Welcome!

Congratulations, Portland! Did you know that Portland is the proud winner of a VegNews 2008 Editors’ Pick Veggie Award? That’s right, we’ve been named “Veg City Taking Over the World!”

It should come as no surprise that the Portland restaurant scene, with its interest in fresh, innovative cuisine and local and sustainable agriculture, offers some of the most delicious and varied animal-free dining options in the country. A National Restaurant Association poll shows that Portlanders aren't the only ones catching on: one in five diners looks for vegetarian meals when eating out.

If you live in Portland or are just visiting, browse through this website and let your mouth water. We hope you’ll find VegPortland.com useful and your dining experiences delightful. It’s never been easier to savor vegan cuisine in the City of Roses!

July's Feature of the Month

Food Fight!
1217 SE Stark St.
Portland, OR 97214
503-233-3910

What? You haven't been to Food Fight yet? What are you waiting for? Food Fight is an all-vegan grocery store located in the Vegan Mini Mall. While described on their website as more of a convenience store than a grocery store, Food Fight offers food, books, toiletries, and more!

Food Fight's favorite foods can be seen through their well-stocked sections of fake meat, candies—including the delicious Dandies Marshmallows—and convenience foods—like vegan ramen—though they now offer produce as well. Their toiletries range from toothpaste to contact lens solutions.

Food Fight is open everyday from 10 to 8 and is located at the Vegan Mini Mall, so while you're getting your groceries, you can pick up some dessert at Sweet Pea Bakery, some of your favorite clothes at Herbivore, and even a tattoo at Scapegoat Tattoo!
