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!“

“Captain's berried treasure was the best ice cream I've ever had. It was absolutely to die for. The flavors and textures were absolutely incredible. I also loved that they had several clearly marked vegan options on the menu. The service was good, and the atmosphere was cute. One scoop was a ton of ice cream and the price was just right. I cannot recommend this ice cream enough! Absolutely 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 sat at the bar and loved the atmosphere… service was superb (thank you Nick) and the food delicious“

“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.“

“I dint have anything bad to say about Ken's. Food was fantastic, service was definitely top notch and atmosphere was great. The charred beets and pickled veggies too start out followed by fennel and onion pie. Drinks were stiff and just what we were hoping for. We would definitely go back even with the long lines and wait.“

“Walking in the door, we weren't sure if we came in the right door. A large curtain was right inside. I'm sure to keep out the weather, but no real direction once inside. For dinner it is tapas styled ordering. We had salad, gnocchi, prawns, a few more plates. Now, none of the food was bad, it just wasn't good. No balsamic for the bread. The gnocchi tasted more like slices of mozzarella in an alfredo sauce. The servers seemed as if we were putting them out when we ordered. The tables were so close together that we were uncomfortably involved with one tables politics and the others sexual escapades from the night before. Maybe try another time.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“I loved this restaurant. My partner and I went here a little over a year ago now, but I think about it all the time. (We live near Olympia, WA and I had a baby this last year, so we've not made it back). They steak was so good and at the time they had these fish collars which were to die for *chef's kiss*.“

“Great food, lots of fun flavors.“

“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!“

“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.“

“My girlfriend and I saw online that this restaurant has a super wicked deal on Wednesdays and took advantage of it with haste. Y’all let me tell you we had a time eating their food mate. The attendants made sure we were familiar with the menu and made sure to answer any questions we had. They gave us a choice of where to sit. They even threw in some focaccia for the freeskie. Their cocktails were unique and delicious but you definitely need to find your preference. I love you guys stay safe.“

“fresh fish, great taste. Real yummy“

“Fresh pasta and inventive salads“

“We dined here on Sunday night August 18. It was a beautiful summer evening. We ate on the patio. The place had a nice romantic vibe. Lots of couples having a nice time. Our server, Emma, was very nice. We started with the the bruschetta and insalata Verdura. The bruschetta was pretty good but the salad was so bland. My mother makes better salad dressing than that. My husband had the prawns Verdura. It was very good. I had eggplant Parmesan. The eggplant was delicious, but there was no sauce on the linguini. I thought that was strange so I asked for sauce. I waited 5 minutes or so and Emma came by to ask if I had received the sauce. I said no. She went over to the kitchen, asked for sauce and had to stand there and wsit for a good 2 minutes for someone to hand her sauce. They weren't very busy. We thought this was peculiar. I don't know if they were short handed or what. Their sauce was good by the way. Not sure if we'll go back. We just felt sorry for Emma, so we tipped her well.“

“Looooved this great pizza!“

“This is such a fun and unique place! The vibes are immaculate. The drinks are strong and delicious. The food is incredible, and the staff is absolutely amazing!! I can't recommend Oma's enough. You must go if you're in the area.“

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

“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!!!“

“Patrick and his staff go ABOVE and beyond in terms of giving the best service and preparing the most delicious food. You can tell every dish is made with love, with so much attention to detail down to every single ingredient. Every time we dine-in, we are never disappointed and leave full and happy. Every dish I’ve tried always exceeds my expectations. Patrick is dedicated in his work and wants every single customer to experience the best. That’s what I love about Patrick, he will go out of his way to make sure you get to experience the full potential of every single one of his dishes. He’s always trying to find ways to improve his dishes every single day (which I’m not sure how that’s possible when it’s already the best) but that’s just the type of guy he is, always wanting to do better. Thank you for always taking care of us and making sure we have the best time when we come in❤️“

“A stunning experience. When I walked in I was greeted by the most charming host who quickly sat my party of five. We had all just arrived from a weekend in Saint Tropez and was properly famished. The atmosphere reminded me of places I often frequent in Berlin: atmospheric, warm, and intimate. Our food arrived promptly and the plating was perfect. Honest and delicious, I licked the plate as it felt right. Once I’m back from Ibiza this is the first stop I’ll make.

“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!!“

“Dinner with a couple of friends and we decided to try out the menu. Started with Aracini and the MB Salad. Delicious! On to the main dishes of Foie & Chicken Mousse, Grilled Prawns and King Salmon with Grilled Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts. Finished with the Gilled Bananas Foster. All the dishes were excellent. The staff couldn't have been more friendly or efficient.“

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

“Good food!“

“I initially wanted to visit this vegan diner with my buddy in Portland, didn’t realize that another branch was so much closer than where we actually were, we ended up having drinks at some bar instead.
I went there to have my last decent meal in Oregon.
I gotta say the gluten free version of pad Thai tasted so much better than regular one.
And the virgin colada contained my favorite pandan.
Thumbs up for the whole experience.“

“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.“

“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.

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“WOW. This place has some of the best food I’ve had in Portland, vegan or otherwise. I absolutely loved the Crunchwrap. Everyone working here was so nice. I even got some work done in the shaded courtyard area. 15/10 I will dream of this Crunchwrap.“

“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! 😍“

“Solid, reliable food that you literally can't go wrong with. Always served with a smile and what I appreciate most, other than the whole ingredients, is the fact that it's truly priced fairly.
For those who are Gluten-Free, we love that Whole Bowl is fully gluten-free!

Bonus? The serve Nate's Oatmeal cookies which are the best (and also GF)! 🙌🏽

“Old school vibes and amazing food. The owner is very nice and hospitable as well 🙏“

“I recommend this restaurant, I'm coming from Seattle WA with my family and we went to eat there, very good food, good customer service, everything clean. I invite you to visit them, you will love it.“

“Love this place. Appropriate that the elevator doesn't take you up until opening hour. It has a very crisp and welcoming look. The greenery makes it so. We wanted rooftop and it was lovely. We arrived early and filled up shortly after. Love the fire inside. Staff is attentive and friendly. Food was great. Would definitely return.“
