Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Joel Stocks

From the OpenTable editors: One of the New York Times's 50 favorite restaurants of 2024, L'Orange charms with its refined, Pacific Northwest-influenced Mediterranean small plates and superbly curated wine in a homey, cozy atmosphere. The combo quickly captivated local critics and diners, who show up in droves for dishes like roasted garlic soup with grapes or poached and grilled cauliflower with curried granola. It all obviously pairs beautifully with owner Jeff Vejr's large, varied selection.


Philosophy

At L'Orange we hope to transport you back to a time when full service dining was the norm. We hope that you feel the warmth of our space, the ease of our hospitality, and the delicious layers of flavors that our food and wine provide.

    I loved my time at L’Orange. Exquisite food, kind servers (shoutout to Jeff), beautiful atmosphere. The duck confit is incredible. I’ve celebrated two birthdays here and will continue to make this a tradition.

    Cool vibes with excellent food, wine and service! We had a delicious French onion soup, the beautifully presented cheese rosette , the pork, and the amazing orange cake with Earl Grey ice cream. All were excellent. The superb service was attentive and informative, directing us to lovely wines to pair with our meal. We tried an orange wine for the first time and loved it, as well as a very nice sparkling wine, Sauvignon Blanc and a Barbera. It’s a gem in the PDX dining scene.

    L'Orange attends to what they do in a warm, consistent, exquisite manner. I appreciate that I have the opportunity and the resources to dine there. I worked over 30 years in the restaurant world and I never feel my old restaurant self coming online reflexively trying to address issues in the restaurant. And that says nothing about or to the food that never stop pleasing.

    The food is always a delightful adventure, and the menu offers plenty of playful options to explore. The bar is a charming spot to sit back, enjoy the cheese machine in action, and indulge in some prime people-watching. Each table, tucked in its own cozy nook, seems perfectly suited for either solo musings or lively conversations. The wine pairings are thoughtfully curated, and for me, it’s the kind of place where discovering new flavors feels like a joyful treasure hunt.

    Five of us ate at L'Orange and sat at the counter. It was a lot of fun to chat with the server and try different wines before ordering a glass. We sampled most of the food offerings by choosing plates to share. It was all delicious!

    Recently, when we are at a couple of great yet casual restaurants in Laguna Beach, CA and Montreal, we saw how there was a number of people who were obviously regulars and we remarked at how nice it would be to have a place like that in Portland. L'Orange is now that place for us. Cozy, unpretentious and completely reasonable, it is that place where you instantly feel comfortable and at ease. There isn't that fussiness and haute haughtiness that have come to define other high dining experiences here in Portland. The food is superb with their inventive takes on French cuisine that throws you for a loop, yet still entreats you with fond remembrances of the melody it riffs off of. The chicken liver tart bears a special mention; it was nothing I would have imagined it to be but certainly everything sublime in the way it tasted. The service was equally as outstanding, discreet yet friendly, the staff navigating the cozy quarters deftly and attentive to the guests' needs. L'Orange deserves every accolade it gets and we are happy to now count this as a place we want to come back to again and again.
