Gregory Gourdet’s long-anticipated Haitian restaurant has finally opened, and it has exceeded its already high expectations. Diners walk under a row of pothos plants before sitting down at round white tables, drinking cocktails covered in edible flowers. Any meal at Kann should start with butterfish, which arrives accompanied by watermelon granita, layered with heat and the tiniest hint of smoke. A shockingly savory berry salad with young coconut and tomatoes precedes a whole branzino, hiding a layer of tender and potently flavorful stewed vegetables. But it’s the peanut creamed greens, earthy and slightly sweet with mounting heat, that are perhaps the hardest to forget. Kann is just one of the restaurants on the latest update to the Eater Portland Heatmap — available via the bio link. 📸: @feastmeatswest
