We were headed to Portland, and being that we are vegetarians, we searched ahead of time for possible restaurants. Checked the trip advisor reviews and decided to try the Blossoming Lotus. Arrived around 11:45 on a Thursday morning and were seated immediately. We looked at the menu, which had several items that looked delicious.
We decided on the BLT and the Thai Wrap. The BLT was an add-on to the menu-on a little card attached to the menu, so I'm not certain if it is a regular menu item, if not, it should be. The bacon was a coconut bacon, with lettuce, tomato, portabello mushroom, and aioli sauce on a ciabatta roll. The thai wrap was filled with spicy barbecue soy, very similar in consistency to pulled pork, carrots, cabbage, and cucumber in a wheat wrap. It came with a small container of peanut sauce. My companion and I decided ahead of time that we would each have half of the sandwiches. They were phenomenal! Very flavorful and honestly, the best vegetarian food that we have ever eaten! We loved it so much that we stopped in again at the end of our Oregon trip on the way back to the airport. The only thing we regret about this place is that we weren't in Portland long enough to try everything on the menu AND that the Blossoming Lotus is in Portland and not in Phoenix, where we live.

I travel a lot - all over the world. I eat out a lot - all over the world. Because I have very particular dietary restrictions, I rarely find a restaurant that can provide even a few choices for me to eat. So usually, I make do. Once in a while, I find somewhere special that has something tasty that I can actually eat and feel well afterward. But now, I have found the most amazing restaurant for someone like me! I wish I could take this restaurant everywhere I go when I travel!!!! Blossoming Lotus is beyond belief!!!! They are a gourmet, organic, sustainable, vegan eatery with many gluten free choices. I am both gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant. Usually, desserts are out of the question because they contain one or the other or both. Not only were the main entrees and salads delicious and within my parameters but the desserts - exquisite! I had a 'cheesecake' that was dairy and gluten free, and it was raw, as well! It was made with coconut milk, cashew cream and in-season Oregon berries. It was KILLER good!! Even someone who has no dietary restrictions at all would absolutely love this place. I can highly recommend this place for ANYONE, but especially those looking for something out of the ordinary needing special attention to their healthy eating needs. Brilliant!

Good food with lots of choices. Imaginative, as others have said, and everything marked as GF (gluten-free) or SF (soy free) to help some of us with choices. Normally, I eat more paleo-style, and i had a great meal with my friend.

just left lunch. Had a "cheese burger" which was lentils and walnuts with cashew cheese and tomato jam on sesame seed bun. It was the best meal in vegan I've ever had. I was oh-ing and awe-ing every bite. Kind people. There was a short wait but worth every minute.
