What is Between Courses?

Between Courses

Notes from the kitchen, the bar, and everything in between.

Between Courses is how we’d like to stay in conversation with those who’ve joined us at the table and those who haven’t yet. It’s a monthly rhythm of reflections, recipes, and updates from the world of PORT. Some entries are drawn from the rush and pause of service; others are notes on ingredients, memory, or the texture of a moment.

Expect essays from the head chef, drinks from the bar, recipes from our kitchen, and glimpses of what’s unfolding behind the scenes: just a way to share what we’re thinking, cooking, and learning, one course at a time.

Service Notes
Essay from the Head Chef

Reflections from the kitchen, one course at a time.
In each note, our head chef shares a slice of thought—on flavour, memory, craft, and the rituals that shape the plate. Sometimes it’s about technique. Sometimes it’s about toast. Always, it’s about the in-between.

Second Helping
Recipes from the Kitchen

A collection of recipes meant to be shared and enjoyed.
These are dishes from the PORT kitchen—some served at dinner, others made for slow mornings. Each comes with context and cues, not rules. Cook as you are.

Bitters & Truths
Recipes from the Bar

What we’re pouring, mixing, and sipping right now.
Part drink manual, part storybook—this is where our cocktails live. Expect a little structure, a few secrets, and the occasional strong opinion.
