50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Portland

“It was delicious!!! Rabbit, foie gras, pigs feet, escargot, halibut, eel, scallops, all the fancy sauces….SOOO good!! Every bite was just perfectly executed. The staff was so friendly and engaging which made it really fun to sit at the chef’s counter!“

“Delicious and beautiful food!!! I miss being able to eat at your restaurant because the atmosphere was always so relaxing and unique. Thanks for the amazing food and experience!“

“Came in with some friends. They had patience of waiting for the long line but I did not. I just grabbed the pint of honey lavender flavor ice cream in their fridge then went straight to the cashier so I didnt have to wait in line. The ice cream was delicious and one of my favorite flavors, then 2nd would be blue cheese n pear flavor. The atmosphere was clean and the place smells like amazing vanilla scent because of the waffle cones they make there. One of my favorite ice cream places ❤️“

“We sat at the bar and loved the atmosphere… service was superb (thank you Nick) and the food delicious“

“Honestly was the best steak house I’ve been to… I liked how the waiter explained the whole process to the table, gave great recommendations & the chef gave us a free soup sample. All the food was 5/5 stars. Best steak & pork chop hands down.“

“We ordered the fried chicken, summer salad, hummus with burnt beef tips and the corn ribs. Everything was unbelievably delicious. The summer salad in particular was refreshing and different. I can not recommend this place enough.“

“The best!! You won’t be disappointed. Staff are clearly experts and enjoy being there. So much fun energy too! Mind. Blown.“

“Everything is bomb! my favorite restaurant in Portland! Try the dumpling Soup! Also the best Thai Tea in Portland and it's reasonably priced which is great! Love it here!“

“Oh wow. I read reviews about this place online so we made a visit when we first arrived in Portland tonight. There was only seating at the bar and that was fine as it was last minute and this place was booked up. The service was great, the drinks just perfect and the food - excellent! My husband was skeptical at first but the more he ate, the happier he was! The heirloom tomato dish with one of the foccacias is a must! We combined the prawns with a tagliatelle- delicious. The cocktails were well crafted and tasty. We will be back!“

“The wait on a Friday night for a table or a to go pizza is insane. Make a reservation or go early. Street parking on the weekend is also a bear. In complete fairness, the pizzas look amazing, but I had no desire to wait 1 hour for a table or to go order.“

“I make it a point to visit Canard Burnside on all of my trips to Portland! The unique flavors and presentations on their menu keep me coming back for more. Had the roasted beets last night for the first time and the flavor was out of this world.“

“This place nails it every time. Service is friendly and efficient. Cocktails are creative and delicious, as you’d expect from a Ninsom operation, his spots always have a great bar setup. Photo here of the prawn curry. Damn was that amazing! Also got the tom yum noodles which ruled.“

“High energy and volume. Great service. Family style small plates staggered out makes for a more enjoyable and slow paced meal.“

“Tusk is great. Especially for a nice date night. The food is exquisite and the service is AMAZING.“

“Super ice creme. Not oversweetened, rather light. Simply delicious“

“The food at Mestizo is fantastic. Great customer service, creative drinks, and as a bonus, everything is gluten and soy free.“

“Cozy neighborhood vibes. Had to remind myself it is a bar. Kinda loud, but then again it is a bar. Scored low on service because there is zero table service. You have to keep getting up to order at the bar. Good burger and fries. Trout chips and dip was different but tasty. Overall good experience.“

“I love this place - There was a guy I hadn't seen before working tonight and he stopped midway through making my lamb curry to check and give me a spice/salt level test. The guy who I usually see did the same thing before I started regularly visiting and he got to know my levels - These guys care about making their customers into regulars and you can tell that they're proud of what they do. As expected with this level of personalized service and care, the food is out out of this world and is my go-to for a cold rainy day - Luckily we have lots of them! Get the lamb curry - The lamb chunks are spoon tender, the curry is spiced perfectly and the rice is fluffy and aromatic!“

“In the city of breweries, this is the best brewery.“

“Fresh pasta and inventive salads“

“fresh fish, great taste. Real yummy“

“So wonderful. The sparkling lemonade was the most delicious and refreshing. The cheese board was simple but delicious. We split the randy and it was INCREDIBLE. The English muffins were so pillowy and huge and delicious. Definitely recommend“

“First time eating Ethiopian food, trusted the waiter to choose our food and wine pairing and he hit it spot on! Everything was absolutely delicious. So fresh and spicy and flavorful. We will definitely be back often!“

“Looooved this great pizza!“

“I've. eaten all over Southeast Asia including street amrt I've eaten at many Southeast Asian restaurants, including in Cambodia, Malaysia and Laos, and can unequivocally say this is one of the best meals I've ever had. Starters to dessert, the food was unique, inspired and full of multiple flavors. Bravo and five stars!“

“I find myself craving this pizza and have been coming a few times a month since I happened upon it. Such a lovely ambiance at the Cartopia food carts and Pyro beckons you to try them with a beautiful wood fired pizza oven and delicious personal pizzas not to mention the craft sodas which are ever changing. They offer free refills on the sodas too which is marvelous. I stay getting the Fennel Sausage Pizza but everything is delicious it truly is choose what sounds best. The pizzas are thin and the dough is well hydrated while still maintaining a great crust.“

“I have been to this wonderful spot a million times but stayed in my comfort zone of the tacos. I've literally had them all, even the burrito, and burrito bowls. However, something told me that comfort and change can't sit together so I decided to try something new tonight. I tried the scrumptious pulled Jack sandwich, which came with heaping sides of Mac and cheese, and greens. I also got my 6 yr old the tamales. Before I noticed he scarfed down his tamales and was asking for a bite of mine. I was only able to try a single bite of his and man oh man I wanted another one just for myself lol... Here we both are now both stuffed to the max but of course, what a good dinner with a great dessert. We are eating the yum yum yummmaaay blackberry peach cobbler... If you ain't been here, get here, and if you have, try something different next time, I bet you'll love it better or just the same as your favorite.

To top it all off she is such a majestic being, very social( I mean we all have our days right?) and down to earth, and her love language is servitude!!!

May her and her business continue to blossom!!!“

“Friendly staff fast service, best sushi I’ve ever had“

“We had an amazing experience here for our wedding dinner we had almost 30 people in the main room. Everything from the service, food, drinks and preparation was stress free. I highly recommend this restaurant. Great for any occasion. PERFECTION..!!!“

“My sister went to grad school in Portland and went to Norah quite a few times while living in Portland. She raved about the food and said it was the best meal she ever had. We made a 1pm reservation on a Saturday and walked in to a very cute little place. Order yourself via QR code. We ordered the Rainy Rangoons and the Pad Thai Nachos. Rangoons were a little fishy for our liking but the Pad Thai Nachos were to die for for. For meals we all split the See Ew and the Spicy Holy Basil Eggplant. Everything was absolutely delicious and portions were very large. We had a good amount of food left over. Would definitely return next time I’m in Portland.“

“Great food, lots of fun flavors.“

“THE FOOD! Excellent service. Fabulous food. Wonderful vibe. 🔥🔥🔥“

“Update:

No better birria in southeast Portland! Usually top quality chile relleno, too. Also, sizable portions here - 1 burrito is nearly 2. Got the tinga plate last nite & was very happy.

(Original post)
This is the spot! Used to visit their old tienda in Gresham when the old folks ran it, before they retired. Still good!“

“Astera truly is the stuff of dining dreams! While that might sound hyperbolic, one visit will reveal that it’s actually an understatement. You can expect a scintillating showcase that each season of Oregon’s bounty has to offer. Chef Aaron Adams’ commitment to detail with the entire mission is unmatched, from the expertly curated beverages right down to the locally made dinnerware on which the ever evolving menu is served. I am perpetually excited to see their latest creations. It is always an exquisite experience and an overall inspiration that makes me extra grateful to live in Portland.“

“I think a couple weeks to the menu would be needed. We noticed the same garnish with caviar on both hot and cold dishes. The caviar on the hot pork chop wasn't very pleasing. The pork chop definitely needed a pineapple salsa or sauce with it to cut through the fattiness of the chop and grits.“

“Thank you Firehouse team for making our wedding day go perfectly! We booked out the entire restaurant for the day, so we were able to decorate and get ready starting at 11am. With our 42 guests, we held the ceremony in the patio out front, then had dinner upstairs and the dance party downstairs. The food was incredible and we heard so many compliments about it from our guests. Working with the events manager (Alec) was great with his quick responses, flexibility, suggestions, day-of coordination, and DJ-ing!!“

“Good food!“

“Amazing vegan BBQ ribs, southern fried chicken, Haitian coleslaw! We loved every bite!“

“My son is an amateur forager, so we had to give Feral a try. I'm so glad we did, because it was a delicious and unique experience. In addition to their foraged ingredients, they are known for their cocktails. I ordered the blackberry seltzer, but was disappointed to learn they were sold out. So the bar tender asked me what I like and created a drink just for me. The food is served family style. For a party of four, we ordered a beet and strawberry salad, a farro grain salad, asparagus with a cream sauce, pesto pasta, and grilled lion's mane mushrooms with lettuce wraps. When almost every bite of food had been devoured, I realized that I had not taken any photos of the meal. Here are photos of our empty plates, the lettuce for wrapping , and one last bite of lion's mane! Highly recommend!“

“Superb vegan deli experience!“

“lovely atmosphere!! and very lovely food!!“

“Five stars for the best Reuben in town! Oh and these onion rings. Oh and the dips. It was mindblowing delicious! Super friendly staff. Coming back and back and back ...again and again :-)“

“I don’t care if you’re vegan or not, this is some of the best food ever! Whatever you are craving will be so amazing but if you were to only get one thing get the Crunchwrap. It will make you feel things your partner never could. Also have you ever been disappointed when you went to Taco Bell and the Crunchwrap was smaller than you wanted, well not here, it’s massive and way more flavorful than Taco Bell could ever hope to be. There is not a single reason you shouldn’t be going here at multiple times a month. Lastly literally everyone who works here is just the biggest bundle of joy and so kind it brightens your day 😊“

“Love this place. The smoothies are amazing, and the sweet treats are so tasty!“

“This is the first place we go eat at every time we visit PDX. Great sushi, great atmosphere, a really great staff- only complaint: bring back the potato killer“

“It had been a few years since I been there, and it was the same...great beers and delicious food. Also, going in the summer is the best, love the outdoor space.“

“Great live jazz on Thursdays!“

“I go here nearly every time I'm in Portland. This time I had to write a review because the service was just excellent! Shout out to a fabulous waiter 👍 Fantastic atmosphere.. Tasty savory delectibles .. I'll definitely be back!“

“Amazing creative dishes. Palm ceviche is fabulous as are all the entrees I can’t spell and the empanadas are flaky and delicious salsas aren’t really necessary but they are also incredible. Causas were wonderful. I couldn’t like this restaurant more if I was vegan. Highly recommend Epif.“

“I’m not vegan, and if you aren’t either, the Mississippi Bowl does not disappoint. So good! 😍“
