"PEARL DISTRICT - República, which served what it called "Mexico-forward," seasonal produce-driven tasting menus and a la carte dishes unlike any other in Portland, announced on Wednesday, January 28, that it would be closing its doors on Saturday, February 21. The tasting menu incorporated ingredients rarely seen in Portland like chicatanas, huitlacoche, and heirloom yellow beans, earning accolades from local publications, a James Beard Award semifinalist nod, and a write-up in the New York Times."
"Our decision to close this location is due to the high cost of refurbishing the space to meet today's needs. So, while this chapter is coming to a close, our commitment to Portland is not. We're actively looking for our next cafe home and look forward to welcoming you there when the time comes."

Bridgetown Bites reported on the closure and interviewed Marth, who cited rising food costs, energy costs, and the overall economic climate as contributors to the closure."
