La Moule

(Thomas Teal/WW)

What started as a simple moules-frites joint and cozy cocktail bar has expanded its offerings to match wits with St. Jack, La Moule's upscale westside sibling. Split some mussels ($21) and a killer bacon-brie burger ($15) and close out dinner with a cinnamon-sugar-dredged "churro" waffle ($7) with dulce de leche squiggled on top.

GO: 2500 SE Clinton St., 971-339-2822, lamoulepdx.com, 5 pm-midnight Monday-Friday, 10 am-2 pm and 5 pm-midnight Saturday-Sunday
