Portland’s Best Special Occasion Restaurants for Vegans and Vegetarians | Eater Portland
"Although tapas revolve largely around meat and seafood, vegans and vegetarians will be pleasantly surprised by this eastside tapas bar. One side of the sprawling dining room is lined with the turquoise-tiled bar, the other with large arched windows. However, once seated, the tables feel intimate, suitable for small groups and date nights. The menu includes a number of vegetable plates, many of which are vegan: hearty tomato-topped toast, fried cauliflower with piri-piri salsa, and pearl couscous Brussels sprouts salad. To accompany the tapas, one of Bar Casa Vale’s three centerpiece paellas comes with seasonal vegetables, radish slices, and microgreens. A highlight of the extensive bar menu is the selection of Iberian-style gin and tonics, served with rosemary, cucumber, and citrus twists." - Waz Wu
