Le Bistro Montage

One of Portland's most famous restaurants, Le Bistro Montage is a large, loud, busy restaurant featuring Cajun food and a wide selection of macaroni & cheese, most notably their famous creamy and spicy Spold Mac. Pastas, gumbo, jambalaya, and various dishes featuring andouille sausage, alligator, and/or crawfish are available. For dessert, the bourbon-soaked bread pudding is excellent. Large drink menu with cocktails and wine; beer selection is limited.

The restaurant is quite spacious and can always accomodate very large parties at their long tables (you will be sitting next to strangers), though the wait can be long on Friday and Saturday nights. Reservations are not accepted; be prepared to wait on the sidewalk on crowded nights. Service can be somewhat slow when the restaurant is busy, but your water glass will be constantly and enthusiastically refilled.

Open late: weekday lunch 11:30am-2pm, dinner Su-Th 6pm-2am, Fri-Sat 6pm-4am.
