Armadapdx, the pop up series that focus on a specific ingredient for each meal, is setting sail for Cup & Bar this Saturday for a ‘coffea & cacao’ dinner. Cup & Bar is home to Trailhead Coffee and Ranger Chocolate (hence the dinner theme) and Armada will be taking over the spacious café space. Co-chefs Kristin Arychuk and Megan Denton are have put together an intriguing menu, including a chilled blue Guatemalan squash soup shooter with cocao hulls and chocolate and beet cured lox. The five-course dinner includes a welcoming cocktail and two paired wines from Tartan Cellars. With a reasonable $50-a-head tax, it looks like being one of the more interesting dinners this weekend.

Cup & Bar, 118 NE MLK, August 29, 7pm, tickets available here
