13 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Portland

“Delicious and different! Staff was super nice! I would definitely recommend and visit again!“

“Amazing farm to table food and drinks. We stopped by downtown Portland on our way out of town from a corporate retreat. Came in and sat at the bar, Cameron provided first class service, was incredible knowledgeable and attentive. Guided us through the menu and ensured we had a 5 star experience.“

“A small laid back, casual oyster forward seafood joint in the Old Port area of Portland, ME. I was dining alone and a friend recommended this place which turned out to be perfect. I got a window seat ordered a half dozen oysters after consulting the waiter for recommendations and an excellent dirty-dirty gin martini with gin, vermouth, oyster brine and some hot spice. It was the perfect accompaniment to the variety of raw oysters served with your choice of condiments - I went with horseradish ice. I wanted to follow with a softshell crab sandwich but they were out so I went with the fried oysters which ended up being like a small salad with a few fried oysters on top. Total bill $$64. Hit the spot without being very filling. I think this place would make and excellent first stop for an evening of bar hopping around the Old Port. Highly recommended if want to sample a range of raw oysters - $18 for half a dozen.“

“What a fantastic experience. Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere and attentive staff. We had a fantastic anniversary experience and honestly can't wait to go back for more.“

Extremely professional, nice and polite . I don’t remember when I had such amazing service last time If you go for dinner please ask for Leah ! You won’t regret ! She rocks !!“

“The food looks delicious and that’s why we came here. However, when we arrived around 1:05 pm, the lady at the entrance was very rudy and told us we couldn’t dine in without being in the waiting list. It’s not what she said, it’s the way she said it.-Restaurant reached out to me in the nicest way and apologized for the situation about the host. I will be giving them a try soon as the food looks fantastic. Looking forward to it.“

“The good was amazing! Lots of different flavors and options for meat eaters such as my husband, and vegetarian such as myself. I have some allergies to spices and they were very careful to check ingredients and make recommendations to assure that I had safe food. The sweet potato hummus sandwich and tuna wrap were fantastic, and my toddler loved the burger and fries!We will definitely be back next time we visit Portland!Vegetarian options: The roasted sweet potato hummus sandwich was amazing, and there were a few different delicious-sounding salads we did not try today. There is also an impossible burger that was very good.Dietary restrictions: They have a great selection of food for both meat eaters and vegetarians“

“This place is an absolute must go to restaurant in Portland. The atmosphere is very cozy, at least in the space and the lighting, but super hip. They play lots of dancey, fun music, which wasn’t deafening or obnoxious but just added to the great vibe.They have lots of great options, all smaller plates which makes it so much fun to share with whoever you’re with. We got the garlic edamame, bacon mochi, the cabbage pancake (I forget the official name, forgive me), and the udon. Every bite was perfect, and the service was awesome.We sat at the bar, and the bartender was super attentive despite being busy. The cocktail menu is also fantastic! Definitely worth trying at *least* one.“

“My girlfriend and I had a wonderful dinner on 2-15. We sat at the end of the sushi bar- it was a little tight when it got busy, but it’s definitely the best sushi place we’ve been to. Our server Chad was awesome and made us feel very welcome. I told a few friends and decided to write a review“

“We were all pleasantly surprised by the quality and delightful flavors of the food at Pai Men Miyake. The pork steamed buns were an absolute treat and they make me want to try the other options. The beef short rib, tantanmen, and chicken and pork ramens were all fantastic with tender meat that fell apart. The spice levels of all bowls were delicious. If you are craving fantastic ramen, this is the place for you!“

“Wonderful service and excellent food!“

“We had dinner reservations before a show at the Merrill. Traffic suggested we would be late. I called to let them know and the woman on the phone, perhaps a recent immigrant, couldn’t have been kinder or more reassuring! We arrived to find the dining room was being refurbished and the lobby had been transformed into the dining area. An additional distance from the kitchen, the wait staff was HUSTLING! It was wonderful to observe their camaraderie and assisting each other during the pre-show rush. Our server, Hannah, could not have been kinder or more accommodating! The food was wonderful in its presentation and even better in its taste. My husband had the seafood (Cod) special and I enjoyed the scallops! Everything about the experience was perfect!“

“Best dinner ever! The delicacy of the food here is beyond compare, delicious and meticulously prepared, from the complimentary bread to the dessert, every bite we took of the food was amazing! My husband, my two boys and I were impressed of how tasty everything was and we loved the atmosphere. We went on a cold February night during their school winter break and this was the highlight of our vacation! Highly recommended this place, food is definitely worth the money and a nice area to walk around after your palates have been taken for a delicious adventure!Parking: There is a parking garage lot right behind the restaurant adjacent to the Hotel by the Warf.Kid-friendliness: We brought our 11 and 13 yr old boys and we also saw younger kids there, they offered small plates for the kids if needed.“
