Navarre sits in Kerns, pouring more than 50 wines by the glass alongside a menu of small and large plates rooted in French, Italian, and Spanish cooking. The kitchen leans vegetable-forward, with weekly specials following deliveries from its CSA partner, 47th Avenue Farms, filtered through the staff's own interests that week.
James Melendez runs the kitchen, with Francine overseeing the front of house.
Navarre has built a strong base of regulars, and Portland Monthly named it among the city's best restaurants.
