Epif

The Best Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurants in Portland | Eater Portland

"Built around a giant tree limb, Epif offers a vegan twist on South American fare. Pepe Arancibia slings small plates like baked empanadas with house ají verde salsa, apple bocadillo with tempeh crumbles and jalapeño-Honee, and sopaipillas — fried pumpkin bread that’s also drizzled with apple juice-based vegan honey. Explicitly focused on pisco, the bar serves infusions of the spirit in flavors like chamomile and cucumber as well as cocktails like the jalapeño pisco sour. The warm, intimate dining room — accented with repurposed materials, an antique front door from Peru, and a colorful mural depicting a magical llama — makes for an excellent date night spot on 28th Avenue’s restaurant row." - Anastasia Sloan
