Description

Eater Portland described Jacqueline as a "seasonal, vegetable and seafood-focused restaurant". [3] Located in southeast Portland's Hosford-Abernety neighborhood, the Pacific Northwest [4] restaurant has an aquatic theme and its name alludes to the film The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou . [5] The interior features a painting of actor Bill Murray. [6]

History

Chef owners Derek Hanson and Brandi Lansill opened the restaurant with co-owner Brian Dufour on August 24, 2016, [7] in a space which previously housed St. Jack and the French restaurant Renard. [3] Jacqueline began serving brunch in 2017. [8] Lansil was no longer a co-owner, as of 2018. [9]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant's take-out menu included tacos, seafood buns, and ceviche. [10] Jacqueline was "reborn" as Fair Weather in early 2021. [11] [12] The daytime cafe operation ended in December 2021. According to Thom Hilton of Eater Portland , Fair Weather's "seasonal doughnuts and colorfully-garnished coffee cocktails made it a social media sensation". [13]

In September 2024, Eater Portland described plans for Jacqueline to relocate to 25th Avenue, in the Hosford-Abernethy space that previously housed La Moule. Hanson also announced plans to operate the pop-up Fair Weather in the original Jacqueline space, until the lease ends. [14] Jacqueline re-opened in the new space on November 9, 2024. [15] [16]

Reception

In 2017, Jacqueline was nominated for Restaurant of the Year by Eater Portland. [17] Nick Woo included the restaurant in the website's 2019 list of "14 Delightful Spots to Eat and Drink on SE Clinton". [18] Nathan Williams included Jacqueline in Eater Portland's 2022 overview of "Where to Crack Open a Dungeness Crab in Portland". He said Jacqueline "is one of the city's finest spots for seasonal seafood, and its Dungeness crab toast is easily one of its menu's biggest stars". [19]

In 2023, pastry chef Darla Shaffer was one of 18 Portland industry professionals deemed "rising stars" by the restaurant resource and trade publication StarChefs. [20] [21] The business was included in Time Out Portland 's 2025 list of the city's eighteen best restaurants. [22] Michael Russell included Jacqueline in The Oregonian's 2025 list of the 21 best restaurants in southeast Portland. [23] He also ranked the business number 12 in the newspaper's 2025 list of Portland's 40 best restaurants. [24]
