Le Bontemps Cafe & Catering

We visited Portland last week and stopped here to eat our new year black-eyed peas and let me tell you, this place is fantastic. This restaurant is family-owned and run by the sweetest woman. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like just like family, which was so refreshing. The food was incredible, let me tell you that lady put her foot up in that food, it was made with nothing but love and soul. I had the catfish platter with collard green soup and mac and cheese, and my boyfriend had the jambalaya pasta. They even packed our meals in to-go plates so we could take our leftovers with us, which was such a thoughtful touch. Portland isn’t really known for soul food, but hands down, this is the best place to find it out here. The vibe of the restaurant was comfortable and authentically “old school”. Right down to the Anita Baker playing in the background and the full on hot sauce selection. It truly felt like I was eating at my auntie’s house. I could not recommend this place more. YOU NEED TO COME HERE!!!! 10/10

10/10 first time experience. Reasonably priced (although i wish the boudin links came in sets of two). My fiance is from texas and it made his southern soul very happy! (boudin balls just weren't battered in the way of our personal preference)The atmosphere is great, makes you feel like you're at your aunties or cousins for dinner. Theres the sweetest lady that works the front. Wish i could've took a picture of the crawfish Alfredo bread but we devoured it before I got the chance!

Stopped in on a Thursday around 5pm... It was quiet, and we received excellent service. All the food was fresh and delicious, I was even able to get a green tea so all my needs were met! Will be returning for sure… I recommend everyone stop and give it a try!

Black owned. LGBTQ+ friendly. And omg the best Cajun food I've had outside of Louisiana! I had the oyster po'boy. The bread was homemade; crispy outside and pillowy soft inside. The oysters were prepared perfectly. The banana pudding was to die for. Everything my friends had was great too. Collard greens, beans and rice, crawfish etouffee, and smothered potato! For dessert we shared, warm peach cobbler with real Bluebird ice cream the owner has shipped in special. It tastes just like homemade. I can't wait to try everything else! Will go back again and again!

The moment you step into this restaurant you can tell the vibes are absolutely amazing. The staff are so sweet and so humble. The food is has such a unique taste it’s phenomenal. The taste of the food from the beginning to the end is amazing. There is something magical about this place and I feel this is only the start of their successful embarkment. They will be well known all over Portland. PS. I tried my left overs the next day and the flavors just absolutely made me miss the restaurant. I very well will be back here again. 5 star review.
