MÅURICE describes itself as a modern pastry luncheonette, working Norwegian and French influences into a single room on SW Oak Street in Southwest Portland. The day is split into two services: Fika and quiche in the morning, followed by Le Menu for the rest of the afternoon.
Regulars point to meticulous craftsmanship and hospitality often tied to the owner's presence on the floor, with particular praise for the seafood and pastry work. The pace throughout is unhurried, in keeping with the restaurant's own framing of nourishment and bliss at the table.
MÅURICE has been named to the Eater 38 and has drawn repeat recognition from the James Beard Foundation, including a Best Chef finalist nod in 2020, Best Chef semifinalist honors in 2019 and 2026, and Outstanding Pastry Chef semifinalist recognition across 2015 through 2018.
