color named for a red-orange kind of poppy. Coquelico is a collaboration between the Art Museum and Providore Fine Foods, a specialty grocer, butcher, pasta maker, and wine shop on NE Sandy Boulevard. Operating as the museum's bistro café, visitors can snag coffee drinks, breakfast, and French-inspired items like tartines, Lyonnaise salad, pavlovas, and toast with ricotta and caramelized honey."
Portland's restaurant scene faces significant headwinds, including flagging sales and tariffs that compress already thin profit margins, even as it continues to garner accolades like James Beard awards and sustained national attention. New openings include pop-ups turning into brick-and-mortar locations, a Beaverton–Portland exchange, and additional Thai restaurants. The Portland Art Museum will add about 100,000 square feet, including publicly accessible areas without museum admission. The museum's bistro, Coquelico, created with Providore Fine Foods, will serve coffee, breakfast, and French-inspired items such as tartines, Lyonnaise salad, pavlovas, and ricotta toast. The bistro opens mid-September; the revamped museum debuts in November.
