Pambiche Cocina and Repostería Cubana, or simply Pambiche, is a Cuban restaurant located in northeast Portland, Oregon.
Description
Pambiche is housed in "a funky turn of the century Victorian building", located at 2811 Northeast Glisan Street in Portland's Kerns neighborhood. The restaurant is owned by chef and musician John Maribona, a first-generation Cuban American, and serves traditional Cuban cuisine using recipes from Maribona's family. It features outside seating and offers happy hour during select hours. The menu includes empanadas, pork roast, prawns, tostones, and several vegetarian options. Select plates include roasted corn and chicken, smoked ham in béchamel sauce, a Cuban creole fish sandwich with red snapper, and Valencia saffron rice and chicken. Its brunch menu includes plates with beans, eggs, rice and a choice of protein.
History
Pambiche installed ornate bicycle racks with a "decidedly Caribbean feel" in 2011. In 2015, Maribona expressed approval of President Barack Obama's announcement to normalize relations with Cuba after more than fifty years. He shared his hope that Pambiche would be able to have Cuban-made products such as chocolate.
