Description
editThe lunch counter Evoe operated next to the speciality grocery store Pastaworks on Hawthorne Boulevard.[5][7] Matt Rodbard of Food Republic described Evoe as a "quirky room of stools and hyperseasonal worship".[8] The counter served small plates[9] such as sandwiches and Mediterranean salads.[10] Among sandwiches was the Gallego, which had sardines and fennel.[11] The Bob the Burner was an open sandwich with coppa, Calabrese salami, Calabrian chiles, and mozzarella, and the Dansk had cured salmon, horseradish, and dill.[10] The Little Bo Peep had lamb meatballs on ciabatta.[12] One of the salads had squash, balsamic vinegar, and pumpkin seeds.[13] Evoe also served a Sauvie Island beet salad.[14]
History
editEvoe opened in 2008 and closed in 2014,[9] after Gibson departed in November 2013.[15] Nodoguro began operating in the space.[16][17] Gibson carried some of Evoe's dishes over to Davenport.[18]
Reception
editIn 2013, Eater Portland's Erin DeJesus called Evoe "beloved" and included the Gallego in a list of the city's "most iconic" sandwiches.[19][20]
