So we drove off deeper into Southeast Portland to what looked like a house. Instead of having dessert at the restaurants, our friends told us that they had another surprise place they’d like to take us to. Le Bistro Montage does keep things old school with your leftovers, providing foil sculptures for you to take home your food. I only ate half before I started feeling sick, way too much heavy cream!
As for the macaroni, it was pretty bland and way too heavy.
I chose to have mine with gator, and unlike the Gator Bites, the gator in this dish was, I hate to say it, like eating fishy chicken. This macaroni dish was coated in basil pesto, heavy cream, and parmesan. I’m not much for spicy, so I went with the Green Basil Mac. The wife got her with gator, while my buddy chose to get his with Spam. The SPLOD is a combination of the Spicy and Old, so it’s macaroni coated in a heavy cream + garlic reduction and a Cajun gravy + jalapeño, topped with parmesan. The rest of us ordered Le Bistro Montage’s macaroni dishes. The jambalaya was very tasty, but boy was it spicy! Myself, my friend, and I all ordered something similar, but one of our friends ordered something different for her entree, the Jambalaya. There wasn’t a ton of flavor in the meat itself, but it did have a nice, firm, slightly chewy texture. First time trying gator, and it was nothing all that different really. These tasty little morsels were Cajun-seared alligator tail with cocktail sauce, horseradish cream, lemon, and honey wheat bread. The appetizer I did like, though, was the Gator Bites. It was ok, not my favorite thing, but not terrible either. These savory, deep-fried corn battered morsels contained a mixture of peppers, onions, and crawfish, and was served with garlic aioli and remoulade. To start, we decided to place an order for two appetizers. The food is decidedly creole, a first for us, and fulfilled my request for all dining experiences to be uniquely Portland/PNW and not something we could get at home. Service is average, being just attentive enough, thought not all that friendly. Located in Southeast Portland under and underpass, Le Bistro Montage is kind of a divey restaurant, but with white table cloth lined tables. The wife and I almost through we were being shanghaied because we they were driving erratically around some seedy looking areas! But eventually we arrived at Le Bistro Montage and Pix Patisserie, for dessert of course. They didn’t tell us where they were taking us, said it was a surprise. The following are the 20 most famous uses of The Rolling Stones' songs in film.Our last night in Portland meant one, final meal with our friends. The band, itself, has had several incarnations, from the Brian Jones era, to the brief but important presence of guitarist Mick Taylor, whose solo on "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" has been prominently featured in several films. They are also still used in key scenes in films, not only for longtime fan and Stones documentarian Martin Scorsese, but a younger generation of directors who still utilize the Stones' gravely guitars and the impassioned vocal stylings of Mick Jagger. The Stones are still touring to this day, albeit minus deceased members Brian Jones, Bobby Keys and Charlie Watts. The band, in that way, has become intertwined in American identity in a way no other band from across the pond has. Interestingly, the Stones seem to have more relevance to American film than any band from the States. No other band can say they were as integral to film soundtracks as the Stones - even the Beatles (who were notoriously fickle with their licensing). The band has had songs appear in films in each of the last seven decades. The Rolling Stones have been, since the British Invasion, one of the most heavily-featured rock bands in movies, creating a relationship with the entirety of American film in the second half of the 20th Century - and to this day.
