Vegan Restaurants–Portland, Oregon

Portland, Oregon is known as a foodie town. It is also one of the top cities in the world for being vegan (and gluten-free) friendly.

Whether you are a local or just visiting, this Portland vegan restaurant review is for you.

This is an insider’s guide to 100% vegan restaurants that have gluten-free options.

The list is in no particular order and will be added to regularly, so pin for later and do check back!

This is not a sponsored post; all opinions are my own.

UPDATE: I am currently working on splitting up this list (into different posts) according to the Portland area the restaurants are in. Check back for links to these area-specific posts.

I now have a guide to vegan-friendly, gluten-free friendly restaurants in Southeast Portland.

The Sudra

The 100% vegan cuisine at The Sudra is Indian inspired.

The restaurant is located in Northeast Portland (click on the link for a map).

Northeast Sudra

The Sudra is the centrally located, on the east side of the Willamette across from downtown.

Hands-down Favorite

The Sudra is my favorite vegan restaurant. I’ve eaten there many times, so I’ve tried several of their dishes, and they are all amazingly delicious.

When I took my non-vegan husband, he had to go back the next weekend for more! I kid you not. It’s that good.

For more information, go to Sudra’s website.

Blossoming Lotus Vegan Restaurant

Blossoming Lotus is a tiny vegan oasis located near the Lloyd Center on the east side of the Willamette River. It’s decorated in a sage-y green and black that evokes a casual elegance befitting this more upscale restaurant. The staff is friendly and attentive. Seating is snug but comfortable.

I have to say it’s really nice to be able to go somewhere and KNOW that everything on the menu is plant based and organic. Additionally, they have their items well labeled with many gluten-free and soy-free options, which is more icing on the cake.

I have eaten here three times: once for an executive board meeting, once with guests from Japan and Thailand, and once with my daughter to celebrate her birthday.

Brunch

When I went for my board meeting, I was the only vegan. My colleagues were so nice to arrange a vegan restaurant.

Since it was a Saturday, we were given the brunch menu.

I had the Spinach & Mushroom Scramble, which was absolutely AMAZING! So. So. GOOD. Everyone else said their food was delicious, too; it all certainly looked good.

I would definitely go back for brunch.

Lunch

For lunch with my daughter, I had the carnitas enchiladas, and she had the live (raw) nachos. We both drank lavender lemonade and then shared a pot of Assam tea.

She loved her nachos, and I liked my enchiladas, although they were a bit lacking in flavor.
