Bastion is a nutritionist chef owned and operated restaurant in the trendy and bustling Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood of Portland. The Bastion team operates the business with the utmost intention and an unwavering commitment to the well-being of our community. They are 100% gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, soy-free and corn-free, and aim to accommodate a variety of diets and ways of eating so that no matter how each person chooses to feed their body, there will be something for everyone on the menu. They source ingredients locally, and are committed to supporting regenerative farming practices. You can dine in. There is also a fridge where you can pick up necessities such as bone broth and grain free bread, two of my favorites. I am not sure about every ingredient they use, but they seem to be pretty forward thinking, and seem to practice most of the Weston Price principles.
