WØLF
Day 1: 5-Course Palate-Bending Pleasures Tasting Series
Portland is a city full of delightful surprises, so in a way, it feels perfectly fitting to discover a specially crafted tasting menu eatery, tucked inside a former macaroni factory turned photo studio turned supper club called WØLF. A pop-up experience begun just this past April, this buzzy dining experience honors the tradition of Northwest-inspired cuisine, a mission that has catapulted it onto Resy’s List of “Top Restaurants in Portland Right Now.” Chef Ryley Eckersley, previously of celebrated ANIKS, Quaintrelle, and DOC, was born in London, and has been working in restaurants around the globe since the age of 13. He often decamped to his family’s vacation home in the south of France, where he would commune with chefs at many of the village restaurants, absorbing all he could about working with of-the-moment ingredients in postage-stamp sized kitchens. It's an eclectic CV leading to an ingeniously imaginative array of dishes at WØLF, from a carrot salad with sunflower purée, hazelnut chili crisp, cherries, and nasturtium, to wagyu and caviar with yolk and sunchoke ice cream, to a passionfruit & white chocolate dessert with grapefruit sorbet, white chocolate ganache, grapefruit gel, candied citrus peel, and a smattering of churros. We're eager to get a seat at this chef's table, and hope we'll see you there!
About the Host:
Ryley Eckersley
Chef/Owner
Born in London, Chef Ryley Eckersley has been working in restaurants around the globe since the age of 13, often decamping to his family’s vacation home in the south of France to commune with chefs at many of the village restaurants. After landing in Oregon in 2011, where he has led the kitchen at Jen’s Garden in Sisters and later opened Drake in Bend, he became interested in exploring more of the Pacific Northwest’s bounty. He promptly moved to Portland in 2015, where he served as Sous Chef at Olympia Provision and Head Chef at DOC before his projects Quaintrelle, Äniks, and WØLF.
