Established on April 14, 1932, the restaurant was "an immediate success, offering an extensive, European-influenced menu that changed every day". According to theOregon Encyclopedia, "Henry Thiele's was especially noted for its salmon dishes, lentils and wurst, Princess Charlotte pudding, and an enormous and puffy egg-and-lemon-and-powdered-sugar dish known as a German pancake or Dutch baby (served on a turkey platter)."[4]Eater Portland has called the restaurant a "landmark for continental cuisine", serving German pancakes, buttered noodles with beef tips until the 1990s.[5] The business operated in a white stucco building with a red tile roof.[6]
The restaurant was sold in 1990[7][8] and demolished in 1992. The shopping center Thiele Square,[9] built in 1995,[1] has a commemorative plaque.[10]
