They are the stupidest snobbiest place ever. In the past I put up with their fake upper class bull to get some creative vegan food and to support ethical food choices but went last night and, surprise!, looked like every other hoity toity yuppy place in Portland. As far as I’m concerned if they’re going to rely on cheese and eggs for all the tasty-looking items, they may as well just add beef and bacon. I found the host’s response to us leaving very insensitive (me – i thought we were at a vegan restaurant; him – oh, well it’s 90% vegan) That’s it? Whatever! I would never again recommend it or go there for any reason whatsoever.

They’ve gone to “tapas style small plates,” instead of salads, soups, and entrees, and almost everything has cheese save for a couple of salads. It’s like the chef just discovered dairy, and is using it just for the hell of it, to say “F U, haters.” We wound up just leaving, since most of the pleasure of Nutshell lay in appreciating creative inherently vegan cuisine. Is this really all about the foie gras?

We visited Nutshell on August 15th and the menu had not yet changed. This is unfortunate. Thanks for the update.

Cheese and eggs have been added to the menu. Most items can still be prepared vegan. I emailed Nutshell after my visit, and a response from the chef informed me that the menu has changed because they don’t have support from the vegan community so they’re changing their “business plan”. The place was pretty dead for a Friday night.

Sometimes it will still be available by request, as a special, or just something an insider must know.
Anyone feeling up to visiting and challenging them to serve you foie gras?

Perhaps it isn’t being served at the restaurant any longer, is this a possibility?

Vegans felt more at ease supporting Nutshell, knowing that the owners did not profit from this horrific practice.

Thanks to an investigation, it has been discovered that Adam has lied. In an attempt to trick local animal rights activists into sparing his business from their attention, Adam has secretly placed the diseased liver back on the menu.
