16 Essential Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurants in Portland

"A vegan gem in the Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood, this shop features the most impressive collection of dairy-free cheeses in town. Brought to you by Brittany and Ryan Snipes — the same folks behind package-free grocery store The Realm Refillery — Vtopian specializes in cultured cashew cheeses in flavors like umami rich black garlic, creamy rainbow peppercorn brie, and a grateable sharp aged white cheddar. The display case also carries some of the biggest vegan cheese names in the country, including Rebel Cheese, Cheeze & Thank You, and Rind Cheese. Customers will even find seaweed caviar, tinned celeriac fish, and fig salami here. Over on Belmont, Vtopian’s food cart Unwind serves cheese plates and handmade pasta, like brown butter squash pappardelle, at Company wine bar." - Waz Wu
