Vegans already know that Portland is where to be when it comes to legit meat-free food; the city's best vegan and vegetarian restaurants spotlight vegetables and grains with style and sophistication, skipping the lazy tofu substitutions and bizarre fake cheese. No more vegan specials like fries and a salad; in fact, this map specifically favors restaurants without a touch of meat on the menu.
Eater's latest update highlights some of Portland's newer vegetarian and vegan restaurants, with additions like Capitol, Ichiza Kitchen, Maruti Indian Restaurant, and an all-vegan food truck from Los Gorditos. Exiting with the latest update are Canteen, Harlow, Vtopia Cheese Shop, and Sweetpea Baking Company: all lovely, but it's time for the new gang to shine.
