The last two times I have dined here have not been pleasant. Today when I went to La Provence, the hostess gave me a breakfast menu. It was 2:30pm, so I had to ask for the correct menu. Mind you, there were only two other tables being served. She sat me at a table and it was quite cold so I asked to be moved. After I ordered, the hostess started mopping the floor with a strong bleach. I don't know about you, but I don't want to have lunch with a strong bleach odor in the air. So I asked to be moved again, this time to the other side of the restaurant. My salad came and it was decent, but I just could'nt enjoy it with all the commotion going on. The staff was clearly in a hurry to leave, forget about the client's needs, just let me get off work. If the owner was there today I suggest he retrains his staff. I won't go back, there are too many other great restaurants in Portland. Especially if looking for a french bistro, try St. Honore. It at least reminds me of Paris with a french chef. St. Honore's product is A+, infact why did I even give La Provence another chance. Won't happen again!

This place is bogus all the way around. They have coffee, and no real cream (just the funny stuff in plastic capsules). That doesn't matter anyway, because you must have to have a note from home to get a cup of coffee here. Ditto for a glass of water. In fact I had to ask for EVERYTHING....and that was after sitting at my table for 15 minutes before ordering. Also, no bread plates for the bread on the table. My meal arrived WITH the tomatoes I had asked to NOT have. The waitress told me she sometimes can't read the orders she writes because her eyes are bad. Honest perhaps....but not helpful. The food was soggy and lukewarm when it arrived...the second time. The place is NOISEY and the floor needs to be cleaned. And..there is nothing even remotely French about this place. I didn't even see a Croissant in the bakery case. That being said....the Hashbrown Potatoes were excellent, Marionberry Muffin was A+, and Salsa quite good.

My husband and I have been eating at La Provence for a while now. Their food is consistently excellent and the atmosphere makes us feel like we are back in Paris. We even have a favorite server, Alicia. She's friendly, attentive and has a great sense of humor. I always get the same thing-- the Tuscan Omlette. It is absolutely mouthwatering with mozarella cheese, chicken, roasted garlic and sundried tomatoes. I just drooled on my keyboard thinking about it. Also they have to-die-for muffins (my favorite is the apple with real apples baked in) and a wide array of baked goods, desserts and other goodies. My husband's favorite dish is the Chorizo Hash but he also loves their French Toast. Good coffee too! Check'em out, chances are you won't be disappointed.
