Price: Moderate
• Creole cajun • NW Portland
The Parish is a contemporary American seafood restaurant with a specialty in Southern cuisine. The Parish is, unsurprisingly, located inside an old church. This is how The Parish came to be named, and is one of the reasons it has been so successful. The Parish's menu primarily consists of Cajun and Creole cooking. The first section of the menu is full of nothing but po'boys and includes a catfish, shrimp and oysters. Other menu sections include soup, salad, sides and mains. Main courses here are the delicious chicken & andouille jambalaya, shrimp & oyster gumbo, shrimp etouffe and the New Orleans classic Hoppin' John made with black eyed peas, white cheddar, tomato, red onion and chives.

Excellent(26)
Price: Very Expensive
• Creole cajun • SE Portland
This Cajun soul food spot located in a mini-mall on East 82nd Avenue has earned its legion of superfans. The restaurant is known for its popular seafood boils, po’boys, and fried or blackened seafood (which the restaurant will gladly smother in étouffée sauce); however, the restaurant’s crawfish étouffée —crawfish tail meat swimming in a buttery sauce of onions, peppers, celery, and garlic — is the people’s favorite.

    Always like coming home. We brought two Southern visitors to enjoy the food and the music of Reggie Houston. They loved it, right down to the beignets!

    We have been going to Acadia for years and still love it. However, we noticed some changes the other night. The Monday Night Entrees have gone up $5.00 which is understandable. What isn't though, was the salad that used to be yummy is made with bags of lettuce and lacked flavor. They do not offer bread anymore. It used to be served warm with salted butter. The choice for dessert with the dinner special is bread pudding and we used to be able to pay extra and get something else and they no longer offer that option. They still offer a great list of cocktails and their menu and service is still wonderful.

    We had a great dinner/birthday for my husband! I tried Oysters Rockefeller & Spaghetti Squash.... all were excellent! Great oysters on the half shell as well. We rolled the dice on trying something new and we all really had a great dinner experience. I would recommend The Parish, for sure!
