    Laughing Planet: Grilled veggie quesadilla with gluten-free tortilla
    Harold M.

    This is always a solid neighborhood place to eat in a healthy way around Gabriel Park area. Clean and comfortable space, friendly workers. Some bench outside as well for warmer days. Really good place for vegan, paleo, and gluten-free options. Had the grilled veggies quesadilla with gluten-free tortilla. Absolutely wonderful! Friends ordered the Thai burrito - delicious but needed more peanut sauce.

    Walking inside - kinda dark. Better to sit by the windows up front

    My local Laughing Planet, which I probably head to like once a week, due to their nice variety of somewhat, or should we say semi-? healthy options. Hey it beats Taco Bell. The associates at the counter are always great - friendly, patient and helpful, whether you're eating in or taking out. Good selection of beers and ciders on tap, and there's a very urban-ish (concrete) patio out back. Food is reliably good - I always get the Thai Bowl -- though I will say the ambience here is less than ideal. It feels like a cave... which makes me want to deduct another star. But I won't. Also, food is pricy for what you get, but I don't mind paying for (mostly) freshness and I'm glad it's close by.

    Brown guac, yucky
    Charles R.

    Paid 50+ dollars for three smalls meals. Got home to find disgusting brown guacamole. The person in the kitchen should be fired. I will not eat here again.

    $15 Cowboy Chicken Salad

    Value for what you get is nil. The food tastes good but it's so expensive for what you actually get. The latest "special" Lebanese bowl total rip off. Asked for chicken which is maybe 5 bite size pieces. Maybe 1/2 cup, if that? Asked for more lettuce greens instead of rice, did not get it. My kids like the burritos here but it pains me to try to get anything for myself because $15 for a tiny bowl of something with no extras is crazy! Oh and it's worse on a Friday nite or busy nights- the busier they are, the smaller the portions like they're trying to ration the food. Not kidding. The owners must be making a giant profit on the overpriced adult food while our kids eat! Skip this place and get your kids burritos elsewhere if you're planning to eat there too.

    Salted chocolate chunk cookie

    We have been eating food from Laughing Planet for a long time. We like their healthy choices and flexible meals that you can add or subtract ingredients to/from at will. They are very accomodating. Everything tastes great. Today we nabbed lunch - I added mushrooms and extra cheese to their BBQ chicken quesadilla and added some guac and sour cream on the side. The kid got a ginormous comfort bowl with tofu, cauliflower, rice, beans, avocado, cheese, olives, cilantro, pico de gallo and who knows what else with chips and salsa and a PB&J dairy free smoothie. We also got a salted chocolate chunk cookie. I think the cookies are vegan but I am not sure. Everything was tasty and delicious. Maybe a little expensive but so is everywhere else right? They are great for kid's meals ( mine has been eating guac and tofu and rice there since babyhood) and if you eat in they have fun dinosaur decor.

    Korean BBQ bowl
    Diane T.

    My husband and I were looking for a healthy and filling lunch option while sightseeing in Portland. Laughing Planet fit the bill with gluten free & paleo options. We both chose the Korean BBQ bowl with beef & it was delicious! The broccoli was cooked just right- crisp-tender- and the beef was tender & tasty. I enjoyed the quick pickled cucumbers but my husband opted out of them. We shared chips & salsa while we waited & as a south Texan used to Tex Mex, I was pleasantly surprised by the perfectly spicy salsa. The service was quick & our food came out quickly too. Definitely give them a try!

    Harvest bowl! Sooooo delicious!!@
    Betsy B.

    I've eaten here 5 times and this is my take: The peeps that work here - 5 stars so friendly! Chicken Quesadilla - 3 stars Veggie Quesadilla - 3 stars Corn chips & Dip - 2 star Pot roast special- Good but a bit too salty & not enough meat - 3 stars (three times now my photo of this won't post!) Vegan Harvest Bowl - 5 stars Green Dream Smoothie - Very SPICY 1 star Last health score 100% - 5 stars! Vegan cheese is an option and tempeh and tofu take the place of the meat. I haven't had their tofu yet, but the tempeh is awesome! You will not be hungry after you finish. Please see my menu photos, but the priced have increased in just months. For instance, the harvest bowl was $10, then $11.75 and now $12.75.

    Holiday Bowl w/ Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Squash, Green Beans, Cranberry, and Amaaaazing Gravy...aaaahhhh!

    The food is good, but the constant price increases are unjustifiable. $15.50 for a bowl that was $10 six months ago. I stopped going there.

We both got the Blackberry Bramble Smash Burger (of course blackberry compote, goat cheese, and arugula). She thought It came with jalapeños but, It would totally make it even better but, it was still a delicious burger. We also got a small fry (3 people could share it). Service~It was a very nice guy off to the side taking orders (where you could order different beers on tap) Ambiance~It's located in a strip mall on Powell (lots of other food carts right in the middle of everything). Very relaxing (but, it was 2 bees that swear we had honey on us a little annoying but, it didn't stop us from enjoying our food and the outdoors). It's plenty of parking and seating. I spoke to few people and, had a decent conversation for a few minutes. It's still burger week until the 21s (check it out)! I love Pizza so now I know this is a thing I look forward to participating in other local events!

Thousands of options here in one gigantic marketplace, and something for everyone! The marketplace itself is quite dated. Yet it is eclectic and quirky. It is welcoming and irrefutably very memorable. There is a dedicated area to serve beer on tap with a list of about 12 options and then there is a restaurant with a limited menu. Mostly things like burgers, sandwiches, and other common pub fair. There are vegetarian options available. When your order is ready, they use an overhead mic that is resemblance of something that you would hear over the loudspeaker at an 80s rollerskating rink. On site, there are bathrooms and areas for seating that include bar tops, high tops, and even a couple of comfy couches. There is an outdoor patio that is very inviting during the warmer months of the year. Ultimately, this is an incredibly impressive presentation of beverages. Perhaps even something that some people would consider a museum of sorts. Either way, there is definitely choices for everyone, and this is an establishment that can't be missed. Yes, you can visit the other location on Powell, but nothing will ever match up to the original location here in Multnomah village. An experience, a chance to shop and stockpile some beer, but truly a showcase of excellence in beer culture in the heart of our city.

The biscuits were not biscuits. They were so hard and flat I thought it was sourdough slices but it was a handmade biscuit but very hard, flat, and tough. Worst I've ever had. The home fries weren't to my liking but my husband loved them. The pancakes were some the best gf v ones I've had but still felt very... gf. They were rubbery and chewy but not grainy like gf tends to be. They were fluffy. Overall I'd have preferred regular pancakes. The waitress suggested them to me instead of the French toast which she told me wasn't very good and vegan French toast is hard to do (not true I do it at home... but appreciate the honesty). The tempeh bacon, tofu scramble, and sausage was also applauded at the table but I didn't personally try it. I found the chicken too chewy but others like it. The carrot cake was good but the icing is a lot. Very rich and sweet. I'm probably the only person who likes a more savory icing everyone else liked the cake but agreed you couldn't eat a whole slice yourself. the coffee was great and they kept refilling in true diner style. They offer soy and oat milk. There were other things on the menu we were curious about so we will go back.

Yes we made a reservation. No we did not all sit at the same table, we were split up. Yes we told the server at the start we were separate checks. Server responded they can only check four ways. We said fine, and told the server who would be on which check before we ordered to try and make it easier to pay. No, it did not help. There is only one single stall bathroom. As soon as we finished paying, while we were standing and waiting for people to finish with the bathroom, a server came up and said, "not to be rude, but you have to leave." I get it, it is a small restaurant. We were a large group. But, I had to ask to order. I had to ask for our check when we were clearly all finished eating and just chatting. The checks were wrong, despite us telling the server at the start who was on each check. It took at least 10 minutes to get the checks all right. We left a 20% cash tip on the table, even though we were never asked if we wanted more drinks (some of us ordered cocktails), dessert, or really checked up on. Food and cocktails were good. Chips and salsa is $5 and while good, the portions were small if you expect to share with a table of four. Parking was easy.

Bastion definitely is part of what makes Portland's gluten free scene great! The location is in a beautiful small neighborhood in the city. Bastion sits among some small businesses and has the feel of a cozy business in a house. My absolute favorite thing about Bastion was their fried chicken. It was crispy and delicious. Often times gluten free items lack a bit of substance when it comes to how it feels, but the nice meaty chicken pieces really helped offset that in the case of the chicken sandwich. It was fulfilling to eat and would do a great job filling up anyone who is hungry. My wife went with the waffles and they were great. They were presented beautifully with a gorgeous flower garnish.
