Le Bistro Montage, or simply Montage, was a restaurant in Portland, Oregon, United States.

Description and History

[edit]

Characterized as quirky,[1] and long a favorite of the late night crowd,[2][3] it featured communal dining and eclectic Cajun fare such as alligator, frog legs, and jambalaya served late into the night. Originally on Belmont Street, it later moved to larger quarters at the site of the former Royal Hotel under the Morrison Bridge.

The restaurant closed in June 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5] They operate three food carts under the name Montage ala Cart located at Hawthorne Asylum, Happy Valley Station and BG's Food Cartel.[6][7][8]

The Doug Fir Lounge has announced plans to relocate to the building which had previously housed Le Bistro Montage in 2023.[9]
