The Best Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurants in Portland | Eater Portland

"Formerly known as Workshop, Aaron Adams’s fancy vegan restaurant Astera offers a dining experience revolving around the “horticultural cuisine of Cascadia.” Similar to Workshop and the influential (and now closed) Farm Spirit, the menu utilizes locally grown and foraged seasonal produce. The symphony of vegetable courses vary, depending on what’s in season. A recent spring menu featured dishes like a nettle pasta with spruce essence and poached rhubarb with chamomile custard and sorrel granita. A smaller menu is available on Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays for $65 per person while the full tasting menu is $115 plus beverages and service fees. Astera is by reservation only, check out their Instagram or Tock reservations for collaborations." - Anastasia Sloan
