Kann.

Restaurant Kann in Portland showcases vibrant Haitian cuisine with a focus on wood-fire cooking, featuring an impressive eight-foot-long hearth. The menu is entirely gluten and dairy free, catering to various dietary needs, with vegan options available on request. Diners can enjoy a family-style service, making the meal interactive, although sharing may be tricky for larger groups. The lively and warmly designed space is alive with energy but can be quite loud. Kann emphasizes inclusivity and sustainability, supporting local producers and celebrating diverse communities, which is reflected in its seasonally inspired dishes. Renowned chef Gregory Gourdet's offerings, like grilled salmon and coffee-rubbed ribeye, exemplify culinary creativity, earning the restaurant multiple awards, including "Best New Restaurant" by the James Beard Foundation.
