on Citysearch Nov 15, 2008We walked in to Bijou, dressed in Sunday clothes, on a Sunday at noon, and there were about four people waiting in the foyer. It looked moderately busy. Three staff completely ignored me, so I politely asked a server... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 08, 2008being one of the highest rated breakfast joints in Portland I expected this place to be out of this world but it was far below my expectations. For a Sunday morning the wait was fine, about 15-20 minutes for a table for 3.... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 27, 2008Bijou Cafe has wonderful breakfast items. It is a very down home feel when you are there. The coffee is fresh and the food very good. A real Portland feel to the place. (more)

on Citysearch Apr 01, 2008Ok, it was Saturday morning, therefore the place was pretty busy, but the service wasn't very friendly, and my husband's Illy capuccino was way too bitter. My decaf coffee was surprisingly good, and the food was all... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 25, 2008A friend treated me to bijou, cafe which was a definite plus because the prices seem pretty astronomical for what they're serving. However, I had one of the scrambles and it was really delicious. My only complaint is... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 14, 2007After seeing the lines at Mother's, we took a walk down the street and ran into Bijou. I'd heard about good things about it from a couple of people, and thought it might be a good substitute. There's a reason why one place... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 10, 2007Good Oyster Hash. You might like the oysters at the beach, but they kind of leave them out a little. Think it's a problem? Don't eat there then -- too expensive for the likes of you.... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 20, 2006I've had a wonderful 30+ year experience with the Bijou Cafe. Their regular menu and innovative new offerings have always been dependably good, the coffee's always fresh and I've never wanted for better service. I... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 21, 2006Boy, they really like their potatoes here. I got potatoes as a side dish and in my omelet. Strange item to put in an omelet (I know they're usually found in fritattas, but not omelets). Otherwise, the food was just... (more)
