LFK

My wife and I went to LFK to try out their vegan veggie burger. We were pleased to find the menu was clearly labeled and that LFK even had vegan cheese for the burger (so many places just do the vegetarian thing and want to give you real dairy). My wife and I thought the burger was the best one we have ever eaten. They also came with home made tater tots which were amazing. Unlike traditional tater tots they are not greasy (we don't like really rich dripping with fat meals). Food and service were great. Atmosphere is a quirky bar/pub with interesting views of Long Fellow Square.

LFK is a bar a restaurant close to Longfellow Square. They have a great atmosphere with cozy large tables and lots of books scattered through the bar. All the vegetarian options are clearly labeled on the menu, and they have a good variety. I ordered the veggie burger with potatoes, and my husband got the vegan grilled cheese. None of the food was bad, but it was just a little bland for our taste. If you are looking to get a drink and some vegan food, though, this wouldn't be a bad option.

I tried to go on a Saturday early evening, and it was jam packed with people with a bar scene, so I gave up (and went back to Local Sprouts.)

I went back the next morning for the Sunday brunch, which was delightful. When i walked in shortly after opening at 10am, I was the first customer. By 11am, it had really picked up.

I had a VLT, with an added vegan "egg patty" which seemed like crumbled tofu made into a patty. It was tasty enough. The bartender was fantastic: friendly, fast, and just attentive enough.

I would definitely go back, just not during the busy bar nighttimes.

I tried LFK at the beginning of the month. They're great! They're a low key "book bar" which I was told on the DL if your server sees you reading they'll give you a discount. There's a bar to sit at, tables, couches and chairs, and they have a few vegan items on the menu. The owner is vegan, and I believe they're trying to expand and add more to their menu. They have a veggie burger, which if you get it not on the pretzel bun, is vegan. A tempeh BLT with a house made tofu mayo that's delicious. They offer a vegan grilled cheese, salads, house made "tater tots" which are spicy little balls of happiness (they don't use fryers). Their German potato salad is also a good side! I definitely recommend checking it out if you're in Portland!
