Chef Gabriel Rucker's little East Burnside room is Portland's most celebrated restaurant, inventive, bombastic tasting-menu cooking that earned him national fame and helped define the city's food scene.
It's a tasting-menu house, so put yourself in the kitchen's hands and add a wine pairing. The famous foie gras and the ever-changing courses are the reason to come.
It's small and popular, so reserve well ahead and request counter seats for the full kitchen show. Cap the night at Rucker's Canard bar next door.
Nursing a single drink in that setting, still dressed from dinner, is the most elegant, low-cost end to a big Portland night.
