Incredible

I loved this place. Truly unreal flavors and service. I’m so glad there’s a vegan place open so late at night downtown… weirdly though, it wasn’t filled with people there to try the food, mostly bar hoppers! Depending on your vibe it has what you want!

The burger was unreallll. The mozzarella sticks were insane!!! I want to go again and again!!

Pros: Food , Filling , Flavorful

Cons: Ambiance (very bar-y. Could be your vibe!)

Super cute bar

Serve yourself, bar and restaurant in a hotel with a real cute  interior.  we ordered a couple different of the vegan plates and shared them along with a few drinks. 

Pros: Small plates, Pretty interior, Nice drink selection

Cons: Kind of pricey, Serve yourself

Unbelievable Food

The food is incredible. Been here twice and have been blown away both times. Just amazing flavours and good quality food. The portions have felt significant and it’s seriously one of my favorite restaurants. This time we just got the mozzarella sticks and the Mac sampler. The variety on the flavours of Mac and cheese was good and hands down the best mozzarella sticks we’ve ever had. Highly recommend you check this place out. It can get busy and club like late at night. They serve food late!

Live jazz on Wednesdays

On Wednesdays, they have live jazz starting at 8pm - which is when I arrived. It was a chill vibe, (when I visited) 3 musicians, and from what I could tell if you have your instrument handy, they may even accept you into the group for a few songs/solos. On the Wednesday in early October that I went, there was only about 15 folks there max. Definitely no line out the door.

I came back late on a Saturday night, and there was a line out the door and loud DJ music that made it impossible to hold a conversation. Definitely a different vibe.

The first bite of my bacon jam & guyere burger was pure heaven. I savored every bite… until the sugar hit my bloodstream. I loved it, but it ultimately was too sweet for my pallet.

Pros: Unique burger toppings, Pick your vibe (jazz, DJ, or quiet)

Drooling

Stayed at the Sentinel Hotel specifically because Fortune was inside. Ate the tenders every night like I was in my early twenties coming back from partying starving 😂 So good! The rosemary garlic fries are huge and so tasty. Highly recommend.

Pros: Tenders, Rosemary Garlic Fries

Cons: Virtually no N/A beverages , Pretty dark atmosphere

100% plant based 100% Delicious

Great bartender, super friendly & gave great recommendations on their menu as well as other local vegan eateries. I truly couldn't decide between this burger and the Pesto Mac and cheese. Next time I'm in town I'll try that with the brownie and ice cream.

The burger was quite large even for my big mouth so I ate 1 onion ring separately. I did not want to smash down that fluffy beautiful bun. The jam added a touch of sweet & I don't think I've ever had bacon jam (real or faux).

Side note on the burger patty, I believe they could fool a meat eater with this one.


Truly delicious and filling.

Pros: Flavor~ Jam & sauce, Potion, Ambiance

Great food and cocktails

Simply amazing and gorgeous cocktails. Three kind of Mac and cheese to choose from, so we tried two. Mozzarella sticks are crunchy and incredibly cheesy. Bakon wrapped dates are indescribably decadent. Bakon jam & Gruyere burger is a sweet and savory messy delight. Friendly staff and nice quiet atmosphere.

Fortunate Find

I ordered the Crispy Chikun Burger, which is panko and herbs de provence crispy chikun, romesco, butter lettuce, pickles, and herbed aioli on a potato bun served with fries and ketchup. The burger was good, but messy. The fries were crispy and seasoned.

Pros: all vegan, big portions

Cons: can be busy

Shockingly great bar food

Worth going just for the food when they open and it’s quieter and less busy. Great hidden gem downtown!

Updated from previous review on 2024-01-21

Pros: Bakon Jam & Gruyere Burger = best burger in town, Bakon Wrapped Dates & Mozzarella Sticks, Mac & Cheeze

Cons: All chick’n items surprisingly bland on inside, Chick’n Parm is especially dry & bland, Sometimes out of key ingredients on slow days

Super impressed

I wasn't sure if I could take an omni here based on some of the reviews but the food was so good! I was super skeptical about the bacon wrapped dates especially because most vegan bacon isn't that realistic to me but this was great! Everything was tasty and atmosphere was relaxed but fancy at 6pm on a Friday night, great whiskey sour. Perfect date place near Portland Center Stage.

Vibes & Vittles

Great lounge vibe with a small but satisfying menu and a wrap around bar with NA options. The bacon wrapped dates are standouts! Good for a date or a group hang. Such a treat to have a late night vegan spot - open until midnight even during the week!

Pros: Menu options, Varied seating, Late hours

Cons: More gluten-free options would be nice, Fireplace was broken

Not worth the visit

Super confused about the great reviews this place received, as I was definitely not impressed. I ordered the Schwarma Bowl, which is described in the menu as: "Beyond Shawarma Kabobs served over cauliflower rice, edamame, tzatziki & roasted seasonal vegetables. Topped with chimichurri & parsley." Cauliflower rice was not used (I think bulgar or something similar was substitued - they never said this would be the case), there was no edamame, and the roasted veg was red and green peppers, poorly prepared eggplant, and far too many onions.

Overall, the dish was a smallish size, and tasted lacklustre at best. Bar service only, and the guys behind the bar were not super friendly and seemed generally uninterested to be there. The drinks were the best part but I certainly wouldn't go back, nor would I order anything else to eat.

Cons: Unfriendly service, Food didn't match the description , Food was mediocre

Good

The bacon jam burger was really just kinda sweet. I mean good and all but not amazing. Some reviewers seem easily impressed. The fries were really good. My drink was basically fruit juice

Pros: Fries, Burger was good, Cool place and vibe

Cons: Weak drink, Over sweet

Stylish Vegan Bites in Portland

Super recommend, walked over across The Burnside Bridge - totally worth it! Rad environment that’s fully vegan. Cool bar vibe, with zero proof options, I was able to get a refreshing mocktail.

Ordered the Vegan Caesar Salad - I devoured it! Photos can’t do it justice. Also ordered the vegan mozzarella cheese sticks but had to get them to go, as the salad is very satisfying. Would totally come back!

Very date worthy and I saw they have desserts!

Pros: Fully Vegan/Plant-Based w/Cool Vibe, Rad Establishment w/Friendly Service, Delicious Zero Proof Drinks and Caesar Salad!

Cons: Dim Lighting (Pro/Con)

crispy chikun burger, dude

ya know, I remember waiting in a line like 45 mins at a vegan fest to get a fried chick'n burger this good. perfect mayo and pickles. omg 💞
--
followup 2nd one: not as good, the bun fell apart. you glutenfree ppl ruin everything for us. chkn patty and fries still worth it tho. bartender says they're working on it. I will be back.
--
they'll put the same fried chk patty, sliced, on the ceaser salad. it was exactly what I wanted.

Bacon Jam Burger. FTW

The bacon jam and gruyere burger is hands down the best vegan burger I’ve ever had. This place rocks.

Pros: Great burgers, Great vibe

Great Bar Food, Club Vibe

The food is top notch as far as bar offerings go. It also arrived at my table in record time. The chickn burger was one of the better versions I've had.

My only word of caution is that this doubles as a bit of a club at night. So, expect loud music if you're headed there (like I was) after an event.

Loud club but good food

This is a nightclub first and foremost. We did go on a Friday around 10pm so it is probably calmer earlier in the evening or during the week. They were out of some items but we snagged the garlic Parmesan fries which were great for a late night snack with drinks. Their cocktails were impressive and the service was decent considering how busy it was. By the time we left at 11, there was a line outside to get in. If you're wanting a dance club with fancy cocktails and a full vegan menu, this is the place for you.

Best Burger I ever had

The Bakon Jam Gruyere Burger I had was incredible. Let me be clear the food was 10/10. Very nice dining room. Wednesday’s are live Jazz, I wished I came then. The rest of the time it’s DJ curated music. There are no servers or hosts, all food is ordered at the bar, you get a number and the kitchen walks it out to you. The only drawback was that there are no high chairs for kids, and no changing table in the bathroom, luckily my kid is a little bigger, and it could have been harder for me if they weren’t. I understand that it’s a bar, but other bars have high chairs and a posted time that minors are not allowed past. That said the food was fantastic for a reasonable price; it looks like the savings from not having servers and host are passed to the customer, providing high end quality food at an accessible price.

Pros: Food Quality, Food Taste, Decent price considering the quality and flavor

Cons: No high chair, No changing table, Occasionally annoying dancy club music

Amazing food and presentation, bad service

Really good and interesting when you wanna try something other than a veggie burger. Had to wait a long time for utensils after getting food, while server flirted with another guest and even told me he was. Wtf.

Great vibes and food!

Went to Fortune on a Friday around midnight and it was definitely busy. Waited in line outside for about 20 minutes. Ordered food and drinks at the bar and it took about 40 minutes to get our food. They were out of a lot of the menu items by the time we ordered. Tried the shwarma plate, caesar salad, and burger. All were pretty good. Really loved the drinks though! Such creative options. I would definitely go back to Fortune and try out some of their other food options for sure.

Must go!

Fortune is an appropriate name for this place. Great menu, great atmosphere! Especially love that the menu features elements from several local hard-hitters (Cultured Kindness cheese, Missionary Truffles, Thrilling Foods Bakon, Dinger’s Deli meats and hoagie). Yummy cocktails as well. Fortune is not to be missed!

Very cute space and incredible food! The burger, fries and bacon wrapped dates are absolutely delicious. Cocktails are well crafted and match the ambiance of the space.

Pros: Good food, Great cocktails, Open late
