I have never had less than exceptional food and service. The only thing that sucks is having to choose what to eat. Hands down the best vegan restaurant I've ever been to- nearly the best any restaurant in my opinion. I've been in the food service industry 25 years and I can say they are doing it right! read more

Beautiful cocktails, delicious food. Enjoyed myself. Was seated in a table near the window, ordered 4 items to share and cocktails. Highlights; carrot hollandaise served with broccoli, nettle risotto & the rhubarb cocktail. Only critique was the Lions mane mushroom entree was difficult to cut and eat. My dinner date was put off by the mass & texture of it. Perhaps cut in strips & prepared in the style of Trippa alla fiorentina could make this ingredient amazing. Overall great night. read more

Feral - Vegan Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This place is amazing, and I highly recommend it for anyone who's either vegan or plant based or a foodie who's into the farm to table vibe. I went with two other people. We ordered five items to share. We had to take leftovers home, so I would say 4 dishes for three people would've been better. But it was just really hard to choose because everything looked amazing. My favorite items by far were the Chantelle chowder and the watermelon radishes. The tortellini soup reminded me of a Ramen broth, but with tortellini in it instead of Ramen noodles. The table next to me ordered the kimchi and chips, and I wish I had ordered it, but usually kimchi is too spicy for me so that's why I didn't. I think they even ferment the kimchi there. I'll definitely order that when I go back. My least favorite item was the barbecue tempeh, and that was mainly because of the soft consistency of the tempeh. But the celery root mash that came with it was delicious. The service was exceptional. The bathrooms were clean and nice. And I highly recommend this place and will definitely be going back. read more

One of the absolute best places for food and this is coming from a New Yorker. Everything was unique and super tasty. I don't think I've ever had anything that tasted like this in my life. Everything we had was absolutely divine and I don't even think I can describe the flavors. You can tell the chef knew what he was doing. 100% recommend everything and the staff was super sweet. The ambiance itself is very Portland. By the end you'll be so full you can't walk but you'll have to come back every season since their menu changes. read more

Been eyeing this spot last few years and finally got to go yesterday for a special occasion. From the moment we were seated, all the way to the end when one of the staff reminded us we left our leftover box, service was amazing. Our experience was made even better because of the food. We ordered four items and each dish was on point. Their tartine is to die for. I love how creative they were in making pate out of tofu, and my partner loved it so much he saved the last bite for the end of dinner. We also ordered the fried tofu sandwich, fettuccine with chanterelle and the succotash. Each of these were a sizable portion for the price paid. And each delivered on unique flavors. The succotash is a unique blend of grains and seasonable vegetables and has a more toned down, 'taste the veggies you're eating' flavor. It's ingredients are cooked to perfection and provide a nice crunch and cleanser to all the other dishes. Meanwhile their tofu sandwich is bomb. It's humongous and delivers on impact and flavor. The sauce can be a little sweet for some but I thought it was perfect. Lastly their fettuccine was scrumptious and creamy. I read on the menu their sauce incorporate zucchini, which is pretty unique. And those chanterelles were cooked to perfection. There's only two incredibly minor points to make the experience even cooler: - more creative non-alcoholic drinks - more non-conventional dessert options The savory food however was the focus of our meal so we didn't mind. Plus, as we were eating, we were also eyeing everything else the tables next to us were ordering and those dishes looked good. We will definitely need to be back to try to remaining menu. read more

Glad we managed to come back and enjoy the summer menu offerings. No cocktail menu right now but folks at the table next to us tried the n/a Negroni which looked delightful. Food came out family style (one dish at a time, as they were ready) which is perfect for sharing and tasting multiple dishes. The broccoli basil risotto was my favorite with bright green color and tons of flavor. My partner loved the lions mane and seitan milanesa. I'd never heard of such a thing, it's similar to a deep fried cutlet with delicious sauces. No rush this time, we had 5:30 reservations and it wasn't super slammed that early on a summer Saturday night. read more

I'm not vegan but this is my favorite restaurant. The food here is some of the best food I've had. I understand the art of cooking vegetables... cause it is an art. They really show off here. Seasonal and delicious. Every dish has its own personality and is packed with flavor. The savory dishes are amazing but the deserts are to die for. Their cocktails are also delish! I highly recommend this place vegan or not. It's amazing. The restaurant it self is small but it has a lot of character and charm. Plants everywhere. The service was good too! They make sure you table to clean for the next dish to come out. read more

Feral - All that needs to be said. - Vegan Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Feral had been living on my "need to try" list for AGES so I was grateful when a friend suggested this spot for our next group outing! We definitely decided a bit too late for a reservation so we just showed up a bit early and grabbed some seats at the bar. Service was super friendly and worked with us while we waited for one other friend to arrive. We opted to share things so we could try a mix of items and I grabbed a cocktail as well. The Hey Jealousy was pretty darn tasty and I would get it again; not too sweet! Foodwise we got the focaccia, the cabbage rolls, the grilled tofu, and the mushroom steak. The focaccia was chonky -- crispy outside, soft inside, loved the beans on the side to dip away. The cabbage rolls were hearty and savory, delicious overall. Now the grilled tofu was my favorite -- loved the sauce, the greens, how fresh and light it was A+. I actually thought I'd love the mushroom steaks the most because 1. I love mushrooms and 2. I love fries l o l This dish was good but not my favorite because the demiglace didn't really bring that umami depth that I expected and all you could really taste was smoke from the tomato relish. The fries were great, but you'd have to try hard to make me hate a potato product. All in all this place was a delight and I'm glad that there's such a cute and hospitable vegan spot for people to try! read more

So so good!! We made a reservation for wednesday at 7:30pm and it was pretty busy! Parking was fairly easy to find. Our waiter was super kind. Hiighlyy recommend getting the Crispy Fried Lions Mane!! The lion made mushroom texture is meat-y and the sauce!! We were licking it off our forks. Get the Truffled Arancini!! It was so good - crispy outside and savory, warm inside. Grilled sprouting broccoli was soo good as well. It has a wonderful sauce on it. The cheesecake might be mixed. I did like it but I could see it not being liked. Also, we used the inkind app to get $30 off $90 spent. read more

*Non vegan review* This place is a tad bit too pretentious for me. Definitely an upscale atmosphere, dark lounge bar type lighting. The menu is very adventurous & creative which I like w/ vegan food as veggie burgers or just entrees replaced w/ tofu don't really do it for me. I went w/ the lions mane mushroom which I didn't realize they prepared sort of korean style w/ lettuce wraps. It was grilled w/ a salty soybean paste used in Korean lettuce wraps but the flavor was too strong for me, usually we just put a tiny dab in our lettuce wraps. Also there was no rice or other sides like grilled garlic cloves or jalapeño slices. The texture was good, very meaty and I enjoyed the first 4 or 5 bites but after that it was just too salty and plain without any other sides. I still had about 3/4 left which I took home but couldn't get myself to finish as it didn't taste nearly as good reheated the next day. I think if you are wanting to try this dish you should share w/ at least 2-3 other ppl. read more

A friend & I visited Feral today for their special Mother's Day brunch menu & were treated to clean, vibrant dishes reasonably portioned & priced, attentive yet non-intrusive service, & an overall very pleasant atmosphere. Both of us are vegan but I'm definitely bringing my omnivorous parents to Feral on their next visit as they enjoy eating at vegan restaurants that offer "real" food & Feral delivers. Portland has numerous vegan/vegan-friendly restaurants but the ratio of plant-forward restaurants versus those serving vegan junk food is definitely off in my opinion. I appreciate that Feral focuses on local produce & minimal waste while also having a regularly changing menu due to what's in season. Thank you for being here, Feral! You're a gem. read more

Enjoyed our dinner experience at Feral. The dishes were well crafted and the flavors are also good for a fully Vegan menu. My personal favorite was the Summer Tartine - the toast was perfectly crisp and topped with a flavorful tofu pâté. The ambiance is pleasant overall though it did feel that the tables were a bit too close together, which made private conversations a bit tricky. That aside, the service staff was excellent. They add a mandatory 20% service charge to the bill. Additional tips are optional. Got to know that their menu changes frequently based on what's in season so there's always something new to look forward to. Parking on the street can be a tight during peak evening hours and weekends but not impossible. One thing that fell short was the lack of any acknowledgement for the birthday we mentioned while booking through Resy. It's a small gesture that can go a long way especially when other restaurants at this price range often go the extra mile to recognize special occasions and some even offer a dessert. Overall still a great spot for some delicious and fully Vegan food. Would definitely recommend making a reservation. read more

The food here is consciously made, and they use whole ingredients to make their dishes. I like coming here because they have an ample option of gluten-free options and also they switch their menu around so you come back and you get to try new things. I feel like Feral is a homegrown Oregon restaurant if that makes sense. It's a vibe of a like a date night, solo date, or fun outing with friends. read more

We tried out this spot for apps and bevvies. Bartender recommended Raab salad with green goddess dressing and roasted broccoli with carrot kumquat confit. Both were remarkably delicious and the beet drop cocktail was perfect. read more

My mom and I came here when she was visiting from out of town as it was within walking distance of our Airbnb. Neither of us are vegan, but we love trying out vegan food experiences. We had two NA drinks, the Scarlet and the Citrine which were both amazing, multidimensional NA drinks. We shared the bean cassoulet, agnolotti pasta, and seitan schnitzel. Our favorite was the pasta hands down. It was filled with tofu cheese and also had kohlrabi and we gobbled it up! Our server was Hannah and she was incredibly attentive, helpful, and kind. The vibe is upscale but not pretentious. We were dressed casually along with some other patrons while there was a party that was dressed up. Love how cozy it feels without feeling crowded. I would definitely go back! read more

Oh my broken vegan plant based heart. I was BEYOND excited to go to Feral. Plant based, seasonal rotating menu... Sounds familiar in the Portland area. The menu sounds interesting and exciting when we check it out. But that's where the interest ended sadly. The good, which is the two stars for me: the mixologist who crafted the cocktail menu is simply genius. She knows how to curate a cocktail and mix flavors to bring you something unique. That's where unique ended. The bad: our "server," I think, which initially I was confused about as I thought she was working in the bar area, looked a lot like Sophia Bush, with green tips on her hair. She was friendly but not good. We asked for water at least 4 times, the third time which I brought the water bottle TO the bar on my way to the restroom and asked for water. She wasn't attentive. She was nice but that's where the service ended. The food runners did their job. We got food and eventually water. (No stars given.) When we arrived or friends had already ordered MaLa fries. Which were described as "fried russets, spicy numbing Sichuan peppercorn & porcini spice mix, black sesame fry sauce." Now let me first say this. 3/4 people in our group raved on this dish. I did not. Not a huge fan of russets when there are golden potatoes, yellow Potatoes, purple sweet potatoes and more. But let me be CLEAR. NOTHING was spicy or numbing. Nothing. It was okay. The best part of that dish was 1000% the black sesame fry sauce. It had a tartness and acidity to it that was beautiful. Honestly, THIS was the most memorable taste of the evening. Next, we ordered the Leeks Gratin which was described as "leek top sofrito, cheese, preserved lemon, braised leeks, Vtopian aged cheese, crushed and fried walnuts." Now let me say the (what I'd call dip,) dip beneath the leek on top, was nice. But y'all... How do you eat it? It feels like a spinach and artichoke dip. Looks like it. But the flavor just falls flat. As does the texture. The walnuts are more decorative than for taste. Try fried garlic or shallots, flavor. Acid. Texture. Oh Lord it was mush. It needed bread or pita or chips or something to dip into. This isn't a knife and fork dish. Two of us ordered the Hot Tofu Fried Tofu Sandwich. Which is described as "savory jus, brined, battered and fried OTA tofu, hot apple honee, fermented squash, habanero and cabbage slaw, holykraut pickles, served on a house made bun." Now 2/4 of us thought this was good. This to me yet flavor and texture but when I read the description, my mouth waters. I think this sounds SO spicy. This sounds crispy (bun, pickles, cabbage,) and acidic (slaw,) and crunchy (fried tofu.) NO spice. No crisp. No acid. No crunch!!!! How?!?! It was okay. But HOW?!? This could have been fire. Excellent. But it was okay. WHY?!?! I ordered Braised White Beans & Winter Vegetables "julienned kohlrabi, celery root and parsnip tossed in lemon butter and bay vinaigrette, served with charcoal grilled brainfood bread." Now let me take an aside. I'm a super taster and super smeller. I tasted beans. There was a crunch on occasion with what I believe was kohlrabi. I had 0 lemon or parsnip or vinaigrette. The absolute STAR of this fish e was the bread. Which isn't made in house. It was delicious. My friend had the Black Sesame Tagliatelle with Parsley and Wilderess Sauce Verte described as "roasted cauliflower, hazelnut & preserved lemon crumble, shaved aged cheese, green olives." It was green pasta. I saw the sesame seeds and olives. I didn't taste them. I didn't taste hazelnut. It was okay but didn't have anything memorable. Here's the thing. Nothing was memorable. Nothing was excellent. It was all like the chef played it safe. Nothing was GREAT or OUTSTANDING. There is so much opportunity here. Make the dishes stand out. Give the finished dish shine. Don't play it safe. Go big. The vegan and plant based community here has a lot of offerings if Feral is going to last, it needs to give us something unique. And playing it safe won't do that. I love the decor, the set up, the vibe, their social media. But I didn't love the food. read more

I can't wait until I live in Portland permanently so I can enjoy this restaurant regularly. The food is AMAZING!!!!!!

I came to Feral with a group of friends, we like to check out vegan restaurants on a monthly basis. I was excited to try them out based on what I saw on the menu a friend shared with me, it all looked so amazing! I got to the restaurant a tad late due to traffic being so bad. Normally it takes me half hour to get to this part of town, it took 45 minutes. I couldn't find super close parking, so had to walk a little ways. When I got to the restaurant, I saw my group of friends and headed to the table. I wasn't greeted by the staff. My friends had already started ordering. Wait staff was bringing drinks out to my friends, but didn't ask if I needed anything. So I waved someone over. I got a zero proof cocktail, I think it was the Holly, it was delicious! I ordered a pasta stuffed with maitake mushrooms in a savory broth, because I love maitake mushrooms! Don't get me wrong, I did slurp down every sip of broth and ate every morsel of pasta, well except for the few bites I doled out to friends that wanted to try this dish. It just didn't knock my socks off. Surprisingly, I tried bites of different dishes, and my favorite was the peanut butter and jelly cabbage. I'd go back for that dish alone! That and the zero proof cocktail! I have to say that the restaurant was nicely decorated very much a date night feel to it. Fun place to gather with friends! read more

Incredible food that is great for sharing. I love that they hit a wide range of price points for both food and cocktails. Exquisite deserts. Captivating and quirky vegan dishes that elevate the produce without obscuring it. Service was fine; I'm bewildered how many who left negative reviews seem to treat dining out as a server pageant. read more

Elevated vegan is a tall order. It requires a great deal of skill and imagination to execute correctly. Most of us vegans have low expectations, we prepare for the worst and hope for the best. I'm an especially tough customer as a plant-based eater of 40 years and after spending 30 years cooking for some of Seattle's best chefs. When I sit down for a meal out, I can always tell where chefs have taken shortcuts, chosen cheaper ingredients or have been forced to dumb it down for the "warm bodies" on the line just to get a plate to the table... There was none of that at Feral. These folks REALLY know what they're doing. Far beyond just the taste, our meal had emotion. Every-single-thing was a bullseye. I was transported to that other dimension, where I forget where I am on the earthly plane as I sipped the brodo. I have not yet recovered from the stun that bestowed me as I enjoyed the tortelloni dish. I'm still floating, I feel like I'm dreaming and I must have more of that in my life. It was perfect. A note to all who venture here, finish the broth. Our server mentioned that many eaters leave it in the bowl, which is just not right. Don't pick out the chunky stuff and deprive yourself, sip it mindfully and slowly... it is magic. A true work of art. Unless you are abstaining from true happiness, eat the brodo. The leek fondue was DECADENT. Loved it so much. Beans on toast, nearly sent us over the edge of stuffness, but we have since recovered and have no regrets. The service was superb. Staff were welcoming and present. It felt like everyone truly enjoyed being there. The perfect pairing for fabulous food is the good vibe the crew brings to the experience. The mocktail (the Scarlet) was the REAL DEAL. It's not an easy task to create an NA experience with depth and so many interesting layers. Nailed it. I appreciate the thoughtfulness. I only got one pic, the Scarlet, my face was plunged into the food from the moment the first plate hit the table. Feral will be a priority when we visit Portland from now on. read more

Everything we ate was YUMMY but not satisfying. Was a bit of a vegan stereotype, in that way. We ordered 3 dishes between my partner and i and we were still very hungry by the end.

Took a party of six (we're trying new vegan restaurants as a group each month) to Feral - it was soooo good. The Lion's mane cordon bleu was a hit with everyone and big enough to share. The fried kimchi tasted like fish and chips to me (even though it's vegan), the batter was just perfect. The fried tofu was delicious, the peanut butter jelly cabbage was the only dish that didn't "wow" me but was still good, and was a fav of someone else in our group. Everyone was happy with the food - definitely up there in terms of the list of great vegan restaurants in Portland - give them a try for sure! read more

When I visit Portland, Feral is my first priority. I absolutely love this restaurant. The owners definitely have a love for the craft of vegan cuisine that you can feel as soon as you enter the restaurant and even more so once you try their food. I love seeing the varieties of fermentations they have jarred behind the bar that make you curious of what menu item they are composing next. As well as seeing books by the bar, such as Tartine and Masa, that make you know that the chefs research and understand fundamentals to create new and exciting dishes. They serve each dish to be shared at the table, which I love so everyone can try everything and make the experience more social. The dishes are dynamic in flavor and texture and never one dimensional. They use fresh farm and foraged ingredients that you can tell are handled with care and utilized to their fullest. Do not come here expecting the usual vegan impossible burger or buddha bowl like other places, but a unique flavorful experience of elevated vegan culinary art in a cozy ambience. Occasionally a new dish may not be perfect but it will always be delicious nonetheless. They have been slammed and busy when I have visited, but their team makes sure to always take care of you to the best of their abilities. Thank you to the hardworking amazing team at Feral for this gem of a restaurant! read more

I'm not vegan, but our son and best friend are, so we went to their favorite restaurant. My take: meat is not necessary to make a great meal! We were totally captivated by their menu and ambience. The craft cocktails and mocktails are outstanding and beautiful! The plated dishes are small enough to order several and share, which is what we did. I must say that if you read the detailed description of the dishes on the menu, you can expect those flavors to present themselves in the dish. I really can't say what was my favorite of the 8 entrees we ordered that night, because they were all dynamic, and since the menu is always changing, I can't recommend any specific dish, but if anything involves lions mane mushroom, grab it! The staff treats you like you are family, and everyone is active to make the dinning experience great. Again, I'm not vegan, but this place is one of my must stops next time in Portland. read more

My first vegan restaurant and it certainly did not disappoint! I had the house-made Fettuccine with eggplant cream and it was a really large portion and absolutely delicious!
