16 Essential Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurants in Portland
"The former Sudra space at Fremont-Mississippi is now a tropical oasis known as XO Bar. Here, Regi Carter slings whimsical cocktails with ingredients like butterfly pea gin, cachaça, toasted sesame, and all sorts of tropical fruits — think: passionfruit, lychee, and guava. While the stellar cocktails alone are worth a visit to XO, Sanjay Chandrasekaran’s drinking snacks — such as jackfruit vindaloo spring rolls and fried misozuke tofu — round out the experience. A good move is to order small plates to share, but hungrier visitors will find heartier options like a barbecue sambol-slathered, tempura-battered “chicken” sandwich. Weekend brunch includes halo halo style breakfast bowl and fried cauliflower and waffles." - Waz Wu
