50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Portland

“Impossibly wonderful food and vibe! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Before attending an evening with Phil Rosenthal, I decided to grab a quick bite to eat at Central Provisions. I walked over from my hotel and not having a reservation, I managed to snag a solo spot at the bar downstairs. By the time I left, there was not a seat to be had so I was very appreciative that I had the opportunity to dine here.

The service was impeccable-friendly and engaging without being overbearing, and the food came out quickly.

Despite wanting to try every single item on the menu, it was just me so I had to limit my options. I finally settled on the beet salad and the bone marrow toast. Both were absolutely phenomenal and well balanced.

For dessert, I could not resist trying the caramelized zucchini cake, and I did not regret it. It was a unique dessert that was not overly sweet and presented the flavors as well.

All in all a fantastic meal and a restaurant that I would absolutely frequent if I lived in the area or the next time I visit.“

“I expected great coffee and got it, but the biscuits and scones were delicious- even better than my own homemade.“

“The best breakfast I have ever had, and I own a breakfast restaurant 😂 Super friendly staff, well worth the wait ! If you don't try the hollandaise I will question all your life decisions. Blueberry Fleur Mimosa ... 12/10! Try this spot if you're in the area, we will travel back 3 hours just for brunch !“

“Unreal experience! Our bartender, Josiah helped us pick some amazing dishes. We can’t wait to return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“One of the best dining experiences in Portland highly recommend“

“Great food and friendly service! Love this place“

“Amazing food, drinks and service, a true gem!!“

“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“

“Great food.,,and a great atmosphere!!!! Excellent waitress......very enjoyable experience‼️“

“I love the bagels, yes. But I love even more the fact that they donate bagels to Maine Meal Assistance. Thanks for giving back to the community!❤“

“This place absolutely blew me away. For starters we tried the mussels with french fries and aioli dip, pumpkin bisque, and the maple oatmeal bread with maple brown butter. Every single bite was perfection. For our entrees, the mushroom tagliatelle, and veal ragù were rich, flavorful, and beautifully plated. We topped it all off with some Walnut Block wine, pure heaven!

It was my first time in Maine, and fell in love. The food, the flavors, the ambience, everything was incredible. Watching the chefs work in the open kitchen felt like being part of a live Netflix cooking show. I’m officially obsessed.“

“A lovely side of vegie fried rice with delicata squash, radicchio, scrambled egg, mushrooms, and scallions. A delicious light, healthy meal after some Portland errands. The hot jasmine green tea is so soothing and uplifting. This places always a great choice for a quick, fresh, solid meal.“

“GF has a variety of unique and delicious flavors. Our favorites were Peanut Butter, Espresso Chip and Strawberry Balsamic, but everything we tried had bold flavors and plenty of chips, etc. We also visited the Brunswick store, which I recommend for the most flavor choices. You can't go wrong though at Gelato Fiasco!“

“We had dinner last night and it was excellent!!! Service was wonderful, drinks were perfect and the food was amazing. Highly recommend!“

“Cozy and inviting dining rooms. The food was delicious, every plate from chicory salad, bread asparagus and the entrees! All were absolutely delicious. Just as important were the staff. So so friendly and happy. You can tell they all really like working here and value every detail. Would highly recommend this place for date night!“

“This place is amazing. Very LGBTQ friendly, and wonderfully nice management.“

“Meilleur oatmeal EVER parfait petit café🤘🏼“

“My husband and I had lunch here before an appointment nearby. This restaurant had delicious food. My husband ordered the Down east Ruben, which was made with deep fried haddock with Cole slaw piled high on the bun with melted cheese. He said it was delicious! I opted for the classic BLT. Again, the sandwich was delicious. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh and ample bacon was piled on top. I watched a young man bus the tables. He was extremely thorough cleaning the tables and seating. He even washed the items on the table (salt & pepper shakers, ketchup and hot sauce bottles). This young man then set the tables for new customers. Being a bit of a clean freak, I appreciated this young man's work. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant.“

“We are from out of town and wanted to stop by here for the experience. We ordered the raspberry buckle, cinnamon bun, and hojicha? Cake. The raspberry buckle was ok..it was on the drier side. The other two pastries were tasty. I would order the hojicha? Cake again. The fruits on top of the cake were excellent 👌

We would recommend that you go early though..we went around Noon and they were pretty much out of everything.“

“Warm welcoming staff, happy regulars, creative events, top notch dedication to their draft list pouring from clean lines and glassware, passionate owners who are present and make food from scratch. A true Portland gem!“

“Every dish was fantastic!“

“Had a drink and oysters during happy hour and it was a great experience. Bartender Andy was so friendly and polite and gave some great recommendations for local spots to visit. Would definitely come regularly if I was a local.“

“My wife and I basically stumbled on this place on August 29, 2025. We did not see it on Google but decided to try it. It was great. The service was attentive, friendly, and efficient. The food was very good. The atmosphere was great. We would definitely go again!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Avocado Toast, hash browns, yummy pastries“

“One of our favorite places, nice laid back atmosphere with couches & bookcases, reasonably priced beers, and located at the entrance to Portland’s wonderful West End. They serve a great Beyond burger, as well as a black bean burger. They also have a number of other nice options including vegan cheese pizzas, chili, and chili cheese fries! Updated from previous review on 2024-06-25“

“The food was SPECTACULAR! Even the carnivores in our group enjoyed it!“

“I love this food truck. Food is always fresh and cooked perfectly. As good as any Greek truck in NYC. It’s worth it to find Lucky Lou’s for a fabulous lunch but be forewarned, it’s addictive !!“

“Everything was delicious! Owner took special care making the gluten free dishes!“

“Great tasting, healthy food. Lots of plant-based options and awesome service,“

“Best Gelato I’ve ever had! I’ve been to a few different places but none even compare. I had the Hazelnut and Sea Salt Caramel and they were mouth watering. My bf had Maine Wild Blueberry and Oreo and we almost went back for more that night! Eagerly waiting for Boston Creme to come back so I can try it!!“

“Bayside is awesome! We've been fans for years. Never had anything we didn't like. This afternoon, we tried their pumpkin french toast special and psssshhhh, you kidding me?! SO GOOD. TOO good. Their home fries are always on point and if you're an eggs benedict lover, they've got several delicious options to choose from. The staff and atmosphere are great too! Bayside for the win!“

“I dream of their roti and curry dipping sauce, and no visit is complete without the ginger tofu noodles.“

“Thank you Mandy for always being such an amazing person. We love Marcys Marcy's Diner. The food is amazing but the people make it even better.“

“Oh My God what a gem this place is! First off when you walk in it smells incredible. I had the Godmother grilled cheese. It was so good I couldn't hold a conversation......or maybe it was their margaritas!! Anyway the sandwich was unbelievable and the "secret sauce" on the side for dipping is something I didn't think I needed but ended up wanting to be buried in!“

“The food was phenomenal, very tasty, flavorful, cooked to perfection! Friendly server and chill atmosphere. Definitely a favorite!“

“Fantastic ramen and poke bowls.“

“They have bhindi and aloo gobi and other items that not all Indian places have“

“Friendly staff, great prices and the yummiest smoothies! I give 10 stars!“

“Holy cow, what an awesome find! We enjoyed everything about this place. They have a fun cocktail menu, and the food is AMAZING! Be sure to order the fried chicken, and get at least a couple of their excellent sauces!“

“I had the Peaches the Pig sandwich. Best. Sandwich. Ever. It was the type of sandwich that makes you want to dance a little after every bite. Slightly sweet, a little spicy, a whole lot of amazing. But…Good luck picking just one thing. Everything on the menu looked amazing.“

“BEST sandwich EVER💯💯💯💯💯/10“

“We wandered in today and sat at the bar. We were so impressed with both the service and the food. The bartender was cordial, friendly, and extremely attentive. We had a flatbread that was absolutely delicious and chicken, bacon ranch salad with house made ranch that was exceptional. Closer than any. We don’t have a flatbread company near our home sure wish we did.“

“Just the best 🥰 I recommend they’re made to order cannolis and raspberry linzers 😍 and the best types of people work here too, just so freaking kind!!“

“I love this place. The fiery spicy fish is the best thing ever. Thank you so so much.“

“If you are looking for some of Portland's most amazing foods come here. Today I had their special which was a softshell crab dish that was out of this world. I have never had the same thing twice at MaMi because all of the dishes look and smell and taste so amazing I want to try them all. It's truly an experience.“

“One of my favorite Boba hops in the state, if not the best. Their Matcha and Oolong Taro drinks are top tier.

The space is inviting with bright wooden floor, plenty of seating and board games to play if you feel inclined.

They serve packed mochi too if you are in the mood for a snack. To sum it up they make delicious drinks in a nice space and have plenty of space to chill.“

“We ordered a catered taco bar last week through Bird & Co. for our annual shindig and boy was it worth it! Our spread was incredible. Every item was SO delicious and packaged as cute as can be. Pat made everything so easy for us. No where in town have I received such amazing service. Bird & Co. is my new fav. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!“
