Our first event of 2025:

Epif x Veganizer Meetup

Join us for the first Veganizer event of 2025. We are teaming up with our friends at Epif to host a meetup. 

Come enjoy vegan snacks and connect with folks within our community! This is a great opportunity to invite friends and family who are doing Veganuary and trying to incorporate more plant-based meals into their routine. You don't have to be vegan to attend. However, we ask that non-vegan attendees be respectful that this is a community event at a vegan restaurant.

Garcia de la Cruz has generously donated organic extra virgin olive oil and stuffed olives for our meetup. We will be raffling off a gift basket of goodies. Every event ticket is one entry into the raffle.

Epif, Portland's Vegan Pisco Bar
We are Pepe and Nicolle. In 2004 we moved from Boston, Massachusetts to Pepe's hometown of Valparaiso, Chile. There we opened an international vegetarian restaurant/bar and, for the six years it was open, loved every moment of it. But the time came to move along, and we headed north to Portland, Oregon. After searching for the right location to open our new restaurant/bar, we realized it was right in our front yard -- literally. So we designed and constructed a commercial building on the corner of NE 28th and Flanders, in front of our home.

Epif's food menu is unique because we take traditionally meat-centric South American dishes and make them 100% vegan (with many gluten free, nut free, soy free, and sugar free options). We serve bright, healthy, and balanced dishes utilizing local, organic ingredients when possible and focus on accents of fresh herbs and vegetable powders. We are not a Chilean restaurant, we are not a Peruvian restaurant, we are not serving traditional dishes... we serve dishes inspired by the Andes region of South America, with our own twist!

Epif has the largest selection of Pisco in Portland. Our cocktail menu showcases original, unique craft Pisco cocktails, as well as the best Pisco Sours you'll find in town. Additionally, we offer a full bar, local beers on tap, wine, and a selection of tasty mocktails (non-alcoholic cocktails).

Veganizer Collaborative Events
Veganizer PDX works with local restaurants, chefs, and makers to host collaborative vegan events. We bring multiple chefs together for one of a kind dining experiences, working with both vegan and omnivore chefs to celebrate plant-based dining. Our events range from intimate dinners to our walkaround festival Circle V Portland to our World Vegan Month dining passport program.

In 2017, food writer and content creator Waz Wu launched the Portland chapter of Veganizer. At the time, Veganizer HQ was based in NYC, and we had Veganizer chapters across the country, including a couple in Europe. Today, Veganizer PDX is the last remaining active chapter, pivoting through the pandemic and ever-changing food & beverage landscape, to grow into a brand of its own. 

Thank you to our Portland community for supporting us through the years. 2024 was our biggest year yet!
