Fermenter was a vegan restaurant and delicatessen in Portland, Oregon.[1][2][3] Chef and owner Aaron Adams operated the restaurant in southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood from 2019 to 2024.

Description

The 600-square-foot vegan restaurant and delicatessen[4][5] Fermenter was located in southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood.[6][7] The business operated in a red brick building at the intersection of Belmont and 14th Avenue.[8]

The menu included burgers.[9][10] The brunch menu included sourdough waffles with salal berry jam and roasted peaches, hazelnut buttermilk koji biscuits with smoked maitake gravy, and grits with peppers, hazelnut cheese, and tempeh sausage.[11] In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant offered holiday meal kits with cauliflower soup and koji maitakes with winter vegetables.[12]

History

Chef Aaron Adams opened the restaurant in 2019, sharing a kitchen and hallway with Farm Spirit.[6][7]

In February 2024, Adams confirmed plans to close Fermenter permanently at the end of March.[13][14][15] The pasta restaurant Il Paffuto moved into the space.[16]

Reception

Michael Russell included Fermenter in The Oregonian's list of Portland's ten best new restaurants of 2019.[17] Waz Wu included the business in Eater Portland's 2021 overview of the "hottest spots for vegan brunch right now".[11]
