A number of Portland restaurants are now offering specials, giving diners stressed by the bad economy another reason to keep eating out. Here’s a list of the ones I’ve heard about so far:
- Bar Lola – 5-course prix-fixe menu, Wednesday-Saturday, $36.
- Blue Spoon – 3-course prix fixe menu, Monday-Saturday, $25.
- Cinque Terre – “A select chef’s tasting menu”, Wedneday-Saturday, $27.50.
- Emilitsa – “an endless series of metzethes small plates, chef’s choice, served family style.” Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 5-7 pm, $20.
- Evangeline – 3-course prix fixe menu on Monday nights, $25-30.
- Hugo’s – 3-course “includes a choice of first course, main course and dessert”, Tuesday-Thursday, $25.
- Vignola – 4-course prix fixe, Sunday evenings, $25.
And in early March 20+ Portland restaurants are participating in RestaurantWeekME. March 1-10 they’ll all be offering prix fixe menus for $20.09, $30.09 or $40.09.
