20 Best Vegan Restaurants in South Portland

“Went there for New Years Eve at the new location. They told us it was going be at least a 45 minute wait and we were ok with that. Host took our phone number and added us on the wait list on his tablet. Took a seat out by the host stand and waited. Another couple came in about 15 minutes after us, also a party of two, and the same host told them it was going be a wait and they took a seat next to us. Even though we had been there 15 minutes longer and greeted by same host with tablet, he forgot about us and seated them first. Even though we were waiting right next to them and he looked right at us when he came to tell them to follow him to a table. We finally just got a seat at the bar. We ordered appetizers, two rounds of drinks and dinner. Again told it was going be a wait because kitchen was backed up. That was fine. Got our drinks and appetizers. Then my girlfriend’s entrée finally came out but they forgot to bring mine! I thought it would be out in a few minutes, but after 1o more minutes waiting for my food I finally inquired, and they had somehow forgotten my entrée. They comp’d one round of drinks. Love the new location. Love the food. But we chose the wrong night to go! I’ve never gone out to eat and ordered the food and had them forget to bring my entrée out.. By the time I got my dinner my girlfriend was done with her food. Just asked them to bag it for take-away. Still tipped 20% as I’ve worked twenty years in resturants. Kind of disappointed with New Years Eve dinner. Took the night off early to go have a nice meal and they forgot my meal!“

“We LOVE an evening out at Tuscan Table, South Portland location in fact we go every week! Our preferred place to sit is at the bar where we know we will always get excellent service from our favorite server Sammy. Sammy always greets us with a friendly smile and remembers what we like to drink, she also remembers how we like each dish that is ordered prepared even if we forget to ask, she knows. Sammy makes eating at the Tuscan a wonderful welcoming experience every time. Thank you Sammy and see you next week! Nancy & Eddie“

“Very limited lunch menu but the chicken pesto pita pocket was delish. Ordinary shoestring fries followed a tasty appetizer of fried cauliflower. No regular ranch dressing for dipping available. Nothing intriguing enough for a repeat visit.“

“Just happened to stop here yesterday for a late lunch! So glad we did! My husband has had their pizza before I hadn't. The pizza was soo delicious! I ordered a Pineapple, Bacon & Hot Honey small pizza. It was one of the BEST pizza's I've ever eaten! I didn't take my receipt so I can't remember our waiters name & I wish I could because he deserves a shout out! He was amazing!! Would definitely recommend! & will definitely be back!“

“The food was excellent! The young man who made our tableside guacamole and our waiter were two of the best serves I have ever encountered! This place is TopShelf!“

“Came here after visiting Portland Headlight in Cape Elizabeth. Many options to choose from and they were delicious! My girls ordered three different kinds of pad Thai.“

“Their strawberry cheese tart might be the most delicious thing I have ever tasted in my 34 years of life. Just saying. 😮‍💨“

“So, so, SO good! We’re from out of town but ALWAYS make a point to stop by Jaffa when we’re in South Portland. Seriously cannot recommend this place enough. #drool“

“Thank you for being one of the only places in town with healthy and vegan options � the amazing taste is a bonus“

“If you like sushi but are on the go, you owe it to yourself to try Poké from Big Fin Poké. It fills the craving and is a healthy fast food option to boot! :) Customer service is always friendly and prompt, and the food is always fresh.“

“I was in South Portland for work and dropped in for a quick dinner. It was great to find delicious authentic Mexican food!! The service was fast and friendly. The place was very nice and comfortable. The salsa bar is amazing!! Highly recommend it!!“

“The food was amazing! We received our order very quickly and it had so much flavour. I would definitely recommend!“

“Panera is a place where I worked when in secondary schools. It's been a place of quality standards. The foods are a treat, and similarly to years ago, if my diet includes animal products, then the frontera chicken sandwich is my go-to out of habit.

Appreciate the thought for the newer $7.99 meal deals. They are excellent for a small bite, any of you other lithe, agile & nimble travelers out there.

Salads and treats are delicious on special occasions.

Beverages are always fresh and ready. The teams make it flow beautifully.

This location is a delight, with a fire in the fire place for cozy vibes.

Thank you to Panera for quality, consistency, and comfort.

The hours of operation are super for early birds.“

“The food here is very good 😋😋😋😋“

“We were needing a quick stop for lunch by the airport before flying home and chose this spot for pizza. We were delightfully surprised they had an Italian sandwich, not Maine style. The sandwich was delicious and that bread!! We also got the pulled pork with scallions pizza and added mushrooms and pepperoni- it was so good. The crust was thin with a perfect char. We couldn’t decide if the sandwich or pizza was better but all agreed if this place existed in Oklahoma, we’d be regulars.“

“I think our server was new, but he was so kind and patient with my kids. Food was a little slow coming out, especially considering it was only 2 in the afternoon with hardly anyone there, but it wasn’t a huge issue. It was quiet, food was good, there was no wait.“

“Love their variety of drink & food choices! I have dined here multiple times and have always had a great meal! Also love the atmosphere! You quickly forget that you are eating in a hotel restaurant!“

“My boyfriend got the fried rice with beef, and I got the one with chicken - both were amazing! The cheesecake is out of this world - the best I’ve tried in Portland! The staff was also very nice and attentive. Genuinely liked this place and will definitely be coming back!“

“What a great choice while looking for healthy eating options while traveling on the road.
Wonderful salad with the beef option was the perfect combination of flavors.
Could really taste the charred taste on the beef patty which was good. I finished the salad the next day. Which was still tasty.
Definitely order from here again when in town .“

“Happy to say tonight was a great night to go out to dinner. Upon arrival, the bartender was acting as host, server and over all cheer squad for the restaurant. We were greeted promptly as she was busy assisting a person picking up an order and seating another couple. We sat in the bar at a hightop. She followed us over with menus and asked us about drinks. Throughout our visit she was a checking in with a bubbly personality and vibrancy that was refreshing. Our food came out as ordered, which can be tricky with my dietary changes, and it was hot and delicious! She was Johnny on the spot with refills and smiling every time she came by. I couldn't remember her name but the receipt said Blake. If that's correct I give you props! Thanks for making a rainy night enjoyable 😉“
