Bastion has quickly become our favorite spot in Portland. My brother discovered it and we honestly cannot stop coming back. It’s now our go to place every weekend.
The food is incredibly fresh, nourishing, and thoughtfully prepared. You leave feeling energized and taken care of, which is rare to find while still being completely delicious. Everything feels intentional, clean, and made with real care.
The staff is absolutely incredible. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind every single time. They make the whole experience feel personal and special.
Bastion is one of those rare places that just gets everything right. So grateful to have this gem in Portland.

I just love this spot! It has great outdoor overhang so you can enjoy time outside even in the rain. They are specialized with dietary options such as gluten and dairy free. They have tasty food. Their bread is amazing such high quality and bone broth. It's a treat to go there. I will say the price point is definitely higher but for the quality it is superb!
If I could Bastion PDX every day I would LIVING!! It’s some of the best gluten-free bread I’ve ever eaten!! I’ve tested a lot of breads and this one is seedy, has a fantastic chew, and a lovely crust.
I am obsessed. Their brunch is awesome — chicken and waffles and French toast are top choices!

So happy to have found this place! I feel so seen at this allergy friendly spot: gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free, and seed oil free! That is rare! Come here to eat healthy real food.
It’s a cute little cafe where you order first and then sit down. Bus your table after. The staff is friendly and their menu is excellent! I had a hard time picking what to eat, but I ended up going with the salmon salad. The person at the front said their popular items are the waffles and borscht. Both sound delicious, so maybe I’ll try it next time. Their menu is unique and not the usual selection on a lunch menu, like a deli sandwich. Every plate is presented beautifully too.
They put my large salmon salad on a bed of lettuce and topped it with beets, pomegranate, a radish, and what looked like flower petals/buds. I saved 1/4 of my lunch to-go. My husband had their salmon hash with potatoes, and let me tell you, that egg on top looked delicious. I saw some other folks ordering that, so it seems like a popular item on the menu too. We also ordered the matcha latte with coconut milk and the Bastion pink latte. Bastion pink latte is tasty and healthy (beets, cherry, maple syrup, ginger, and substituted with coconut milk). No caffeine though! I loved my matcha latte because it wasn’t too bitter and not too sweet (I had honey for sweetener), but it was creamy and delicious with the coconut milk. The salmon is excellent, not too smokey.

Food was incredible! Space is limited and weekend brunch Fri-Sun can be very busy, so plan on a (worthwhile) wait if you go at peak brunch hours. The crowd thinned out around 1pm, so we might opt for a later brunch next time. You order at the counter and line can be out the door, so wear layers if you go on a chilly day. The space is small and quarters were a bit crowded with a full restaurant. There is a small outdoor patio with heaters for cold days, and a handful of indoor tables. Tables seat 2-4 comfortably, so larger groups might be tough to accommodate here. Staff were courteous and kind, even when things were bustling. Our group of three all loved our meals! Delicious and beautiful presentation. We will be back.
