Portland’s Exciting New Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurants | Eater Portland

"At its Clinton Street location, this former pop-up showcases the remarkable range of rustic Turkish cuisine through its meze, dips, and pide (flatbread). Lokanta is not a vegan or vegetarian restaurant, but there’s an artistry to how Umut Matkap crafts his vegetable plates. The move is to order a variety, from the silky fava pate and smoky deep red muhammara, to the savory-sweet caramelized onion stuffed garbanzo dumplings and bulgur patties balanced delicately on lettuce wraps, then nibble your way through the spread, while sipping on glasses of raki (licorice-flavored spirit). Lokanta is open for takeout, delivery, and sidewalk dining." - Waz Wu
