About
If you're after a chef-driven, fine-dining experience with a cultural twist, kann is a standout. This upscale Haitian restaurant by Top Chef alum Gregory Gourdet earned 'Best New Restaurant' at the 2023 James Beard Awards. It's LGBTQ+ and BIPOC-owned, with a lively atmosphere and a focus on live-fire cooking. The menu blends Caribbean flavors with Pacific Northwest bounty, featuring seafood and soul food.
The space is sleek and modern, and you'll need a reservation — they take them. Hours are limited: Wednesday through Sunday, 4pm to 8pm. It's in downtown Portland, so plan ahead. A full bar is available, and the vibe is both upscale and casual, good for groups. For a different Portland hit, Cheryl's on 12th offers another take on comfort food.
