Quaintrelle was a New American restaurant in Portland, Oregon, United States.[1] It closed permanently on January 1, 2025.

Description and history

[edit]

Quaintrelle was a New American[2] restaurant on Clinton Street in southeast Portland's Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood. The restaurant was established in 2016,[3] originally operating on Mississippi Avenue in the north Portland part of the Boise neighborhood before relocating in 2021.[4]

Ryley Eckersley was a chef.[5] The restaurant's seating capacity was approximately 65 (20 indoors and 45 outdoors).[6] Willamette Week has described Quaintrelle as a "whimsical" fine dining restaurant.[7]

In 2023, Naomi Pomeroy became a consultant for Quaintrelle.[8] In December 2024, the restaurant announced plans to close permanently on January 1, 2025, after New Year's Eve dinner and celebrations.[9][3][10][11] Michael Russell included Quaintrelle in The Oregonian's list of the 21 "most painful" restaurant and bar closures of 2024.[12]

Quaintrelle was replaced by the restaurant 82 Acres.[13]
