Culinary all-star Gregory Gourdet, a “Top Chef” finalist and judge, recently won a James Beard Award for his cookbook, “Everyone’s Table.” He also opened Kann (548 SE Ash St.), his first solo restaurant, which pairs Haitian cuisine with Pacific Northwest bounty. Since opening in 2022, Kann has won the James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant and has made the New York Times list of best restaurants in the country. Sousòl, the pan-Caribbean bar below the restaurant, is also celebrated. Gabriel Rucker’s Le Pigeon (738 E. Burnside St.) and its little sister, Canard (734 E. Burnside St.), continue to sweep best- restaurant lists, as well as Lauro Romero’s inspiring ode to modern Mexican plates, República (100 NW 10th Ave.), where you can add a wine pairing that features Mexican and female producers to complement your tasting menu.
