Aviary

The last dinner for our weekend in Portland was at Aviary, a restaurant that "applies classic French techniques to exotic Eastern flavors."


It's located at 1733 NE Alberta Street.


Bagna Cauda is brought to the table when you order. This was quite good with just a hint of anchovy.


One of the choices for the first course was shrimp toast--lemon anchovy aioli, mojama, grapes, water chestnuts, mustard seeds, horseradish. This wasn't too memorable.


The other option was oxtail cannelloni--daikon radish, rutabaga, housemade xo sauce, mint, peanuts, I really liked this. The cannelloni was rolled in a thin sheet of radish and the sauce had a nice flavor.


One of the entree options was hoisin glazed beef short rib--turnip cake, bacon, mustard greens, fried shallots. 


The other option was butter poached salmon--yuzukoshō, cauliflower, spinach, salmon roe, crispy skin. The salmon was well prepared.


Dessert was a chocolate truffle cake with white & dark ganache, cherry. This was moist and delicious.
