The three-chef-owned Aviary, an Asian-French restaurant from recent NYC transplants Sarah Pliner, Jasper Shen, and Kat Whitehead, is the newest addition to the exciting Alberta Art’s District dining scene. The chefs’ impressive talents combine to create a tapas-style menu divided up into small, large, and vegetable plates, and some amazing desserts including beer-flavored ice cream! The kitchen at Aviary is churning out some of the most creative food in Portland, including tempura pumpkin with red curry, scallions, and thai basil, ox tail croquettes with tomato jam, roast goose salad with sweet soy and mint, and even crispy pig ear with coconut rice, chinese sausage, and avocado! They’ve also got a great drink menu. We’re sure Aviary will be a big hit in the neighborhood, it’s a perfect place for larger groups or an intimate date.
