About Imperial
Imperial is located in the historic Hotel Lucia and offers chef-owner Vitaly Paley’s renowned cooking, which helped him earn Portland Monthly’s 2012 Chef of the Year. Chef Paley also received the 2005 James Beard Foundation Best Chef Pacific Northwest award, nominated as a 2012 James Beard Foundation Semifinalist for Outstanding Chef, was a recent victor on Food Network’s popular series Iron Chef America where he was paired with Imperial Executive Chef Ben Bettinger. Paley, considered the Dean of Portland Chefs for many years, rediscovers Pacific Northwest culinary pathways and follows the footsteps of Oregon’s own James Beard. At Imperial, Chef Paley explores menu ideas that have historic significance and uses cooking methods and ingredients from Oregon’s diverse bounty. The most prominent feature of Imperial’s kitchen is the impressive wood fire grill and rotisserie that incorporates use of native hard and fruitwoods. Imperial concentrates on healthy and uncomplicated preparations, serving the community by remembering its past and proving a warm, welcoming and generous place to eat. All this led to Portland Monthly pinpointing five intrigues at Imperial, focusing on the now-infamous wallpaper, eating nooks, an ambitious menu with Executive Chef Bettinger, Pastry Chef Michelle Vernier’s spectacular desserts and the Paley Philosophy: “We can’t know who we are if we don’t look at our past.” Web: www.imperialpdx.com | Phone: 503-228-7222 | Location: 410 SW Broadway, Portland, Oregon 97205
