Negociant

Negotiant + Cinema 21 is a perfect duo. Although Ive also whiled away a wonderful hour or two here my myself, with cheese, charcuterie, wine, and a good book.

This is THE place to go for your summer wine/charcuterie. Everyone was so helpful! Every employee has their niche and helped me from meat to cheese to wine.

Rude and derogatory staff, take your money elsewhere like Arden, because this isnt it. Your food as well.

Weve been here multiple times but only for cheese, charcuterie, and wine shopping, not dining (yet!). Its one of our favorite spots for cheese ever, and weve tried plenty in Oregon, California, and Texas. The cheese and meat selection is truly great, and cheese specifically seems to rotate often. What a great variety of cheese with crystals; our favorite type! Have I seen wider selections? Yes. Do I mind? No. Whats even better, is the staff helping with recommendations and tasting. Shout out to Isaac (I hope I got that right?!)! His cheerful demeanor and passion for his job definitely makes us buy more stuff than we need - ok, maybe my constant cheese craving is at fault, too. We also love how we can refer back to our past purchases and remind ourselves what we had bought previously. Ambiance and interior design are well done. Generally many more options for bites, wine, dessert, tinned fish etc etc if youre not into cheese and meat. Bonus: I shouldnt be sharing this but Yuzu marmalade.

As soon as we sat down, I told my girlfriend that I had to write a great review for this comfortable, charming, well-staffed bistro on 21st Avenue. I had a muscadet to go with my salad nioise, and girlfriend had ra os to go with her beet salad. The two wines, chosen from the by-the-glass list, were perfect; the salads, authentic and delicious. Wait staff was attentive. Air-conditioning just right. We felt as if we were at a sidewalk in Southern France, and congratulated ourselves for coming upon this delightful Portland eaterie.
