Gillian McKeith's guide to healthy restaurants in Portland.

Written by Gillian McKeith

Portland has the kind of independent food culture that makes a plant-forward guide easy to write. The standards are high and the chefs are not interested in shortcuts.

Farm Spirit is the tasting-menu destination on SE Belmont. Feral on Division works with farm produce and foraged ingredients. Lilla does vegan Italian without losing the comfort, Mirisata brings Sri Lankan rice and curry that is naturally gluten-free and soy-free, Jade Rabbit serves vegan dim sum, and Off the Griddle has been doing the vegan breakfast and brunch thing since 2010.

Each entry is picked for real food, not for marketing budgets. Nobody buys their way in.

About the author

Written by Gillian McKeith

I'm Gillian McKeith: television presenter, creator of the global hit show You Are What You Eat, writer, nutritionist, and the editor behind this guide. Every Portland entry here is chosen and written by me. I judge kitchens on the things that actually matter: real ingredients, honest sourcing, vegetables cooked with care, and food you feel better for eating.

Nothing on this page is a paid placement. Restaurants cannot buy a recommendation, and any listing marked as sponsored is labelled as such. If a kitchen slips, it comes out of the guide.
