portland's la moule is a 70’s-themed euro bar that serves excellent food including frites and mussels. the local pencove mussels were flawlessly fresh and perfectly prepared, the frites were every bit as good as the ones at st. jacks, and the beer was divine.
la moule comes pretty close to a platonic form in terms of the food, beer, and experience it seeks to provide. can’t ask for much more than that except maybe an occasional eel dish every now and then, please. we highly recommend that you check it out.
