During the cold, rainy months, Portlanders turn to steaming bowls of noodle soups to stay warm. Luckily for vegans and vegetarians, there are plenty of meatless noodle soups to choose from, including nutty tantan ramen, spicy bun hue, creamy Malaysian-style laksa, and savory Filipino-style “chicken” mami. While takeout and delivery aren’t the same as enjoying these bowls straight out of the kitchen, it’s a way for Portlanders to continue to support local restaurants through the winter.
As always, the restaurants are not ranked; rather, they’re organized geographically. Those seeking satisfying veggie soups sans noodles can peruse this map, while those seeking more vegan content should check out the vegan essentials map.

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.
