The Lighting Bar Collective’s bars offer vegans plenty of meatless dishes to pair with their cocktails and beers, but Victoria Bar rises to the top of the LBC brunch hierarchy: The menu includes dishes like “chicken” and waffles, breakfast burritos, and French toast with berry compote on the weekends from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Brunch drinks include a vegan bloody mary and a Stumptown cold brew cocktail with coconut cream. This dog-friendly neighborhood spot offers indoor dining and outdoor patio seating.

This newcomer on Mississippi specializes in vegan comfort foods with Southwestern flair like bourbon burgers and fried chicken with sawmill gravy. The main attraction at South x Northwest’s Sunday brunch is all-you-can-eat pancakes: starting at $10, the restaurant stacks extra fluffy pancakes and drenches them in maple syrup, with the option of adding berry compote, whipped cream, and meatless sausage links. Savory items rotate through “chicken” and waffles, grits with fried okra and andouille mushroom caps, and tofu quiche with collards and jojos. Brunch-goers can sip on bottomless coffee, watermelon mimosas, and Rachel’s Ginger Beer. Open for indoor and outdoor dining, the restaurant serves brunch on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2.pm.

In addition to its original cafe among the boutiques and thrift shops of Hawthorne, Harlow now has a second location on NW 23rd, channeling the same homey, vintage-chic vibes accented by leafy plant. The daily menu includes a handful of gluten-free brunch dishes, like mushroom scallion biscuits with tempeh gravy and roasted veggie-spinach-kale scramble drizzled with chipotle cashew hollandaise. While Harlow offers eggs on some dishes, vegans can opt for smoky tempeh or seasoned jackfruit instead. Both restaurants offer indoor and outdoor dining, online ordering, and delivery.

Adorned with hanging plants and tropical accents, Hey Love is one of the most photogenic dining rooms in town, especially for brunch.

Available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends, brunch includes a mango basil seed parfait with coconut whip, grits with barbecue sauce and watercress pineapple salad, and squash ganoush with crispy chickpeas and vegan feta. The Burnside bar offers a few outdoor tables, but the best seats in the house are inside at a comfy booth.

The worker-owned, Sri Lankan pop-up-turned-restaurant that made waves in Portland last year has recently started serving brunch, and it’s quickly become a hit.

Diners choose from eggy veggie scrambles, layered hoppers, kiribath sticky coconut milk rice cakes, and coconut roti flatbread, accompanied by passionfruit mimosas, Impossible breakfast sausage, and banana bread as potential add-ons. Mirisata serves brunch on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for patio dining, takeout, and delivery.

This bustling cafe is a brunch stalwart, satisfying both vegan and omnivores. Available daily, the no-fuss menu includes standbys like brunch wraps, huevos rancheros, and French toast.

For drinks, diners can choose from an assortment of bloody marys and customizable mimosas.

For Sunday brunch, Alley Mezza offers a vegan spin on a range of Southwest Asian and North African breakfast foods, including Kuwaiti-style shakshuka of onions and tomatoes, Iraqi clotted silken tofu “cream” with reduced apple juice “honey,” and Iranian kuku sabzi herbed omelet with kala namak black salt for a sulphuric finish. To round out the meal, pros know to order warm flatbread or roasted potatoes with chermoula, with hibiscus iced tea and rose syrup “milk” to sip alongside the meal. Those seeking something stronger can visit the nearby Someday for wine and cocktails. Brunch starts at 11 a.m. until sold out, in addition to its regular meze offerings.

Even though Off The Griddle began as a veggie burger food cart, the wide variety of brunch plates — from jackfruit brisket hash to mushroom stuffed waffles to brunch wrap supreme — are what draws Portland vegans to the cheery cafe.

There are several vegan beverages like bloody marys, Arnold Palmers, and kimosas (half kombucha, half juice). Available for dine in and online ordering, brunch runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.
