50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Portland

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

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

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

“Yes, yes and YES! From the corn bread, the spicy beef salad, whitefish beignet (special), kimchi and suckling pig, up to the key lime tart, everything was spot on. The small plates were staged well, (thank you Lauren B) and paired wonderfully so flavors didn’t compete. Cocktails were “Death Becomes Her” and “Unleash the Lion”, unique, well balanced and interesting. Thank you for warming us up on a cold Monday night. Apologies, but too busy enjoying the food and company to retrieve my phone for pics. Unplugged dinners are much better.“

“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 !!“

“Absolutely LOVED Gelato Fiasco. I specifically love this one in downtown Old Port because of the cute little shops near it. You can eat your yummy gelato while walking and going to the little stores and stuff. It's a good date/hang-out idea.

There are a lot of flavors offered by Gelato Fiasco and every time I've gone, the workers are always so nice, despite the busy environment they work in. There's always people in the store, but they move fast and offer good service. The seating inside is small, but there's also a ton of outdoor sitting area by the store and just around the corner (literally everywhere).“

“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 !“

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

“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“

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

“We absolutely loved our dinner at Knotted Apron. The food was so delicious & inventive but more importantly the service was impeccable and made me feel like I was at home! ❤️ We will absolutely be back soon!“

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

“Meilleur oatmeal EVER parfait petit café🤘🏼“

“Great food and friendly service! Love this place“

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

“The best authentic Vietnamese food you can find. Can never get enough of the egg rolls 🤤“

“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.“

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

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

“my boyfriend and I are visiting from boston for new years and chose this as our NYE dinner spot, and it did not disappoint! I honestly wasn’t expecting much out of this place, but my expectations were surpassed. the vibe was really nice with all of the mood lighting, the staff was super friendly, and the food was delicious (& i’m not even huge on seafood). we got the carne asada fries, chipotle chicken, and fish tacos - all of which were so good. only gripe is that I reserved a “lounge” table and was seated at a tiny high top. other than that it was a great experience“

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

“Absolutely amazing flavors! Great staff. Had a vegetarian sampler plate (had all our favorites) and a lamb gyro pizza (never had one before...never heard of one).....a new favorite! Skip the seafood and try the Olive Cafe!“

“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!!“

“First visit to Maine and we chose Bayside randomly. The vibe and atmosphere is very relaxed and calm which I love. We both had the house coffee and lobster roll for lunch, and it was delicious. Never had a lobster roll before and I'm very glad Bayside was my first time having it! The menu is varied so everyone can find something they like, but I absolutely recommend the lobster roll. Our waiter was very friendly and informative (I believe his name was Niko). He gave us recommendations on cool things to see and shops to check out. Even is December Maine is full of life! I love Bayside and we will definitely be visiting again!“

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

“I ordered a carrot cake from Norimoto Bakery for my birthday, and it was absolutely incredible! The flavor was perfectly balanced, just the right amount of sweetness and it was moist and light. The frosting was also so light and delicious, it complemented the cake beautifully instead of overpowering it. You can really taste the care and exceptional baking skill in every bite. Thank you, Norimoto, for making my birthday extra special! Also just look at how beautifully the cake was decorated with flowers. Highly recommend to anyone who loves truly amazing baked goods.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Fantastic ramen and poke bowls.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“BEST sandwich EVER💯💯💯💯💯/10“

“Uncharted has a few huge features over other boba places that make it our family’s go-to location in the area. First, it makes its drinks from real tea (not powder!) so you can order it less/not sweet. Second, they make a homemade lavender reduction that is the best. Finally, their teas are delicious! Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Every dish was fantastic!“

“LB Kitchen has an incredible selection of healthy things, including delicious breakfast items and excellent coffee.“

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

“Food was really amazing, as a sushi lovers it was up to my expectations. Keep rocking 🍱🥢🍣“

“10/10 recommend. The drunken noodles were amazing! And the service made the experience 10 times better. S/o our server Matthew, for being so attentive and kind!“

“If you haven’t had the Boone’s fish house oyster room experience your missing out on some delicious food, great cocktails and fabulous beer choices. The atmosphere is such a great vibe with ocean views from their decks in the warmer weather to dine on, they have two bars to choose from I love the second floor one a nice open space with plenty of room to sit and have a drink and good conversation without the back ground noise from other tables. They have a beautiful setting to host your events with friendly knowledgeable staff to make it a personal experience for your needs.“

“Delicious! Friendly authentic“

“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 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!❤“

“Avocado Toast, hash browns, yummy pastries“
