Kann is a live-fire dinner house from celebrated chef, best-selling author, and television personality Gregory Gourdet that marries Haitian cuisine with the bounty of the Pacific Northwest. Kann’s menu showcases traditional Haitian flavors alongside dishes inspired by the cuisines of the African and Caribbean diaspora. Opened August 2022, Kann is Portland’s first and one of the nation’s few Haitian-inspired dining experiences. Kann has been recognized as one of the best new restaurants in Portland and beyond, including being named the “Best New Restaurant” in the 2023 James Beard Foundation Awards.

Haitian-Creole for “Basement,” Sousòl is a subterranean, pan-Caribbean bar from James Beard Foundation award-winning chef Gregory Gourdet. Situated underneath Kann, Sousòl is driven by a vision to share, celebrate, and foster an appreciation of pan-Caribbean flavors, methods, and ingredients with grace and culture. Sousòl serves drinks and dishes inspired by the cuisines of Haiti, Cuba, The Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Mexico and more, along with the influences of those who migrated to those countries. Sousòl offers an inclusive imbibing and dining experience for all guests - including those who opt not to drink alcohol for any reason. Chef Gregory Gourdet, who identifies as sober himself, set out to develop thoughtful Zero-Proof and Non-Alcoholic drinks with just as much intention as our full-spirit offerings.
