Portland


Tucked away in the back of PaaDee is this wildly popular and intimate space (the name means 'Back of the House') offering a set tasting menu eight times a week. Small plates feature the likes of scallops with coconut cream and lemongrass in rice cups, and mains like Issan-style curry halibut. It's booked out months in advance, so plan ahead.
