5 Best Vegan Eats of 2023 in Portland, Oregon
This year, Portland has seen tremendous growth in the vegan food scene. While we said ‘good-bye’ to some of our most beloved restaurants, we also got to say ‘hello’ to new ones. Each one sharing something unique for all of us to enjoy. After eating at probably over 40 restaurants this year, these are my top eats of 2023 that you should check out in 2024!
Workshop Food & Drink
Workshop’s menu changes seasonally.
Sister restaurant to the famous, Fermenter. Chef Aaron Adams opened Workshop in March, which started as a place for Cuban bites. Eventually, it was transformed into a cozy spot for the best pre-fixe menu in the city. The menu changes seasonally as Chef Aaron uses all local ingredients and even uses local pottery for plating his artistic masterpieces. Everyone in the restaurant is served their course at the same time, which gives it a fun interactive experience as well. Every dish is complex in flavor and texture and leaves a lasting impression. It is reservation only but be sure to get a seat at the counter to see Chef Aaron and his team in action.

Grana
Broccolini and lemon pizza with za’atar and chili oil
This once popular farmers market stand is now a brick and mortar serving the famous Napolese-style folded pizzas for lunch and classic Neapolitan style pizza for dinner. With a veggie-focused menu, they use fresh, local ingredients to create deletable pizzas. Their pizzas can easily be made vegan. Their crust is made with flour imported from Italy and is proofed for 72 hours, creating the softest, most delicious dough. This may be the best pizza spot in Portland.

Orange & Blossom
Pastries made fresh daily from Orange & Blossom
You’ve seen the lines at the PSU Farmer’s Market but now, you can go to their new brick and mortar in order to get your favorite desserts! Orange & Blossom’s treats are truly, one-of-a-kind as they use flavor combinations you’d never think of that just work. From their miso butterscotch sticky buns and pistachio olive oil cake to their miso pumpkin pie and pear rosemary toffee scone. A must for anyone with a sweet tooth!

Macaroni in a Pot (currently only at Fortune)
The popular pesto mac and cheese. Currently only at Fortune inside the Sentinel Hotel
Macaroni in a Pot is for the mac and cheese lover. Once a beloved food truck, they are now at Fortune in the Sentinel Hotel serving up their popular cashew nut base mac and cheese in three different flavors: classic, pesto, and chipotle bacon. You can even get a sampler to try all three! This is hands down the best mac and cheese you’ll ever have!
