Pix Patisserie

Portland


Run by French-trained pastry chef Cheryl Wakerhauser, Pix is a decadent haven for anyone with a sweet tooth. The desserts are so beautiful that you might hesitate to dig in, and each has a recommended drink pairing. Don't skimp on the famous macarons, and consider a 'Pix kinder egg' (complete with a French charm inside) for the little ones.

The wine list here is to die for, and it's a great place to pick up gorgeous gifts for deserving friends.

Not into sweets? The next-door Bar Vivant serves authentic Spanish tapas and drinks – and, purists take note – tossing napkins on the floor is encouraged.
