50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Portland

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

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

“Another amazing meal!! We had the kimchi seaweed salad, bluefin tuna crudo, Spanish mackerel, Maine peekytoe crab, fried cauliflower and suckling pig. Everything was so good and it was hard to pick a favorite. I'd have to go with the fried cauliflower. It had such a wonderful spicy and sweet sauce and was cleverly complimented by crunchy fried chickpeas, mint and julienned apple. When you got a bite of everything, the dish practically sang to you. Angie's favorite was the suckling pig. This dish consisted of pork confit which had then been layered into a mold and then topped with crispy pork skin. Then delicately fried again on the flat top grill. It was served with a brown butter apple puree and marcona almonds. It had all the amazing flavors you expect from a great pork roast. No dessert for either of us.“

“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 !“

“Wow the maine blueberry crisp is amazing. Delicious, crunchy crisp, incredible blueberries, just so yum. Had a bite of the double caramel and cookies and the Italian banana pudding and that was also incredible. Will have to be back to try more!!! So nice that you can do multiple flavors in any size and try as many samples as you want! A wonderful experience all around and a nice outdoor seating area to boot!“

“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“

“I don’t normally leave reviews, but I feel like Bayside warrants one. I had a very positive experience from the moment I arrived until I left. The staff were all very friendly and easy to talk to, their service was exceptional, and the food was very good. I absolutely recommend eating here and will be coming back the next time I’m in the area.“

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

“My Mom and I are in Portland on Vacation. So far EVO is defiantly a High Light! Staff was friendly and very helpful! Food was AMAZING! Absolutely a 10 out of 10!“

“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“

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

“Meilleur oatmeal EVER parfait petit café🤘🏼“

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

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

“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.“

“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 !!“

“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!“

“Great food and friendly service! Love this place“

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

“Popped in on a whim for happy hour and we were so glad we stumbled on this restaurant! I had a spicy marg and my husband had a charro negro, both were delicious and full strength! We had the perfect snacks to go with it - salsas and tostados and some fish tacos. The staff were warm and friendly. Would recommend!“

“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!“

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

“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!!“

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

“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!“

“Our family visited this bakery on our Portland vacation as we were staying in the neighborhood. It was lovely - we got a few cookies, croissants, and a chocolate cake…all delicious. The staff was helpful and patient…wish we lived closer to frequent more often!“

“Friendly place. Best blueberry pancakes in town.“

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

“Best food I ate in Portland all week (including upscale places) was the lobster bisque from Chef Ryan. Oysters were GREAT as well. Family friendly. Chef Ryan’s whole menu was top notch and the kitchen staff was so nice. Ty came up and offered to give my young kids a lobster lesson over FaceTime (was here for work). Lizzy was excellent at the bar for our group. Ashley was amazing and welcoming to our group. Couldn’t recommend more. But def order the menu items and not just the lobster!“

“Fantastic ramen and poke bowls.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious smoothies and service! Loved the Touch of Green!“

“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!!“

“BEST sandwich EVER💯💯💯💯💯/10“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Omg so good. I went there like twice a week when I lived in Maine. The passion fruit tea was my favorite. I loved how it was sweet but had that bitter aftertaste to get my tongue back to normal. I was generally scared to try new flavors though. One time I tried the matcha and it was amazing. Like I didn’t even taste the bitterness of the matcha since it was mixed with strawberry syrup. Also the barista with green hair was always so nice and a good worker. They deserve a raise.They made the best drinks and I knew I could count on them to not disappoint me when I got my drink. They also started to memorize my name and order which was sweet. They really know how to make a matcha good. Wish I could summon them everytime I need boba or coffee. I miss that place mannn…“

“This place rocks and I had the best $11 lunch. The puffy avo and shrimp tacos are my favorite. I went early and it wasn’t busy so I was able to get a little solo work lunch in and the server Luis was SO nice and welcoming. I also didn’t realize the have a kids changing table in the bathroom and most places in Portland aren’t kid friendly so I think I’ll come back with my kids soon because I’m already hungry for another taco and a happy upbeat welcoming atmosphere.“

“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!!“

“Delicious! Friendly authentic“

“Enjoyed breakfast here:
- 2 coffees
- Eggs and corned beef hash
- Eggs and bacon

While the service, quality, and quantity were top-notch, our total - after gratutity - was $73.00. Sorry, but that is a ridiculous amout for breakfast for 2 adults.

Aside from the toast being drechned in butter, the food was well-prepared and delicious. The coffee was fresh and super hot, and our waitress ensured our coffee - and waters - were always full.“

“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!❤“
