Fez

A new restaurant named Fez has replaced Hamdi on Washington Ave. The signage says that they serve “Mediterranean Cuisine”. I haven’t seen the menu yet but a regular PFM reader tells me they serve Moroccan food.

Zapoteca Opening Today

Zapoteca is set to open today at 4:30. They aim to be Portland’s answer for the intersection of Mexican food and fine dining. At last count they were planning on offering 80 tequilas at the bar.

I’m especially looking forward to trying the Ceviche Veracruzano which the menu describes as “Fresh, locally caught whitefish marinated in tangy lime juice with tomato, tomatillos, jalapeño, manzanilla olives & avacado. Fresh tortilla chips.”

According to the floor plan the restaurant will seat up to 80 people.

The Holy Donut

Portlanders now have a new source for fresh donuts. Leigh Kellis has started up a new business called The Holy Donut. You can find her wonderful creations at several local coffee shops including Bard Coffee and Hilltop Coffee Shop. Kellis is also looking to expand into direct sales to offices. So if you need some snacks for your next morning meeting consider giving her a call.
