St. Jack
Day 1: 5-Course Menu Testing Tasting Event
A real survivor on today’s volatile restaurant scene, having debuted in 2010, this neo-bistro is keeping things fresh, having just been named to Eater’s 2025 List of “10 Superb French Restaurants to Try in Portland” and Oregonian’s 2025 list of “21 Best Restaurants of Southeast Portland.” Chef/Owner Aaron Barnett was named a 2011 Portland StarChef and a 2012 Semi-Finalist for a James Beard “Best Chefs in America: NW” award. At St. Jack, he expresses his love for the famous bouchons in Lyon that are so expressive of that region’s superb cuisine. Here, one finds pomme frites with aioli, rhubarb and endive salad, chicken liver mousse with port poached prune, braised rabbit with mustard, marvelous desserts like Meyer lemon coeur a la crème and madeleines with seasonal compote and chantilly cream, and much more. Portland Monthly hails St. Jack for serving “dishes rarely seen outside of France,” while The Infatuation says, “We’ll never say no to a trip to St. Jack.” Neither will we, and we hope to see you there!
