Madison South​のベストビストロ

One of the best meals of my life and I’ve traveled pretty extensively across the globe. I was honestly blown away to find this restaurant in my backyard here in Portland. We came tonight on a recommendation of a friend and I kid you not, from the very first dish (salad) to the last (tiramisu), the hits did not stop hitting. Every single flavor tonight blew our minds and were perfectly laid out. We will come back again and again!

We really enjoyed the unique and tasty dishes here. We were blown away. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic. Incredible food served and presented properly. Casually elegant ambiance. Great value in terms of cost. Easily one of the top restaurants in the PNW. I cannot overstate this experience. PERFECT.

This is a teeny tiny restaurant (9 tables, 20 diners) that is wedged into a semi industrial district next to a tattoo parlor. Incredible how the chef can create so many masterpieces in a kitchen the size of a broom closet. John is the owner, and he seems to function as a one man Maistre d", server, busboy, sommelier, and probably janitor after the restaurant closes. Another amazing sleight of hand(s). There is a (very pricey) tasting menu available for $152 (before wine), that appears to have about 12 courses. The regular menu changes frequently. Basically, follow John's suggestions for everything. It's all fabulous. Downsides are that the tables are only inches apart, so don't come here for quiet, private conversations. Parking is a bit of a pain, but not a real obstacle to a great destination meal. Vive la France!!

Had to wait a bit to be served but the food was delicious and the atmosphere was wonderful. It was a little noisy due to a table of fairly loud women, but all in all, a delightful experience.
