Real cozy atmosphere and the food was fantastic. I had a great time and would definitely come here again.
We went here during the Winter 2025 menu.
For the small plates / appetizers, we had the scallops, chicken liver tart, and the french onion soup. The scallops were probably the weakest dish since the rice puff texture felt a bit stale but the other two were absolutely delicious. The chicken liver tart was rich and the pairing of the jam and greens was well done. The french onion soup was very dense and rich which was a really interesting spin and delicious.
For mains, we had the gnocchi, rabbit crepe, and beef cheek (bourguignon). Out of all 3, the gnocchi was the star here and one of my favorite dishes I’ve ever had – I’ll be back to get just this one of these days. The rabbit crepe was very good although felt like it was more of an entree I’d get earlier in the day. The beef cheek was very good but the potato crisps took away from the texture of both the beef and potato puree.
For dessert, we had the hazelnut cake and L’Orange cake. Both of these were delicious although the L’Orange was my favorite by far because of the great mix of textures between the cake, brulee’d sugar, and orange jam.
I wish there were more non-alcoholic options as a non-drinker but they did have a very large wine selection.

Great atmosphere…in a Victorian style house, cozy seating and plenty of staff to help.
Service was good. Portions were appropriately explained. A little turned off that we were told we had to order our food all at the same time (except bread).
Enjoyed the fall menu. Highs and okays. Duck was cooked perfectly but felt the accompaning items were ok. Pasta was delicious but overly salty and sauce read more like a gravy. Shaved cheese with glazed nuts and sherry jelly were outstanding! Salad was pretty good though the dressing couldn’t help with the tartness of large leaves of radicchio.
A little disappointed with wine list and for a wine restaurant, having only 4 red wines by the glass and not much for earthy wines by the bottle. Wines were fine just expected more.

So glad I finally checked this place out, it had been on my want to go list for some time.
We had the squash, pasta campanelle, and duck confit. Everything we ate was amazing.
We also tried both of the orange wines, which were both great but I did slightly prefer the Orgo.
The team running L’Orange are great. Very kind and helpful with menu recs!
Please note, you will have to walk up stairs to get to the restaurant.

I went here for my birthday for the first time and had the best meal I have ever had in my life! Licked the plate clean kind of good! I originally choose this place for the French onion soup which was delicious but the scallop appetizer stole the show! I could have eaten that as a main course if my main course the sturgeon wasn’t so delicious. We ordered extra bread so we could have every last drop of the sauce.
The staff was so welcoming and friendly. We sat at the counter near the kitchen and they were funny and kind when we sent them praise. Such a cute homely place that may very well be my new favorite restaurant ever!

This European + Mediterranean + PNW inspired restaurant is quaint, adorable, cozy and has all the little details down even including their cute bathroom decor. I loved all the different colorful wallpaper throughout. They have different rooms for their seating which makes it more intimate and not as loud. The staff is down-to-earth and very helpful with the menu and narrowing down choices from the wine list to the menu and dessert.
I personally loved the cheese small plate (fun to eat), scallop small plate, French onion soup, pork & duck main entrees. The execution of each dish was excellent. The wine selection is fantastic as well. The prices are also very reasonable so you’re able to try several items without breaking the bank.
I would highly recommend this spot for any occasion, really, but a nice date night or girls night would be perfect. I can’t wait to come back to try more.

Portland’s L’Orange has been making waves as a destination for inventive Pacific Northwest cuisine, with its focus on seasonal ingredients and bold flavors. On a recent visit, my party of four was eager to dive into the hype, but the evening left us with a mix of admiration and bewilderment.
To start, the Chicories salad delivered a crisp, bitter punch, its assertiveness tempered by a creamy dressing and crunchy hazelnuts. The Cauliflower was a triumph-charred at the edges, bathed in a velvety sauce that struck the right balance of richness and acidity. The pillowy Gnocchi, dressed with seasonal ingredients, was another highlight, its delicate chew yielding to a deeply savory broth.
However, not every plate hit the mark. The Mussels & Clams, while plentiful, were underwhelming, lacking the depth of flavor we’d hoped for.
Also, our seating arrangement in the purple room was perplexing: two round tables pushed together, leaving one member of our party awkwardly isolated, as if dining alone. When we brought this to the attention of our server, his response-that other customers hadn’t complained
—felt dismissive and unaccommodating.
L’Orange has moments of brilliance, but attention to detail-both in hospitality and consistency-keeps it from true greatness. For now, it remains a restaurant of highs and lows, worth a visit for its strengths but approached with cautious expectation.

Fantastic dinner with friends. Small restaurant with a great atmosphere and absolutely delicious menu. It’s a small menu, but with how good everything is it doesn’t matter. We got almost every item on the menu and everything was great. Different flavors and textures throughout. The wine menu is fun.

We’ve been twice this year, and both times the food knocked our socks off. Don’t sleep on the soup, it’s the perfect opening scene. Whiskey ice cream + L’Orange cake is the move. Lovely servers both visits! Gotta love the old Portland house vibes.
A selfish request: I can’t drink wine or beer, and I’d love to be able to order a basque cider next visit 😉

Food: pretty good. Had gnocchi, beef cheek, broccolini, and a few other dishes. Wasn’t bad, but wasn’t amazing, was fine. Enjoyed the food, but would likely not recommend it to friends who haven’t been.
Service: mediocre service. It was fine at first, but deteriorated. My wife ordered a glass of wine to drink. I ordered a beer, perhaps a faux pas in a wine restaurant, but if so, then don’t include beer in your drink menu (or perhaps I’m wrong that it was a faux pas). In any case, at some point my wife was done with her wine and I was done with my beer. Both glasses were clearly empty and we had half of our dinner left to eat. It’s dimly light in the room, so maybe our server didn’t notice the empty glasses, so I put my empty glass on the edge of the table (opposite the wall we were seated next to), so the server could see it more clearly, then I started counting time. Over 5 minutes went by during which the empty glasses sat on the table and our sever not only continued tending to other customers adjacent to us (and not checking in on us), but walked by our table 3 times without checking in (and while the empty glasses sat was sitting on the edge of the table). In that scenario, the reasonable assumption for me to make is that the server is aware of the empty glasses, but is for some reason not checking in. It was not super busy and the server had time to check in on the other patrons in our vicinity. After about 7 minutes, I got the sever’s attention and told him we each wanted another drink. This is an easy variable to manage at a restaurant that they managed very poorly and seemingly intentionally. Server was not very friendly or warm, and at the end of the dinner after our drinks were done, our plates were cleared, after we had looked at the dessert menu and after I had drank the espresso I ordered (off the dessset menu) (i.e., we were done and ready for the check), the server came over and rather than asking if we were ready for the check, instead told us that “turning time” was approaching (i.e., it was time to go). I said “yea, we can take the check” – just a careless way to end the customer experience. Service is as important as food/drink, and it was not good. It’s easy to not let a customer have that experience (e.g., it’s easy to notice empty glasses and check in and not ignore two customers for almost 10 minutes)
Atmosphere: pretty good. It’s small, but I doubt there is much they can do about the size. The chairs in the main room are okay, seats are a bit low (for someone who is tall). Tables are kind of cramped, but again it’s a small place. The aesthetic is nice, but the bird hanging from the bathroom ceiling was a bit off.

I don’t know how L’Orange hadn’t been on my radar before now. We had an incredible meal there last night – maybe the best of the entire year. Standouts were the chicken liver mousse tartlet, the rabbit crepe, and the duck confit. The Chardonnay that the owner makes was also fantastic. Service was friendly but professional. We’ll definitely be returning. Next time we’ll sit at the bar – such a cute little space.
