citylikeyou — MÅURICE — Portland by Lehman Pekkola

Portland / Restaurant

A beautiful luncheonette situated in the heart of Portland, MÅURICE is a haven in the city. Blending French & Nordic cuisines, you can’t help but slow down, breathe in, and enjoy the finer things in life. You’ll find fresh flowers on every table, one of the many touches that make this place special. My favourite place to dine in Portland. Recommendations: the daily quiche, a glass of rosé, and a currant + fennel pastry.

Portland / Park

I find myself walking through Powell Butte quite often. I love its old apple orchards, flat meadows and incredible view of Mt. Hood. On a clear day, 5 mountains can be seen from the park. The place is an extinct volcano and Portland's second largest park after Forest Park.

Portland / Club

The Fraternal Order of the Eagles opens their doors for all types of community events. My favorites are the monthly Twilight Rummage Sale and twice-yearly Night Owl Record show. They also have Friday night karaoke, Sunday morning Bingo brunch and you can rent the place out pretty cheap for rock shows.

Portland / Cinema

This neighborhood theater is one of the oldest movie houses in the U.S. It opened up in 1915. I love to see movies here, especially screenings put on by Cinema Project. They are a collectively run, non-profit that screens amazing avant-garde films from the past and present.

Portland / Restaurant

The best sushi and the cheapest, which normally doesn’t make sense, but it really is. It’s a train too so it’s easy to grab a seat and eat whatever you like for as long as you like. Classic 80’s hits help wash it all down. Probably my most frequented restaurant in Portland.

Portland / Sanctuary

The National Sanctuary of our Sorrowful Mother is a 62-acre Catholic shrine and botanical garden. The upper level has an amazing space-age meditation chapel providing awesome views of the Columbia River and Mt. St. Helens. It's made of polished granite and glass walls.
