ABOUT ROUX

Roux is for the food & drink obsessed. The restaurant-goer and cocktail enthusiast. It’s for the home cook and the culinary curious. Every October in Portland OR, Roux Week celebrates food, drink and culture with a citywide festival featuring pop-up dinners, chef collabs, culinary games, panels, brunch and hands-on experiences. It redefines itself year over year bringing you something new, inclusive and wildly fun. 

Be sure to follow along as Roux shows up throughout the year with more pop-up events in Portland and other cities!

“Roux was an absolutely nourishing experience on every level. I've been seeing more and more events center womxn and purport to build community among us. But I've seen very few manage to generate the kind of magic that Roux did.”

-Briaan Barron, Creative Director

Roux’s mission is to create the ultimate food & drink week by creating a platform for women in Portland's culinary scene and elevate women-owned businesses. Proudly benefiting nonprofit partner, Xcelerate Women.
