Portland's Vibe

Carafe is a French bistro conveniently located in downtown Portland, They provide authentic French fare with Northwest flavors and seasonally inspired ingredients, spectacular service and expert wine pairings. Another understated but great aspect of the location is free valet parking and ticket validation. Up to two hours in a downtown garage for free with your meal: unbeatable.  And the food? Unreal. So why go there now? Carafe was recently purchased by a Portland restaurant group and will be closed for transition starting the 2nd of June. You must try their food before ownership changes!
