Paley’s Place offers Pacific Northwest regional cuisine, served in the warm and inviting setting of a Victorian home. Chef and owner, Vitaly Paley, creates seasonal menus from the bounty of the Northwest - fresh organic ingredients supplied by local farmers, growers and purveyors - with Southern French and Northern Italian influences. While the wine list offers an extensive selection exclusively from the wine regions of Oregon, Washington and France, “Wine Wednesday” takes a more global approach to wine tasting with wine flights available from around the world. Seating is intimate, yet casual - both in the dining room and bar or outside on the porch.
Paley’s Place
1204 NW 21st Avenue

Dinner daily
Owned by husband and wife, Kimberly and Vitaly Paley, the restaurant is housed in a quaint Victorian cottage in Northwest Portland. He mans the stoves while she graciously runs the front of the house. The cuisine is partly Northwest, partly French, but solidly rooted in classic French technique.
The Paleys are pioneers of Portland’s sustainable agriculture campaign. They are passionate about wine and wine pairings, and there is an intimate bar and bar menu. The atmosphere is traditional, romantic, but unfussy.
If you’re inclined to want to wear a sport jacket or a dress to dinner, this is one of a few places in the city that you won’t feel out of place (though it is positively not required).
Some menu favorites include Moules Frîtes, Sweetbreads, Dungeness Crab Salad, and Chicken Roulade.
