Chaval

Chaval is a Spanish and French-inspired brasserie in Portland's West End, serving seasonal dishes built on local and regional Maine ingredients. The menu changes often with the season and the market, and the restaurant pairs its plates with wine, craft cocktails and a Spanish-inspired happy hour, Vermouth Hour, Monday through Saturday. Pastry chef and co-owner Ilma Lopez makes custom cakes for birthdays, anniversaries and other celebrations.

Reservations can be booked online through Resy or by phone at the restaurant. Takeout is available through online pickup ordering when the kitchen is accepting orders, and gift cards can be bought online and delivered digitally. The private dining room and patio host rehearsal dinners, celebrations and full restaurant buyouts. Chaval is at 58 Pine Street in Portland's West End, and it is open for dinner most evenings, with the first seating at 4:30 PM.
