Thistle Details PleaseOpen 4–8:30PM everyday but Sunday and MondayWhat Our Friends Are SayingConde Nast Traveler: "Amid the slightly more formal (and somewhat predictable) restaurants lining McMinnville's quaint Third Street, Thistle's casual, almost thrift-store-like elegance feels refreshing. Enter through the cozy, casual bar, which features a jumble of bottles on the back wall, a simple chalkboard scrawled with the day's menu, and young wine-industry workers huddled over candlelit zinc-topped tables, sipping craft cocktails from antique coupes. Perch on one of the skinny metal stools, tell bartender-legend Patrick Bruce a few of your likes and dislikes, then let him do his magic. When you're ready to eat, wander to the small dining room, unapologetically unadorned save for the bold black-and-white wallpaper sporting (fittingly) graphic prints of giant thistles. Owner Emily Howard, a quiet soul with a knack for hospitality, will get you settled."Eater: "A meal at Thistle feels like a secret pop-up in an impossibly cool Airbnb filled with curated vintage pieces. This tiny, 12 year old restaurant in downtown McMinnville leans hard into Willamette Valley farm-to-table food with French technique."

Oregon’s abundance of natural ingredients really shine at Thistle, where the menu changes daily, but the freshness of the food stays the same. Unlike the other fancier restaurants lining downtown McMinnville, Thistle is unpretentious and easygoing, and if you don’t do the omakase-style cocktails, you’re making a big mistake.
