Description

Câche Câche (French for "hide-and-seek" and pronounced "cash cash")[1] was a seafood restaurant in southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood. The 800-square foot space had a seating capacity of 20 people.[2] It shared a patio with the Lil' America food cart pod.[3] The menu included lobster rolls, a sardine toast, hamachi,[4] and raw oysters. Orders were submitted using QR codes and picked up at a counter. The business did not have a phone number or website.[5]

History

John Denison was the chef. He was previously a chef at St. Jack, and Câche Câche was his first solo project.[6] The restaurant opened on May 16, 2023,[7] and closed in June 2024. A post on social media read: "We had a great year serving you all but John has many more ideas up his sleeve and will be pursuing those both in Portland and abroad. All of us will be looking forward to following your next adventures as you prepare for your journey to France."[8]
