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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Flavorful, upbeat and great service. Had a reservation at the bar and was happy to see how quickly and meticulously the staff worked and how kindly the Chef treated his staff.
The cobb salad left a lasting impression on me. It even inspired me to recreate it at home a few days later. The bone marrow toast was like a French onion soup on bread but better! Suckling pig and foie gras were ok. Wish I could of stayed longer and tried more dishes but had to run to another reservation. I will definitely be back.“

“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 !“

“Gelato Fiasco was one of our favorite dessert stops in Portland. The whole experience is incredibly easy and fun—they’ll let you sample whatever flavors you want, and when you’re ready, you can build your cup with as many different flavors as you’d like.

Everything we tried was delicious. The gelato is very light and smooth, so even after trying several flavors it never felt overly heavy or too sweet. There’s also enough variety that it’s easy to find something for everyone.

The staff was extremely friendly and patient while we sampled our way through the options, which made the experience even better.

Overall, I’d absolutely recommend Gelato Fiasco. If you’re looking for ice cream or gelato in Portland, this is easily one of the top spots in the city.“

“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!“

“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‼️“

“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🤘🏼“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Friendly place. Best blueberry pancakes in town.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“BEST sandwich EVER💯💯💯💯💯/10“

“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!❤“

“Every dish was fantastic!“

“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 🍱🥢🍣“

“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!“

“Awesome bubble tea shop that stands out from the other spots in Portland because of its innovative menu items named after and inspired by the ocean. The zephyr with osmanthus and brown sugar was incredible. The mushroom latte was also outstanding as a caffeine-free option. The space is also really comfortable with abundant seating and charming touches like a bookshelf and board games.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“
