Belly Timber has closed its doors. Considered one of the best brunch spots in town, the following was posted on Belly Timber's site by its owners, Tara George and Michele Stults, on Saturday, May 22:

Belly Timber served it's last meal May 16, 2010. There are many reasons we closed the restaurant, the primary reason being we as owners were stretched too thin between two restaurants. While the closing of Belly Timber is very sad it is also an exciting opportunity to focus all of our energy on our other restaurant, Equinox, to make it even more successful. We have brought our entire Belly Timber staff, including chef Paul Hyman, over to Equinox and will be starting a new lunch program this week in the hot Mississippi district in north Portland. Paul will also be revamping our dinner and happy hour menus at Equinox over the course of the next three weeks. We want to thank all of our loyal patrons and media who have supported us over the two years and invite you to join us at Equinox as we introduce Paul's cooking to North Portland's food scene.
