Le Pigeon - 738 East Burnside

The chef Gabriel Rucker ( formerly of Paleys Place %26amp; Gotham Building Tavern)and his sous chef Erik Vankley get a very good review..

A ';Bold menu';, lots of meats and a tartlet of baked Brie with garlic confit and for a dessert , apricot bacon cornbread with maple ice cream and warm bacon bits. And of course, other more down to earth goodies.

Siam Society - 2703 NE Alberta St . siamsociety.com

A Thai restaurant in a historic building, stylish space.. The chef, Adrienne Inskeep, who is from Brazil with a Thai mother-in-law.

Chiang Mai sausages, wrapped in cabbage leaves with fresh ginger and rost peanuts..scallops and roast duck, they say the desserts are ';outrageously good';....gotta go there!

and everyones favorite .....

Alberta Street Oyster Bar - 2926 NE Alberta St . albertaoyster.com

Oysters, French 75 cocktails, local wines, Dungeness crab...sigh.

Hope this helps with deciding on Where To Eat when you visit Portland or where just where to go if you don%26#39;t feel like cooking :)

Too bad none of these work for our lunch on Monday. Oh well, more places to try later!

Thanks for posting...Le Pigeon looks really good!

Considering the forecast for Monday, Silk in the Pearl is a good place for lunch, steaming hot bowls of Pho :)

Yes, definitely a good idea!
