Some of Portland’s best options for meatless takeout, from tangy barbecue to raw vegan cheesecake

Portland has a longstanding reputation as a vegan haven, with an abundance of animal-product-free cafes, food carts, pizzerias, and even ice cream shops. From refined small plates to juicy meatless burgers, Portland’s vegan restaurants stand out, thanks to creative chefs leading the kitchens and the city’s proximity to farm produce and renowned vegan alternatives.

This latest update to Eater’s vegan essentials map highlights some of the major players in Portland’s vegan dining scene, including their takeout and delivery strategies. Those looking to support local businesses during the COVID-19 outbreak can browse this additional list of vegan and vegetarian restaurants.

A number of Portland restaurants have resumed dine-in service. The level of service offered is indicated on each map point. However, this should not be taken as endorsement for dining in, as there are still safety concerns: for updated information on coronavirus cases in your area, please visit the Oregon Health Authority’s COVID update page. Studies indicate that there is a lower exposure risk when outdoors, but the level of risk involved with patio dining is contingent on restaurants following strict social distancing and other safety guidelines.
