50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Portland

“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!!!“

“The best Vegan/Vegetarian Thai food in town!💖“

“We found them on Google, walked in and gave them a try. They were so good! The pumpkin waffle was out of this world, and my husband loved the breakfast burrito. 10/10 recommend, will come back next visit to Portland. The atmosphere was so cozy, the art on the walls so much fun. Just a good place to eat overall.“

“I went to this place for me and my partners anniversary. I have never been and neither had he. The experience was top notch! I came in and the waiter said he was going to change my life and he did just that. I also had a gift card that had a generous balance and I was so impressed with the service and food that I was embarrassed to use it so I paid out of my own pocket. Best tapas in Portland hands down! My partner usually is the one who picks places because I’m bad at it and he was also incredibly impressed with me and my choice to try Urdaneta!“

“Great date night! We celebrated our first wedding anniversary here last night and every single thing we ordered was excellent. The wine/bubbles list is impressive also.“

“This place has one of the best vegan banh mi I’ve tried. The bread is fresh and crispy, and the fillings are well seasoned and delicious. I also love the peaceful atmosphere since the shop is inside a beautiful temple area. The staff are friendly and the food feels homemade. Highly recommend if you are looking for tasty vegan Vietnamese food. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-06“

“Twice now I’ve eaten at Ox. I came back for the Clam Chowder with Smoked Bone Marrow as it left such a lasting impression. This time, we tried the Skirt Steak with the Radicchio & Romaine Salad. It was a 10/10! Most excellent meal. We also sat at the grille where all the steaks and chops were being prepared, and we loved feeling part of the process. Can't wait to bring family!“

“We hit this spot for brunch on a Sunday. It's VERY popular, but the place is huge so we didn't wait long at all. One of the nicest servers we've had in ages. They wear hilarious shirts that say things inappropriate for this review. :) It's one of those places where if it sounds good it probably is. Big menu. Fun origin story. Can highly recommend.“

“The best pizza I’ve had in years wow I’m blown away!!!“

“Excellent! Fast, friendly service and absolutely delicious food. We had the tempura udon and curry plate. We also enjoyed the sake flight. Cannot wait to go back.“

“just stopped in today before work for lunch. The attendant was personable and respectful. The food was made quick and even taking it to go, it was still warm and delicious once i made it home. I find new experiences pretty daunting, but i felt attended to and was helped when i had questions. I've had other "bowl" quick bite alternatives to The Whole Bowl but this was the easiest and most delicious experience by far.“

“I had one of the most sumptuous dinners here. As I watched the chef prepare our meals, I was amazed to see the precision they use to give each dish the perfect taste, color, and temperature. I simply loved the wonderful flavors of the freshly made pasta and the recommended wine pairing. I loved the food and the entire experience. I hope the management franchises this restaurant to more cities!“

“My wife and I come here for special occasions and last night we celebrated her birthday! As always, the service was excellent, food was impeccable, atmosphere was cozy, and a very enjoyable experience. It is a small place which only adds to the intimacy of service and atmosphere. The owner is a great guy who is very knowledgeable in all his dishes and wines which were incredible as well! We love C'est Si Bon and will continue to come here everytime we want to celebrate something at a special place!“

“First time ever having this kind of food and it was phenomenal. The service is top notch. The drinks were amazing. Everything was so well prepared! I highly recommend coming with a group to share everything. It was such a great experience. Will definitely be back.“

“Finally got to taste today!!! So amazing. This is truly amazing pizza. If you are in Portland, this is where you need to eat 😋“

“My friend and I visit here every Friday evening. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. Especially Jason. He remembers regulars, and is very genuinely caring about the people he serves. The servers, including Lupita, are very prompt and nice. Your drinks never go empty! We prefer this location because it’s not only open until 10pm, but because we have had such pleasant experiences with the staff. Food is pretty darn good too! Fresh breakfast meats and French toast! Thank you!“

“We went tonight for the first time and our meal was so delicious! We will definitely go again soon and you should too! What a gem! Excellent food, beautiful restaurant and such kind service! 💖“

“Oh my gosh. Such a delicious meal! I got the combination plate and the schnitzel was so flavorful. I've heard good things about the dill soup and it did not disappoint! We finished our meal with eclairs to go.

My boyfriend and I both agreed it'll be hard to try something new because we both loved what we got! Can't wait to back!“

“great choice of food carts, atmosphere is very good, very pleasant and relaxing!“

“Everything about this place is phenomenal. The food is so delicious. We tried several things off the menu and couldn’t decide what our favorite was. They were all that good. And the staff are on top of it! Friendly, helpful, and happy. And we had the most sensational cocktails ever! Highly highly highly recommend this place. Great vibe and energy too!“

“😍 delicious at best !!!“

“A hidden gem nestled conveniently on 23rd. Spicy gyoza with crispy cabbage, Spicy beef burrito with tender rice, & Spicy sauces on the side! Ultra-friendly, attentive service provided in a cozy, laid back atmosphere. A new neighborhood favorite!!!“

“Awesome neighborhood sandwich shop in a bustling neighborhood with plenty going on to keep it exciting. Diamond in the coal mine!

The food is exceptional, which is no surprise considering it's a Your Neighborhood Restaurant Group location, which has over half a dozen chef/butcher/owner operated locations around Portland.

Quality meats and well sourced ingredients. Great selection of beer and cider, and a surprisingly diverse menu with great options for all appetites.

We've tried the smashburgers, hot sandwiches (hot honey chicken and turkey), steak salad, and the sides. All meals were well received by ages 5-45, from foodie to redneck. They look as good as they taste, which is such a nice change of pace, considering the price point, which is very fair.

We will keep supporting this location as long as it's here in our neighborhood! Great work guys!“

“Best sandwich ever. Period. I crave it weekly! 😋The classic is my faves“

“I picked a lunch spot on a total whim after flying in from Texas, then discovered the best comfort karē outside of Japan. Absolutely incredible, rich flavors that speak for themselves. Nothing is hidden or muddled; the recipe is full bodied, served insanely quick, and with the hospitality of an old friend you haven't seen in years (big shoutout to one-man army Mr. Makoto Yoshino). If you're a veteran that's ever been stationed in Japan, pair this up with Jinro and a Page 11 and it's like you're back in Oki! Seriously though, food was so good I had a borderline religious experience. 11/10 I'll always come here when I visit Portland.“

“Pleasure Burger in Portland is a top-notch spot for smash burgers, which are my personal favorite. Their burgers are renowned for their incredible flavor and perfect texture. Each bite delivers a satisfying crunch thanks to the well-executed smash technique, which maximizes the caramelized crust on the patties. The Pleasure Burger, with its simple yet delicious composition, is a standout item on the menu. In addition to their stellar burgers, the Parmesan waffle fries are a must-try, perfectly seasoned and paired with tasty dipping sauce​. The atmosphere at their new downtown location is set to be inviting, with an all-black aesthetic and modern touches, making it a great place to enjoy a meal​. Overall, if you're a fan of smash burgers, Pleasure Burger is a destination you shouldn't miss. Their dedication to quality and flavor ensures a delightful dining experience every time.“
