Delicious Feel-good Food

Love Daily Fuel! The food is great quality, healthful, filling, and delicious. The husband and wife duo who own and run it are entertaining. Just a solid place for anyone to eat!

The only thing we didn’t like was the “Beastly Nachos” - just WAY too many ingredients, too much going on, not enough cheese, and comically gigantic. A smaller nacho option with more carefully curated traditional toppings would be very popular I’m sure.

Pros: 100% vegan, Thoughtful and tasty dishes, Healthy-ish if you don’t think about the oil 😆

Cons: Nachos need to be downsized

Really yummy

Really good food with yummy sauces (creamy spicy chipotle, anyone??). and good, hefty portions. I’ve only been here twice and loved it both times. Look forward to trying the rest of their menu.

Pros: It’s ALL Vegan. Fantastic, high standards!, The people are lovely!, Flavor. Flavor!!

Cons: A couple veg were burnt-but I ate ‘em anyway., I wish I could eat here daily!!

Eat here if you're in Portland!

eal food made by real people. An amazing healthy twist on vegan comfort food. The dishes are loaded with vegetables and flavor. We had the comfy bowl, the power bowl, the pesto burger, and milkshakes and everything tasted incredible! It's the best vegan restaurant we've ever been to!

Pros: Food, The owners - husband/wife team, Atmosphere

Great food with of tons of variety on the menu

I had the Buffalo Mac and “Cheese” with “blue cheese” crumbles, and it was outstanding! The meal did not leave me feeling overstuffed like other vegan mac and cheese substitutes, likely because the owners favor whole ingredients.

Exceptionally good food

This was one of the highest quality meals I’ve had in a long time. The Harvester was terrific- special consideration must be given to their blackened grilled lentil tempeh- fantastic. I very much enjoyed one of their shakes with a cheeky bit of CBD added in. They were also kind enough to let me sample their vegan cheese which was lovely too.

Pros: Friendly, generous staff

Fantastic find, Great Food and Nice People

Took a weekend trip up to Portland to visit friends and this was our pick for dinner.
We picked it right! The couple running this place is working hard, preparing good food with a nice menu.

One warning: the Nacho plate was delicious but, it can't possibly be meant for one person. I mean, I can eat and I love to eat but, I needed help from others at the table and we still didn't finish it... Ha! this is my kind of problem.

Nice atmosphere but yet it's order at the counter style.

Also I would recommend the electrolyte drink. delicious.

Pros: Really nice flavors, Friendly owners, Great location

Just go! You won't be disappointed.

This place offers a well-rounded vegan menu, which is predominantly gluten free. Outstanding and kind service from authentic AF individuals who are clearly passionate about the service they provide.

Having your dog along does not mean you can't enjoy an excellent dining experience here. Does your pupper need a towel to lay on? Covered. A nice cool drink of water? It's at the ready.

I've ordered the dude burger and the birria style tacos. Everything has been delicious and plated to a high standard. Go support these folks while you nourish yourself.

Pros: Food, Service, Dog-Friendly

Cons: Nada!

Brilliant

This is exactly the sort of vegan place I want. It's hard core 100% vegan and one of the few places in the US I can feel happy , proud and confident. I chose a shake and Mac & Cheese. Both were exceptional.. like truly out of the ball park. Meat eaters need to come here and discover the truth.

Pros: All vegan , Great owner who is passionate , The Mac & Cheese OMG

Cons: NOTHING.

Top Nachos - Fresh Food

Daily fuel is quite a unique restaurant with a dark, modern interior. The owners are strong personalities, who are passionate about their food and fun to talk to.

The nachos here are colorful and delicious. The portion size is huge and definitely enough for two people. I recommend coming here and trying the nachos.

Pros: All vegan, Great nachos

We eat whole food plant based at home but usually have to settle for vegan on the road. We were excited to find Daily Fuel! It did not disappoint!

A good Try

We had the bowl of potatoes and jalapeño poppers. Vegan cheese isn’t my thing but this was still good. I chose the parts with less cheese while my husband ate the cheesier areas. The first jalapeño poppers that came out appeared to have a long hair coming off it that we only seen when snapping a photo. The place is so dark and we wouldn’t have seen it if I wasn’t taking photos. I informed the staff and the cook, possible owner, grabbed the bowl and put it under the hooded light and picked it up with his bare hands and said “look it’s the just the skin of the jalapeño, it’s not a hair” I responded that I couldn’t see what he was talking about super confused and thrown back by the way it was being handled. The man then asked his co-worker “do you see anything?” Looked at me and said “so we’re good do you still want them?” I kindly apologized and said no. Even said it’s okay you don’t have to take them off and he insisted on remaking them. Bottom line he made it right by remaking them. They were good but still left myself and husband feeling like customer service needs work. We had literally spent days in Portland reviewing all the vegan restaurants and I should’ve just showed him the photo but at that point I felt like it would’ve been more awkward.

Very filling !

We tried the power bowls and they were tasty and very filling - lots of potatoes, more than we expected! We also got cheesy potatoes and my friend got the dude burger which had great caramelized onion. Portions are very large and the food is dense. Good for after strenuous exercise.

Best vegan food in Portland? Definitely a contender.

Y’all. I cannot even express how delightful their food is. The price point and portion sizes are incredible for what you get, and you can tell that Georgette and Dax take such great pride in their craft and being part of the community. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious and I love that everything is made mindfully and with health consciousness at the forefront. The flavors are out of this world and I never feel sluggish or guilty after absolutely gorging myself.

I’ve been 6 times so far and will continue to go every chance I get. I cannot say enough good things.

Pro tip: just get the beastly nachos. You know you want to and they will rock your world. Their birria tacos and jalapeño poppers are also absolutely insane.

Go eat at Daily Fuel. Have your mind blown. Repeat. #Veganuary

Pros: Health conscious, Freaking delicious, Good selection of food

Unique favors and choices

Beautiful interior, modern, artistic, urban. Check out the mural, wall paneling and fabulous chairs. Food is generous, flavorful and menu is varied and accommodates many needs, all vegan! Owners are friendly, dedicated and all around awesome. We had a lentil tempeh sandwich and the Dude Mac n’cheese which had vegetables too. The “cheeze” sauce just might be the best in town.

Pros: Many choices , Ambiance , Healthy “comfort” food.

Cons: It’s not located in my neighborhood., It’s not in my driveway. , I live beyond delivery area.

Exactly what your body needs..

Great comfort food without all the preservatives.. it’s literally all about the plants. Nothing processed. Their food house queso really is tasty. Be prepared for a feast when ordering the nachos.. the chilli and jackfruit are a great combination..

Pros: Nachos , Ambiance

Get the nachos!

I haven't been here in a quite a while and am so pleased I went back. The prices haven't changed dramatically, which was a nice surprise, and we all left full. The nachos are so good-full of healthy, delicious food but not something so simple you could make at home. I've always loved the food here but struggled with some attitude from the owner. I'm pleased to say there was none of that and we had a pleasant experience. I'm definitely adding back to my rotation.

healthy and tasty vegan cuisine

I recently went to Daily Fuel. I got to meet the owners who are a couple who run Daily Fuel together. They are both chefs. Upon one of the owner's recommendations I went with the Sweet Heat Bowl. It is only available Oct to March and is his favorite thing on the menu.

It delivered and was very good. The Sweet Heat Bowl comes with a baked sweet potato, several grains, chickpeas, Brussels sprouts, sun dried tomatoes sweet onions, coconut cream, oat milk, peanut butter, ginger, garlics, spices, chili peppers, maple syrup and fresh rosemary and hemp seeds.

Daily Fuel feels cozy with soft lighting inside.

It was nourishing and healthy. Recommended checking out Daily Fuel. Friendly staff and support local businesses!

Pros: healthy and tasty vegan cuisine
