Portland's Jacqueline Is Moving Just Up the Street

A gorgeous oyster from a previous Shuck Portland event. — Not Jacqueline’s oyster specifically, but I love this photo of this boffo bivalve from a previous Shuck Portland.

Back in May, a Bridgetown Bites tipster emailed me with the news: “Jacqueline will be moving into the former La Moule/Bakers place at 25th and Clinton.” I wrote a little blurb at the time, and I’m happy to say that the tip has been further confirmed—first with a liquor license application from mid-August, and then with an article in The Oregonian this week (and the accompanying Instagram post).

Despite not being able to connect directly with Jacqueline (I had reached out a couple of times), I’m glad to see the details in The O—so get ready for a good ol’ fashioned reblog.

Here is bullet list of tidbits:

They will renovate the space, including a new raw bar (oysters are big deal at Jacqueline).
Also, look for changes in the tasting menu and a new seafood tower.
Former Langbaan manager Jonathan Staehr will join the team.
The building was purchased by Arrow Kruse (The Woodsman Tavern) and Peter Bro (Broder).
- They approached Jacqueline with the offer to move.
The current space may become Fair Weather (“currently in hibernation”) v.2 (Brunch! Portlanders luv brunch.)
The portrait of Steve Zissou will travel to the new location.

If I am able to connect with the folks at Jacqueline, I’ll definitely pass on any new information I learn. Jacqueline is a much beloved restaurant among Portlanders and have garnered many the accolade. Wishing them only the best as they transition to the new location.
