Navarre is a restaurant in Portland, Oregon. [2] [3]

Description

Nick Wood of Eater Portland wrote, "With a menu featuring French, Spanish, and Italian small and large plates, Navarre tastes and feels like a neighborhood European restaurant. While ordering off a checklist like a sushi restaurant or dim sum feels awkward at first, your patience is rewarded with dishes like succulent hanger steak with a crisp crust, Roman-style artichokes with tender stems and luscious hearts, bright pickled vegetables, and smooth and rich pork and foie gras pâtés that do not skimp on the foie. With about 50 wines available in half pours, a variety of different European ones can be tasted relatively inexpensively." [4]
