Bistro Montage
301 SE Morrison
Portland, OR
It's a pretty
weird place. The later you go, the weirder it gets - and it's open until 2:30 AM. Seating is at long tables; there's no space at all between
groups. Which is a good thing - the people near you are likely to be
interesting. There's a huge
cubist Last Supper on one wall; it's worth the trip just to see it.
The food is cajun. The price is
moderate, unless you get the
Old Mac or similar - then it's cheap. It's more expensive than I can afford every day, but I go whenever I get invited. I enjoy the
jambalaya and the
mud pie, but it's all good. If you have leftovers, the waiter wraps your food up in aluminum foil, and sculpts it into cute
animal shapes.
MoJoe recommends the coffee; I haven't tried it, but I will next time I go.
