Restaurant Eugene debuts new menu
March 23rd, 2009 by Cliff Bostock in Restaurants
We checked out the new menu at Restaurant Eugene last night and had a 2.5-hour, spectacular meal of small-to-medium plates, including this one of duck breast with a bread sauce over creamed English peas. Altogether, we sampled 10 plates and could barely move afterward.
It’s kind of a hybrid of Holeman and Finch’s free-wheeling style and Restaurant Eugene’s elegance. The farm-to-table cooking still prevails.
The restaurant offers a five-course tasting menu for $55 but we ordered five dishes each for somewhat less than that. Of course, the tasting menu may include some more expensive dishes. In any case, the portions are not stingy and the average diner can eat quite well here without spending a zillion dollars. You certainly don’t need five plates.
More in my next Grazing column.

Went to H&F last Wednesday and Greg and CO. showed us a preview of the menu. It looked great. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for the update.
