Beast

Portland


At Beast, celebrated local chef Naomi Pomeroy – who went from staging underground supper-club dinners to appearing on Top Chef and winning a James Beard Award – offers a set fixed-price menu of six courses, wine pairings optional. Dining here is an event. Expect wildly creative use of carefully sourced ingredients, and a lot of meat. Reserve ahead.
