The quiche arrives as though it's never heard of the stodgy version you've had before, light and trembling where quiche has no business being either. MÅURICE is a French-leaning pastry luncheonette from chef Kristen Murray, drawing from French and Norwegian traditions for a small menu of smørbrød, soups, and sweets. The black pepper cheesecake has its own local mythology. A cold bottle of white at midday in downtown Portland, and nowhere else quite like it.

Black pepper cheesecake
“The iconic black pepper cheesecake and lovingly fragile tartes are a reminder: Murray is a New York–trained pastry chef.”
Portland Monthly -
Smørbrød
“Diners might start with radishes with French butter or scallops in the shell with chamomile, moving on to the smørbrød of the day or a Norwegian yogurt soup with rhubarb and rye berries, and ending with a duck breast or ling cod filet.”
Eater -
Quiche
“And the quiche!”
The New York Times -
Meyer lemon pudding cake
“Peppery cheesecakes and Meyer lemon pudding cakes are a must for fika, the Swedish tradition of a coffee or tea break with something sweet on the side.”
