Portland Tribune gives some love to Pearl eateries!

by shooter
Mercato and The Daily Cafe get the nod from the Tribune, read the full article. Mercato gets overall praise for the variety and quality of the food. The Daily gets kudos for its dinner, calling at a best-kept secret dining spot in the city.

It also mentions the Cooks, Corks and Co-Conspirators dinners The Daily co-hosts with Caplan Art Designs. These dinners pair food, wine and a featured artist, and provide you the opportunity to meet the artist in a more intimate setting. Its a nice change of pace from First Thursday.

The next CC&C is May 7th at 6:30PM and features artist Carol Sims showing bold botanical acrylic paintings. The menu starts with lobster with avocado mousse, hearts of palm and papaya paired with Loire white wine. The entrée is roasted beef tenderloin, potato goat cheese gratin, tempura green beans, and ginger peppercorn sauce paired with Washington state syrah. Dessert is coconut ice cream with shortbread cookies and mango coulis. How can you resist that! For reservations call The Daily Cafe, 503-706-8627.

(Warning, shameless self promotion) The June CC&C features me. I will be showing hand colored infrared photography. You've seen samples on this blog, come see what else I've been doing. June 4th, 6Pm at The Daily Cafe.
