Wholism | Portland Plant-Based Eatery

This week I got to check out Wholism, a new vegetarian eatery that opened up on Hawthorne. Everything on the menu is gluten-free, grain-free, and refined sugar-free. With the exception of eggs, it’s also entirely plant-based/vegan.Portland vegan vegetarian restaraunt plant based wholism_0001The space and menu are definitely designed with Instagram in mind. You’ll find plants galore, gold cutlery, cute teacups, and everything topped with edible flower petals.  There are plenty of tables, enough for large groups, and a coloring corner for kids or adults. Portland vegan vegetarian restaraunt plant based wholism_0003I enjoyed a rose and hibiscus latte, not too overpowering or sweet. My friend Kirsten had a cardamum and saffron latte. Both were super creamy, made with a coconut-almond milk blend. Portland vegan vegetarian restaraunt plant based wholism_0010Portland vegan vegetarian restaraunt plant based wholism_0004I was blown away with how colorful and beautifully presented each dish was! My absolute favorite was the avocado toast, made on fresh gluten-free focaccia. Portland vegan vegetarian restaraunt plant based wholism_0006We also shared the Turmeric Coconut Waffle. The coconut, turmeric, fruit, chocolate and corn created a contrasting combo of sweet and savory. DSC_9199 crop 2The Blue Majik Smoothie Bowl was not the most flavorful dish, but what a showstopper with that amazing color!Portland vegan vegetarian restaraunt plant based wholism_0005Unique ingredients like chlorella, cordyceps, dragon fruit, reishi, maca, and gingko will appeal to superfood lovers, but also bring the price point up. I’m not exactly a “health food” vegan, but Kirsten was definitely geeking out over all the superfoods and adaptogens on the menu! Portland vegan vegetarian restaraunt plant based wholism_0008Thank you so much to Wholism for the beautiful meal! Portland vegan vegetarian restaraunt plant based wholism_0009
