Petite Provence Boulangerie & Patisserie — Restaurant in Portland

This was one of those experiences where everything was a 10. The service and the server Liam was gracious to great care of us made an excellent recommendation. The food was over the top and hot as was the tea excellent unusual green tea and was great. They have three blended juices I had the orange and the carrot juice which was excellent. The jam they served with toast was out of this world Berry jam with with real experience of the flavor of the berry and not overwhelmed with sweetness just very tasty. My guest had the salmon hash and could not stop raving about it and it was definitely enough for minimum of two meals for her and possibly three. Mine was the baked eggs all Francais with bechamel sauce , mushrooms, 2 poached eggs, hash browns, swiss cheese graline and topped with gruyere cheese. Served with toasted baguette slices. We watched beautiful large croissants being delivered to the tables and you could tell they were favored because they were eating before the rest of the food came. Highly highly recommend this restaurant and if you look online you will find that there are several of them and I have eaten at two of them and found all three items to be just the same at those two restaurants I've eaten at the one on division Street which was the one today and then earlier before like in 2019 I ate at the one in Alberta 14th I think in Alberta but there are several others around in the city. It is an experience and we were there at a time just after opening where you could eat leisurely and not feel like you were depriving anybody of a table which can happen later in the morning of course I haven't eaten there since covid and so it might be a little slow to return but take the opportunity go enjoy and take your time as much time...

Mixed review. The food was terrific! I had salmon hash and eggs. Tammy had the best oatmeal we've ever tasted.

The reason 3 stars is this; it's one thing to be forgotten by the waitstaff, and yet another to not receive a simple apology. Tammy, after about 10 minutes of being seated, went inside from our table outside to ask if we are supposed to order inside. The same hostess who seated us, stated we needed to be seated and table prepared first. Which happened 10 minutes before.

Then after a few staff members went outside to check on the only other customer seated outside, our server came out to take our order.

From this point we felt like we were intruding. For example, the usual table service and attention from other staff members like the water being refilled by the person whose job it appeared to be to fill the waters, ours was nearly empty before we were added to the rotation despite the other customer being kept full. Or the red shirt guy who might be the manager asked the other customer how his breakfast was yet refused to so much as make eye contact with us, as he walked by our table while we sat, still, without service.

Soon the rest of the tables outside filled up and the place was busy with waitstaff, those customers received good service compared to ours. Our server was nice enough but our 3 eyes and green skin proved to be too much for Division Street.

Quite disappointing considering this nice little place could have been our Sunday breakfast place. AND we are great tippers for even...

A great spot to meet for a working lunch- service was quick, if not always thoughtful. I had the steak and eggs au jus. Sounded way too good to pass up!!

Our service experience was in turns pleasant and jarring...I loved the spry, short haired woman who had lots of spunk and geniality, great customer service skills- and then there was the youngish blonde who never noticed that she spilled water on my foot- and made the unfortunate decision to Windex the front windows within inches of our table as our food arrived, as we tried to enjoy the sunshine by opting for the sidewalk tables. Hardly appetizing.

I ordered the steak rare, but it came back well done. My colleague ordered hers medium rare...and lo and behold- it cam back well done. We mentioned it to the server who apologized profusely- and I opted to keep it- since I was already halfway through it by the time she checked in. It wasn't terrible! In fact, even well-done it was pretty darn tasty! I had the eggs poached- and the squash and fruit.

The fruit was fine- but sliced so that I had to eat it with my hands- awkward- and the squash was familiar- I buy the same frozen cubed squash from Whole Foods! It's not terrible...but frozen squash in the middle of summer? Really guys?

Not a bad experience- I certainly cleaned my plate- but being pregnant, that's not hard to do these days. I think I'd only drop in here for convenience- no real...
