Fenouil
Fenouil is a defunct French restaurant in Portland, Oregon. The business operated from 2005 to 2011.
Description
Grant Butler of The Oregonian described Fenouil as an "enormous", two-story French restaurant next to Jamison Square in northwest Portland's Pearl District.[1] Eater Portland's Erin DeJesus described the restaurant as a "French-meets-contemporary-Northwest spot".[2] Fodor's said, "The large stone fireplace, expansive bar, bistro menu, and widely revered spring-onion soup are a few of the reasons patrons keep coming back to this warm and elegant two-story restaurant. Notable entrée choices vary by season, but two reliable crowd pleasers are the grilled Kobe sirloin and the wood-fired duck breast with Armagnac-soaked prunes. There's live music on Friday nights. At the end of each month the chef creates an all-inclusive "regional dinner" that explores foods from a unique culinary region."[3]
History
Fenouil operated form 2005 to 2011.[2][4][5] Pascal Chureau was the opening chef.[6]
