If only I could go out to eat three, or more, times a day this week. Veg Week is wrapping up on October 20th and there are so many dishes I have not had yet. Today and tomorrow I will fit in as many as possible of the twenty four featured Veg Week items.
What’s on the menu(s)
The options range from appetizing to the extraordinary and I really wish I could try them all. My mother mentioned cooking a pot of stew the other day and I told her to count me out for home cooking this week. My official Veg Week dining buddy, Susan, who, by the way is ahead of me in Veg Week visits, made clear that any extraneous eating this week was out of the question.
So here are my top two favorites so far, the rice cakes at Revelry in SE and the Carbonara at Ecliptic Brewing in North.
I have also seriously enjoyed the Harvest Chili from Nightlight Lounge, the Chikn, Bakn, Ranch Wrap at Loyal Legion, the Calabacita Enchilada at La Panza, the Breakfast Muffin at DC Veg, the vegetable Ramen at Noraneko and assorted treats at Ichiza Kitchen & Tea House.
With just hours left, there are so many more places to go:
- Aviv
- Off the Griddle
- Kim Jong Smokehouse
- Yen Ha
- Virtuous Pie
- Aybla Mediterranean Grill
- Papa G’s Vegan Organic Deli
- No Bones Beach Club
- Mississippi Pizza Pub & Atlantis Lounge
- Grand Army Tavern
- Water Avenue Coffee
- Next Level Burger
- Le Bistro Montage
- Xico
- Dinger’s Deli
- Sasquatch Brewing Company (NW Taproom)
Bonus
At each stop I have enjoyed assorted sides, beverages and treats. A shout out to the gyoza at Ichiza, house-made ginger ale at Revelry and salted chocolate chip cookies at DC Veg.
Being vegan is amazing and rewarding. This week in Portland makes it even more exciting! Let me know which Veg Week items you have tried and what you thought.
The Culmination
This weekend is time for the Portland Vegfest, https://nwveg.org/vegfest-event-info/, to finish off this week of plant based delight! I hope to see you there.

Since then, she's been delighted to assist clients in navigating the ever changing housing market: whether selling a first home or the family home, looking for a starter pad or a forever habitat, downsizing, resizing or buying and selling investment property.
Having a symbiotic connection with your real estate agent is key and will help ensure a great experience. Bonnie enjoys consulting with potential clients to discover their wishes and goals, confirming the right client-agent match.
Smooth transactions are the target; however, there can be unexpected bumps getting to the closing table. Bonnie excels at finding creative solutions to any mishegoss that pops up and she takes pride in an extremely low sale fail rate.
A little more about Bonnie: born in Philly, raised in Berkeley, mom to an incredible young woman; her home is filled with both furry and scaly creatures, the daily driver is all electric, equality is the only pathway; she's embraced veganism for the earth, the animals and her health.
