PORTLAND, ORE. (May 15, 2009) – CAPERS CAFÉ CHRISTENS WINE BAR, CELEBRATES EXPANSION

Capers Café, a popular eatery at Portland International Airport, is celebrating a recent remodel and transformation of its airport restaurant.

The expansion includes a handsome new wine bar, tables and chairs for newly added sit-down service, and terrazzo flooring. The wine bar offers some 22 wines by the glass and about 30 by the bottle, with labels from Oregon, Washington, California, France, Argentina, Chile, Italy and Spain. Travelers can purchase corked bottles of wine to take on the airplane or to mail. The restaurant menu still includes a wide array of soups, salads, sandwiches, pastas, quiches, pizza, pastries and more.

Christian and Annette Joly own the restaurant, as well as two other restaurants in Portland. Christian Joly said, “We’re offering the same counter service as before, but now our customers also have the option of being seated at a table, making their choices from a menu, and then just sitting back, relaxing and enjoying our first class service.”

Chris Madsen, general manager of business and properties with the Port of Portland, said, “We congratulate Capers on their wonderful new look and enhanced service for travelers. It’s a great sign that this business is expanding. And we love it that Capers is locally born and bred. Its Portland flavor contributes to the airport’s unique Northwest personality – it’s what so many customers tell us they love about PDX.”
