The meal and the lovely attention to balancing flavors and presentation will live on in my memory. We had brioche and baby lettuces as a start and were immediately delighted. Two of us had the scallops and were overjoyed. Two of us had gnocchi and were enraptured. All of us ate off of each others’ plates. We were too full for dessert but had it anyway - don’t sleep on the miso black cherry ice cream or the bread pudding. Between us, we four ordered most cocktails offered and they were all lovely and somehow both simple and fancy. And after all this one more incredible praise: the meal will live on in my memory and part of what lodges it there was the incredible, detailed, kind service. Six out of five stars for service! We loved, loved, loved celebrating our special occasion there and may need to make our way back even though we don’t live in in Portland.

Genuinely one of the best dining experiences of my life. The burger was probably the best I’ve ever had, and the lobster roll was easily top 2. Don’t sleep on the carrots either, those were excellent (we ate them too quickly to get a photo). The prawns were perfectly poached, and melted in your mouth. I wish I lived in Portland so I could eat here regularly. Highly recommend.

Delicious food in this popular French restaurant. The Duck Confit Toast (Fromage D'affinois, Huckleberry Jam, Arugula, Pickled Shallots, Pink Peppercorn, Nasturium) was deliciousness on a baguette. Highly recommended. And it goes very well with the Sunriver Rippin Pale Ale if you feel like having beer instead of wine. One more thing, the main entry door is truly heavy, so push hard. Bon appétit!

Absolutely a must try. Atmosphere is amazing. Would be a great spot for business dinners, friends dinner, or date night. Also a large cute patio.
Their cocktail menu was inventive and delightful. Their French fries were impecable with shoe string type fries that were the perfect crispy amount and a dill dipping sauce. Seared albacore was amazing, spicy sweet with a pineapple jalapeño topper. And the stone fruit tomato salad was a salad I wouldn’t have thought to put together but worked so good. We did finish dinner with the gnocchi and I would say that was the weakest dish out of the line up. Then did the dessert cheese which was yummy. Decadent but not sweet.
Staff was helpful and nice. Overall great experience

Excellent meal and experience at Normandie! Super quick and attentive service during a busy Friday evening! We arrived absolutely starving after a long travel day to Portland, and quickly found ourselves lucky to secure probably the last reso of the night at 9pm.
Our table of 4 ate pretty much the entire menu including but not limited to oysters, charred asparagus, octopus, gnocchi, 2 burgers, radicchio salad, 3 rounds of the octopus (loool it’s insane good!!!!) and the fish large plate. Don’t judge us - we were crazy hungry, and portions were still very reasonable. Everything was phenomenal.
The only downside of our entire meal? The side of fries was just a bit (a lot) lack lustre compared to everything else.
In total we were in and out in an hour and a half, which is nuts considering the quality of the food and how busy it was when we arrived. Huge kudos to the whole team and will absolute recommend return when visiting again down the line.

Wow...I have no other words. From the amazing aperitif cocktail that was such a unique combo of multiple flavors to the phenomenal dishes we tasted...the service and tastes of NORMANDIE are like no other. I was partial to the amazing octopus, while my husband quickly convinced me that the mix of the flavors of the spare ribs were like nothing we’d ever tasted before but were 100% on point. Not to detract from the amazing galette and gnocchi... we were blown away and can’t wait for our travels to bring us back to try all of the other items on the menu. Thanks for the incredible tastes and experience! Can’t wait to come back!

An impressive display of food merriment from a kitchen who puts out exceptional combinations. Main courses were outstanding and thoughtful. The halibut was shear perfection while the gnocchi held it's own with fluffy deliciousness enhanced with crab and mushroom. Go.

We celebrated our one year anniversary here and had the best time. The oysters were delicious and the horseradish granita it was served with was delicious! The Spanish octopus was perfect, and I highly recommend the miso ice cream with the seas of cheese cocktail. Thank you to the staff who were so kind and thoughtful who wished us a happy anniversary!

Fantastic food, interesting and unexpected flavor combinations and one of the best burgers you will get in the city! Fresh oysters with different random toppings provided a great start to the meal. We also got the crab croquettes, crispy, tender and not greasy. I was tremendously surprised by the charred octopus. The flavor profile of all the ingredients together on the plate was the full deal - sweet, sour, spicy, meaty. An incredible dinner and great attentive service!

Every single item I had was extremely over salted. And I love salt, so that says something. The burger, onions, and fries were almost inedible which is frustrating for such a nice place! I will say however, the oysters were absolutely amazing. I did let them know about the salt and was not expecting them to comp the burger (I asked them not to) so I will say their service is top notch. Could have been an off night, it happens, but it really shouldn’t at a fine dining establishment.
