The location remains undisclosed, but Viande partner Jason Owens told the Mercury that construction would begin this week on a building, owned by Viande, on East Burnside. Rumor is that you may hear some swinging hammers at the old Laurelhurst Market building.

Portland police raided Ibiza, a tapas restaurant and club in Old Town, on the morning of January 9 in connection with an ongoing investigation into alleged fraudulent bank transactions.
