Fueled by smoked meats, live-fire cooking with Haitian accents, and a former Top Chef contestant in the kitchen, Kann is by far the biggest Portland opening of 2022. It’s tough to get a reservation, but the small space often, filled with a jungle’s worth of greenery, feels like a party. Bring a few friends and start with fruity cocktails and salt cod pate, followed by a large sharable dish from the hearth like the coffee-rubbed smoked beef ribs, served with charred green beans and Haitian creole hot sauce.
