Welcome!

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. In 2008, VegNews took notice, naming Portland as the Editors' Pick for "Veg City Taking Over the World!" And 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!
