Little Bird Bistro was a French bistro in Portland, Oregon, in the United States. The restaurant opened in 2010, and closed on October 27, 2019.

Description and history

Little Bird was a French bistro in downtown Portland. It opened in 2010,[1] and has been called Le Pigeon's "downtown sister".[2] The Oregonian's Michael Russell described the restaurant as a "Swiss Army knife, stately enough for a business lunch, lively enough for an anniversary dinner, yet able to handle a drop-in at 10:45 p.m."[3] The dining room was designed by Mark Annen, and featured robin egg blue walls, tall mirrors, and taxidermied birds.[3]

In 2015, Gabriel Rucker replaced opening chef Erik Van Kley. Rucker's team of chefs included Marcelle Crooks, Andrew Gordon, and Su Lien Pino.[3] As of 2015, Kristen Thoennes served as general manager and Andy Fortgang is Little Bird's wine director.[3]

The restaurant closed on October 27, 2019.[1][4][5][6]

Reception

In 2012, Little Bird was The Oregonian's selection for "Restaurant of the Year".[3][7] In 2016, the newspaper ranked Little Bird number 16 on its list of "Portland's 101 best restaurants".[8] The Oregonian's Michael Russell included Little Bird is his list of "Portland's most painful restaurant closures of 2019".[9]
