Fiona and Joby’s Guidebook
Food and Drink
Most of our food experience is as two vegans, but the list below includes both vegan-friendly and a few seafood/non-vegan-friendly spots that we know our friends love. None of the places below are fully vegan/vegetarian. But there are really too many great restaurants to list, so we also recommend this great resource for more recommendations: www DOT portlandfoodmap DOT com
