Continuing our attempt to visit restaurants in Portland that are NOT IKEA we decided to visit Jáce Gáce this morning. We were lured by an ad in the Mercury (the source of all fun in Portland) promising Art, Waffles, Beer. How could it go wrong?
Honestly that is an genius combination. You get the fun of beer, the attempt at cultural broadening with art, and warm nutritious waffles. The cultural broadening was particularly important for us as Saturday was spent ENTIRELY in bed watching two seasons of The Office on Netflix.
The inside of the restaurant was going for a minimalist feel with white sparse walls, a flame retardant mylar ceiling, bundles of sticks, and black metal patio furniture. It makes sense as it also a gallery but waffles are difficult to enjoy when your butt is cold.
I had the Three Bites $8.00 - waffle covered in honey and walnuts, served with prosciutto, apples, and Brie on the the side. It was delicious and filled my waffle craving needs. The presentation was clean and crisp though don't come to Jáce Gáce with a huge appetite. Though filling by the rest of the world's standards it is just one waffle and my American Super Size stomach had a hard time grasping the idea of correct portions.
Matt had th Piña Colada $7.00- waffle covered with bananas,fresh pineapple, brown sugar and topped with coconut whip cream. Matt's verdict: waffle = delicious.
Count us in as repeat brunchers.
