"As it settles into its Killingsworth space, this former pop-up is quickly becoming one of Portland’s most compelling vegan restaurants. Small plates like deep fried kimchi with botanical pear “honey” and fennel tartar sauce make prime drinking snacks. Meanwhile, the other half of Feral’s menu consists of chefs August Winningham and Ryan Koger’s vegetable-laden comfort fare, such as hand-rolled noodles with spicy lacto-fermented squash ragu and lemony-savory seitan piccata with chanterelles, hakurei turnips, and cabbage-celeriac puree. Helmed by Soul & Craft’s Kianna Bell, the bar program includes many highlights like the bold rye whiskey based Rich Mahogany that arrives with a sprig of torched rosemary and the tropical Chasing the Sun made with coconut fat-washed cachaca and pineapple rum." - Waz Wu
