Best Vegan Spots to Try in Portland

Portland is known for their unique take on food, culture and art. So it’s no surprise that Portland is a hub for vegan food. While in most other cities vegan cuisine can be somewhat easy to come by, restaurants that are entirely devoted to vegan options may not be. Not in Portland! There are a ton of amazing vegan restaurants to check out, and they’re definitely far from the usual granola options usually associated with healthy cuisine.

Residents at our upcoming communities in Portland such as Arlo Apartments, Sandy28 and The Perch will be able to enjoy a vast variety of vegan food the city has to offer.

Let’s check out our favorites!
