Description

Grant Butler of The Oregonian described Fenouil as an "enormous", two-story French restaurant next to Jamison Square in northwest Portland's Pearl District.[1] Eater Portland's Erin DeJesus described the restaurant as a "French-meets-contemporary-Northwest spot".[2] The restaurant served Pacific Northwest cuisine, as of 2010.[3]

Fodor's said, "The large stone fireplace, expansive bar, bistro menu, and widely revered spring-onion soup are a few of the reasons patrons keep coming back to this warm and elegant two-story restaurant. Notable entrée choices vary by season, but two reliable crowd pleasers are the grilled Kobe sirloin and the wood-fired duck breast with Armagnac-soaked prunes. There's live music on Friday nights. At the end of each month the chef creates an all-inclusive "regional dinner" that explores foods from a unique culinary region."[4]

History

Fenouil operated form 2005 to 2011.[2][5][6] Pascal Chureau was the opening chef.[7]
