Not just a meal, an experience! - Edit
My son is an amateur forager, so we had to give Feral a try. I'm so glad we did, because it was a delicious and unique experience.
Read moreIn addition to their foraged ingredients, they are known for their cocktails. I ordered the blackberry seltzer, but was disappointed to learn they were sold out. So the bar tender asked me what I like and created a drink just for me.
The food is served family style. For a party of four, we ordered a beet and strawberry salad, a farro grain salad, asparagus with a cream sauce, pesto pasta, and grilled lion's mane mushrooms with lettuce wraps. When almost every bite of food had been devoured, I realized that I had not taken any photos of the meal. Here are photos of our empty plates, the lettuce for wrapping , and one last bite of lion's mane!
Highly recommend!
Pros: Unique menu, Helpful staff, Date night atmosphere & great 80's new wave music!
Cons: Need to provide serving spoons for family style

Love the atmosphere and changing menu - Edit
There’s new menu items all the time, making it exciting to come back and try new things.
Read moreIt does make ordering a bit of a gamble though, so definitely ask your waiter questions like what’s popular.
The cocktails in my opinion are okay, but I don’t mind since they’re pretty inexpensive.

What a special place - Edit
Came here for a birthday dinner with friends. Everything was so thoughtfully prepared and the service was great. Wish it was closer to home.

Creative and delicious - Edit
The interior is lovely and the menu was quite inventive. I enjoyed the tagliatelle but the crème brûlée stole the show for me.
Read moreI was kind of bummed having to wait an extra 20 minutes after the parties at tables on either side of me got their food to get my dish (we all came in at the same time right when the restaurant opened).

Fabulous and one of a kind - Edit
We’ve been to Feral twice, once for dinner and once for a special brunch event, and both times we had a memorable, delicious meal. It is unlike anything else in Portland with thoughtful, playful dishes. Whether it’s a fancy occasion or a dinner with friends, I highly recommend Feral. My personal favorite is the chips n dip but I’m from Minnesota so of course I love vegan dip!! Mocktails and other drink offerings are a 10/10 as well!!

Cuteee pretty good - Edit
Adorable spot and some cool creative dish concepts. Unfortunately for me several of the things we ordered were okay but kinda bland and I wouldn't get them again
Read moreSeitan schnitzel though.. 5/5 for me, amazing texture and love the herbs and capers. My partner thought it was too lemony but for me there's no such thing

We expected more - Edit
We made a reservation for dinner, which I recommend, as space fill up fast. We tried the grilled focaccia with black garlic butter, the smoky collard greens, the masa dumplings (chochoyotes) and the seitan schnitzel. The collard greens were absolutely amazing—smoky, tangy and the fried onions gave them a delicious crunch! The other dishes were just ok. The schnitzel was kind of tough to cut. The sauce on it was really good but there wasn’t enough to cover it. The dumplings also had a really flavorful sauce, but didn’t have much flavor themselves. The bread was a tasty sourdough focaccia but my partner didn’t like how it had been cut (sliced from the top but now the whole way so you had to awkwardly tear it, but it didn’t tear through the crispy bottom). Overall the food was okay, but we expected more. We might give them another chance in the future. But for fine dining, I would recommend Astera.

Trap Neuter Won't Return - Edit
We didn't have a reservation, so there was only bar seating available. I don't mind sitting at a bar, but our view was a cardboard box and a bucket with fruit flies on the cover.
Read moreThe Chicory Salad included apple slices, shaved white vegan cheddar, parsley, and pear and quince vinaigrette. At first, I was confused why it was served with a knife. I quickly realized the knife was necessary because the chicory was not cut up. It was annoying and cumbersome to try to cut it in the small bowl. I liked the flavor of the cheese, but there was too much smothered on top of the salad. I also liked the dressing, but it couldn't mask the bitterness of the chicory. Overall, not for me. However, my partner enjoyed the Hot Kimchi-Fried Tofu Sandwich.
Note: A 20% "service fee" is automatically added to the bill, but there is still a line to leave a tip.
Tip: Make a reservation.
Pros: all vegan
Cons: 20% "service fee", pricey, parking

Well, that was probably the best meal of my life - Edit
I’d heard of Feral’s reputation as one of the best vegan spots in Portland, but I wasn’t prepared for just how good it all is.
Read moreEvery item on the menu (my group tried nearly everything, lol) was delicious and stood out with a unique flavor profile. The drinks and desserts were creative and so tasty. The vibes inside the restaurant were lovely, too: it all had a thoughtful and inviting feeling without any pretense.
I’ve been vegan for more than a decade and, honestly, this was maybe the best dinner out I’ve ever had. Truly amazing. We’re so lucky to have this place here in Portland.
Pros: Dynamic, seasonal menu, Complex flavors across uniformly delicious dishes, Wonderful, kind staff

elevated dishes - Edit
this was my first time at feral, very nice atmosphere and kind staff. The location is very cute and the options are diverse and tasty. Do not skip dessert—the crème brûlée was fabina. My table got the grape toast, tofu skewer (our favorite), ricotta cavatli, crème brûlée (dessert favorite), and cheesecake.

Best restaurant ever! - Edit
Everything is delicious and fresh. We’ve been here maybe a dozen times this summer, for dinner and brunch, and almost every meal has blown our socks off (the singular exception being the coffee at brunch, which is just okay for someone who prefers a 70:30 ratio with oatmilk). The non-alcoholic cocktails are INCREDIBLE! The atmosphere is cozy and romantic, but without being too self-important. Best for smaller parties - might be okay with a large (6 ) crowd if you plan ahead and reserve. Walk ins for 1-2 people are easy - we’ve never had to wait more than a few minutes without a reservation… though we usually go late (and they might run out of some dishes). The people are such a delight and service is top notch. Can’t recommend enough!
Read morePros: All the foods!, People, Mocktails

Absolutely go here!!! - Edit
The ambiance is a fun amount of elegance without feeling fussy or stuffy, the people working there are super nice and helpful, and OMG the FOOD is just mind-blowing. The cocktails were excellent, too. We went for a special dinner and were so impressed with every dish we had! We had the Bread & Tomato salad; the Berries, Beets, and Basil; the Chilled & Salted Cucumbers with Ajo Blanco; the Fettuccine with Eggplant & Chestnut Mushroom; and the Raspberry Butterscotch Scoop. We wanted to try the creme brulee, but unfortunately they ran out. The dessert we had was great, though. We loved this place so much that we recently returned for their brunch! The brunch did not disappoint. We had the Deep Fried French Toast, the New Potato Hash, and the Summer Benedict. It was all incredibly good, especially the benedict. I feel like this place should be winning awards with how delicious, creative, and unique everything is.

90 minute seating for party of 2 - Edit
There is fine print after you make a reservation stating that the reservation reserves a seat at a table for 90 minutes only. I missed this caveat and we weren’t told while we leisurely ordered our food that we would have to give up the table. Don’t dawdle!! Order your food as quickly as you can. You are at the mercy of the server and kitchen how long it takes the food to come out, and you only have 90 minutes.
Read moreThe experience felt like it came to an abrupt end (when we tried to order a 4th dish and were told, to my surprise, we only had 12 minutes left at the table) to what had been a beautiful evening with wonderful food.
Don’t dawdle!!
Pros: Finer dining experience , Creative dishes with local ingredients
Cons: Communication (tell guest when seated time limit)

Delicious but pricey - Edit
Food menu wasn't big (maybe around 15 items total including four desserts), but what we had—cucumber salad with white gazpacho, tofu skewers, chanterelle polenta, lion's mane mushrooms—were all very good and came in decent portions. Can't comment on the drinks because we only had water, but the menu was extensive. Our bill came to $93 for the four dishes we had sans drinks, which I thought was a little expensive.

Delicious food with amazing staff - Edit
We came here for dinner. We had the potato dumplings and the pasta. Both dishes were incredibly delicious. So many different tastes playing together, it was a culinary experience we appreciated. The staff was very welcoming and fun to banter with. We're looking forward to our next time here.

Perfection - Edit
If you see this soon, order the cavatelli and get dessert. So delicious. They change their menu seasonally, so they’re always creating new dishes around what’s available. Will definitely be back if I’m ever in Portland again.

Best anniversary dinner! - Edit
My partner and I went to Feral to celebrate our anniversary, and I cannot recommend it enough! The food was scrumptious and the staff were SO kind. You can tell that the staff are all working together to make this spot the best it can be. I'll definitely be back, but be warned: you will have a very hard time choosing what you want to eat and may feel internal pressure to get the whole menu!

Best meal in Portland! - Edit
What an incredible dining experience! I’ve had some really good vegan meals in Portland, but nothing came close to this meal. The lions mane mushroom was the best. The fennel au gratin was insanely delicious and the roasted parsnips were perfect. The drinks are no less amazing. Can’t wait to go back again and again.

Wow, Amazing! - Edit
Decided to try Feral the other night, and was blown away! Everything on the menu looked both seasonal and delicious. Decided to start with the Cape Canary cocktail (pictured - tequila, banana liquor, apple, rosemary, cinnamon) and it was… *chef’s kiss* perfection.
Read moreFor dinner, we went with braised leeks (it was very reminiscent of a spinach artichoke gratin), hot fried tofu sandwich, and masa dumplings with grilled maitake mushrooms. And damn… I was blown away!
Already looking forward to making another outing to Feral and trying more delectable delights! #Veganuary
Pros: Seasonal/delicious/inventive food and drink menu, Atmosphere, Friendly staff
