Portland Vegan Guides
Portland is a vegan haven blending quirky charm with a thriving plant-based scene. Whether you’re wandering through the artsy Pearl District, cycling along the scenic waterfront, or exploring the eclectic streets of Alberta, you’ll find vegan delights at every turn. Portland offers an incredible variety of options, from hearty comfort foods like loaded vegan mac and cheese and indulgent donuts to globally-inspired dishes like spicy Korean BBQ bowls and fresh sushi rolls. And for coffee lovers, Portland has a serious love affair with a cup of joe — you’ll stay caffeinated throughout your visit!
Portland is also a hub for sustainable shopping, with local shops offering cruelty-free goods, eco-friendly clothing, and handmade vegan products. With its progressive spirit, lush surroundings, and dedication to all things plant-based, Portland is a must-visit for vegan travelers looking to experience the best of the Pacific Northwest! If you’ve got extra time, consider tagging on a trip to vegan-friendly Seattle (it’s just over three hrs. away by train).
