C'est Si Bon! Bistro+Vins

This is a chill and tiny French Cuisine bistro, excellent chef and best host, with quite a list of wine selections. Menu is not big, but all is fantastic, absolutely delicious, worthy to eat a full round and pairing with the host’s selection of wines. We had a wonderful dinner and would definitely go again.

Incredible food, ambiance and service. Easily a top restaurant in Portland. The duck was succulent and perfect. The mussels and chorizo dish superb and flavorful. From wine selection, appetizers, mains and dessert with coffee, everything was on point. We were served by the charismatic and charming owner, making it even more special and memorable. We'll definitely be back!!

This intimate spot is my favorite place for any date night. Wish I have more pics, but we were just in the present moment. To top it off, it’s like a 3 minute walk from home for us. Food is made to perfection and wine selections are all great. The owner is so helpful and treats everyone like a client and we love that! Although the space is intimate, we didn’t feel uncomfortable. Such a sweet little spot that we will always return.

Beautiful experience. In layman's terms: 3 wines, fresh and bright salad, local fresh catch with complimentary flavor encoutrements, chocolate mouse. Just lovely.

I've known this place for a while, but haven't visited till today. Big regrets. The only downside for many would be the portion of dishes. Not necessarily very generous, but just OK. Other than that, everything was far beyond my expectations. Appetizer- Prawn something 4/5, tomato bisque 4/5. Entree- mussels 5/5,sablefish 5/5 Dessert- crepe 6/5, my wife is a big crepe fan and literally tries every creperie in sight. Her best crepe so far has been from the French restaurant in the Epcot in WDW, FL 15 years ago. Now we have a new winner. Will definitely revisit to try other entrees and more crepes.

Such a wonderful, intimate restaurant. I don't know why I don't see it written up in more places! The wine selection is always stellar and the food is rich. The restaurant owner is really passionate about all their offerings, he is extremely helpful with pairings and understanding the menu. This is a birthday spot for us every year, we look forward to coming back!

Wow is my first thought. My husband surprised me with a dinner here. At first glance, I thought it was very stylish and quaint. It is a small little place but the food here is BIG (in terms of flavor). I loved everything that was put in front of me and the wine selection was hand-selected by the owner himself who also served us our food. We had the Cheese Bonbon's and Foie Gras to start. They melted in your mouth good! The beet salad was unique and had tons of flavor. The octopus was delicious! I couldn't get enough of this place. I can't wait to go back and try all the other things on the menu! This is a gem of a find in PDX.

Outstanding service, food and personal touch from the owner. First of all, I was a single diner but I still felt very welcomed. I also noticed that many of the customers are repeat and warmly greeted by the staff and owner. It was tough to choose what to order since everything was very appealing. For the appetizer I got the really nice roasted cauliflower, a wonderful treat with several harmonious flavors. That was followed by wonderful scallops. I suggest that you ask the owner to recommend wine even if you think you know a lot about wine. Just tell him what you like and he will provide a great selection.

First time here; my wife and I had the 9 course tasting menu with wine paring. Everything, wines and food, was exceptional. The proprietor of this intimate fine bistro gives personal care and attention to each customer. The quality and service justify the check. It’s perfect for a special, intimate evening or a special dinner with another couple.

Fantastic! I want to give myself 5 stars for finding this place :-) Food is top notch, wine selection and recommendations are top notch, the passion that goes into service is top notch, … We had a memorable dining experience here. Thank you!

I can't believe I am just now discovering this place. We had a wonderful meal of foie gras appetizer and famous cheese puff pastry appetizer and the pork in wine sauce special. Prices were reasonable . I will be back!

Romantic, intimate, flavorful and decadent. My partner and I had date night with C’es Si Bon last night and we will definitely be coming back. Great wine recommendations and the food is excellent. Even better than Le Pigeon in our option.

We had another wonderful meal and evening at C’est Si Bon. Delicious food and wines. Convivial atmosphere. John is always a wonderful host. A gem in Portland.

PDX Foodies…Do yourself a huge favor and add this to your list. Bar none the best dining experience we have had in PDX. The food and wine/bubbles selection is absolutely amazing! The food-porn photos I have included speak for themselves. John thank you for making us feel so at home. We will always return.

A wonderful dinner. The almond crusted rock fish was incredible. The sauce was perfect. Everything was delicious and beautifully plated. My photos don't do it justice.

Truly one of the best places to eat in all of Portland!! After a long awaited re-opening my wife and I took a date night without our son. The food was simply divine and the service was impeccable. Jon (the owner) is a not only a great host, but his keen eye for perfection is seen in all that C'est Si Bon has to offer. Thanks for another wonderful meal. Great to have this you back, we will be back!!

The food and drinks are incredible ! Don’t miss a chance to stop by this place and get an experience that you probably can get only in France.

If any restaurant is deserving of a Michelin star it’s C’est Si Bon! We’ve only been here twice but have always left beyond satisfied. Our second time there we did the pre-fix menu with the wine pairing and while it’s a bit pricey it’s more than fair and such an incredible experience. Every course is delicious. It’s a small seating area and so intimate, combined with the owner being very involved and knowledgeable… could not imagine a better experience and I cannot recommend this place enough.

delicious! the food was exquisite, and excellent atmosphere- just what I was looking for. the owner was very kind and the server, marshall, provided warm and exceptional service! wonderful experience, I’ll definitely be returning

I will give a 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food is amaizing and they have my favorite desserts. Super romantic and cozy.

We wanted to find a cute little spot to celebrate our engagement and found this amazing restaurant! Right when we walked through the door we immediately felt at home. The atmosphere was very cozy and romantic and the staff were more than happy to clear a space for us. We let the staff who sat us know that we were celebrating our engagement and they had the owner, John, come over to speak to us. He was so knowledgeable, provided amazing recommendations and wine pairings and made us feel special! The bartender made us fantastic bourbon sours, and the scallops & cheese bonbons were so so good. John made the crepe dessert himself and it was life changingly delicious. We were blown away by our experience here and will definitely be back.

The intimate setting created the ideal atmosphere, and the knowledgeable staff made us feel welcomed and well taken care of. The wine selection was outstanding, and their recommendations were spot on. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a special evening with great food and exceptional service!

Wonderful bistro with well executed dishes and a fantastic wine program. All the staff were kind and showed a true interest in crafting a wonderful meal for us. Those that are seeking classic French dishes will find a lovely meal. And for those with a desire to explore a wider breadth of wines, you will find a curated and well priced selection with a staff that guides you along the way. Great stuff and I can't wait to return.

My husband and I had dinner last night and we had a delightful time. The waiter & owner took great care of us. They even gave us a taste of free wine to go along with our dinner. We could tell that they wanted us to have an exceptional experience. Merci Beaucoup for such high level hospitality!

The food was well prepared and the wine pairings were fantastic. John did an excellent job navigating the different palettes of our guests and had wine recommendations that were reasonable and excellent. It’s food you don’t see everywhere and exceeded expectations each time. The seating was a bit crowded as it’s a very small place. We found it delightful. If you have an opportunity to speak with John, please do so. It was his excellence that made this restaurant stand out for us.

Heavenly! The best meal and experience in Portland in a very long time. Felt transported to France where everything is slowed down and about the moment. My nervous system approves! Absolutely impressed.

Absolutely amazing. Place is very quaint - we sat in the corner next the kitchen and got the extra experience of seeing some of the magic happen. Food was amazing, service was just the same. Definitely will be back for sure!!!! Can’t wait!

Had an amazing dinner here with my partner. The tasting menu was fantastic, great wine and cocktail selection, the owner was amazing and friendly, super knowledgeable. I would recommend this place to anyone especially the tasting menu.

Oh my goodness! My birthday and marriage proposal in one, extraordinary night! The food here is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere is quaint and cozy! The owner and staff was wonderfully inviting and engaging! Highest recommendation for this restaurant C'est Si Bon! Check it out!

Just top notch dining in Portland. Amazing value, heavy wine pours, incredible, fresh, french food and fantastic service in an intimate setting. The tasting menu is always spectacular. I can't say enough good things about the experience.

Cute, intimate French spot with a cozy vibe and just a few tables. We had the bon bon appetizer, duck, trout, and crème brulée — everything was delicious, though I do wish the duck had been a bit more tender. Overall, really friendly server and great service!

The food was delicious, the service was great, and great atmosphere. It's a very small dinning room so you are definitely going to want to make reservations.

Excellent vibes. Great hospitality, yummy food, comfortable + classy, great cocktails and good wine. Great date night spot!

We ordered foie gras and warm baguette for appetiser. Foie gras was the day’s special and was tasty. Baguette was mediocre. Bouillabaisse classique was tasty. Especially I would like to mention the garlic sauce that came with it. The flavour it gave to the crostini was amazing. Muscovy Duck confit was also tasty. I loved the French 68 wine here and also the Calvi cosmo cocktail. Service is slow but was told to us right at the beginning about it.

Good food, great service and ambiance. Some entrees were underseasoned.

Lovely little place. Very charming. Great wine list. Food was good but not exceptional. Great place for a romantic candlelight dinner with your partner. I enjoyed my time there solo also.

High end restaurant with French menu with a number of fine selections for food, wine and cocktails. Excellent and attentive service.

It’s a cute date spot but it’s overpriced for the portion size and the taste, while good, isn’t in line with the cost. Servers were nice. This dish was $34. Wine is $15-20/glass.

The servers are really nice and the place is cute. But the portion is pretty small for the price and the flavors are just okay compared to other French restaurants nearby. The shrimps were a bit dried and hard and the duck was very small and a little dried. The service was slow. Our entire dinner was almost 3 hrs long.
