Lechon in Portland

August 13 2021

As we kept hearing that Portland was a food scene we wanted to find something different and found this peruvian restaurant.

smoked bone marrow- gaucho bread, parsley, shallot, caper mustard salad, chimichurri


what a bright and flavorful dinner. as we were only two dining we decided to opt for mostly tapas so that we could try as many different dishes as possible. we really do not have an ultimate favorite dish as all of them were really good and delicious in their own way. there were good combinations of freshness, acidity, CREAMINESS, and richness. seems like one of the more popular dish is the smoked bone marrow as we had heard that they had sold out of it later in the night. if ever in portland again we will definitely come back and try the other dishes on their menu. But be sure to book in advance or be willing to wait and maybe grab a spot at the bar.
