Malka

We’re back for our final weekend. What a wallop. If you have a reservation tonight, please do be careful on your commute. If you need to cancel your reservation, that is entirely understandable, but you’d be doing us a great kindness if you cancel on Resy as soon as possible. That gives us the chance to fill your seats with the many, many folks who were disappointed by our recent closure and those who have been eagerly waiting for a chance to have a last meal with us.

In the spirit of honesty, we’re super stressed out over here: no wine deliveries, devilish slippery, lots of food to remake, lots of sad closing feelings to harness, lots of high functioning in weird conditions to do, and so on and so on. Thank you for being gentle with us right now.

Snow is doing tons of things to people all over the city. Fun things, pretty things, brutal things, inconvenient things, dangerous things. At 46th and Division, the snow feels to me like a heavy-handed metaphor for the whole Malka experience, but I’ve had it up to here (a high place) with metaphors.

However, we love you, we’re proud of ourselves, and we’re thankful for you! Hang on and keep safe 🌬️🦥

Hi everybody, I’ve got a new pop-up to announce, and it’s going to be a beautiful one. In my life at Malka, one of greatest joys is opening the space to the talent and thoughtfulness of others in the form of pop-ups. Here comes a new voice in the house from a much loved presence in the Malka kitchen.

Julian of is such a lovely person, a joy to work with, and every plate of food I’ve tasted from his imagination is vivid and delicious to eat, equal parts refreshing and indulgent. He is a great chef who’s done pop-ups in Mexico City, and he’s hoping to let Portland know what he means by “a series of flavors worth sharing with an empty stomach and an open heart.”

Julian’s 5 course pop-up dinner is this Monday, November 21, with a 5pm and 7:30pm seating. Tickets are $85/pp with vegetarian and meat options for each course. To reserve, DM or email [email protected] with the number of people in your party and your preferred seating time.

Last thing:
I encourage you to read what he’s written on his post introducing this pop-up because it is very, very sweet ✨
