Best Vegetarian / Vegan Restaurants in North Portland

It is rare to find a Mexican restaurant with healthy options… In Verde Cochina is the place to find that! I had the Nor’wester plate… Filled with fresh veggies, quinoa, black beans, pico de gallo, fresh cucumber, pita, and a plant-based poblano – coconut sauce that was out of this world delicious!!! my partner had the Tres street tacos - beautifully presented, and according to him, very delicious! I recommend this quaint, wonderfully decorated restaurant. And to top it off, everyone was super friendly and expert service!!

We went to Wilf's after a long absence and was delighted to find it just as wonderful as I remembered. Although there are newer items on the menu, all of my old favorites were there. We had the French onion soup, rich and spectacular, and the Caesar salad. Prepared table side, the Wilf's version has my vote as the best Caesar in Portland, particularly if you like them garlicky (which I do). For entrees, I had the prime rib, and my friend had the Steak Diane, the latter also prepared table side. Both were perfect. (Check out the You Tube video for how to make Wilf's Steak Diane; it tided me over during the pandemic.) As always, the service was excellent; friendly and attentive without being obtrusive. Located in the old Union Train Stations, Wilf's restaurant is beautiful and spacious. We sat in the dining room, but it is all really one large room. We could hear the live jazz music playing in the bar area but it was still quiet enough to have a good conversation. All in all, delightful.

Outstanding food and service. Great place to unwind, relax and enjoy friends or family and yummy treats.

Loved both the ambiance and the food, which is a rare combination for me to find! Best wings I’ve ever tasted as appetizers and the salmon as a main plate was incredible. It was my son’s birthday and the lovely hostess had thoughtfully sprinkled confetti on the table before we arrived. May this restaurant live long and prosper!

What a lovely place! Staff is friendly and the food is delicious. I had the shaking beef. It was tender and not too spicy. My husband had the salt and pepper calamari which he loved. Other companions and the rice bowls. We started with the spring rolls which were some of the best I've ever had. The house wine is very good! Looking forward to dining there again. Highly recommend.
