Epif

We are Pepe and Nicolle. In 2004 we moved from Boston, Massachusetts to Pepe’s hometown of Valparaiso, Chile. There we opened an international vegetarian restaurant/bar and, for the six years it was open, loved every moment of it. But the time came to move along, and we headed north to Portland, Oregon. After searching for the right location to open our new restaurant/bar, we realized it was right in our front yard — literally. So we designed and constructed a commercial building on the corner of NE 28th and Flanders in front of our home.

As such, Epif opened it’s doors in November 2015 to lovingly serve the community delicious and creative vegan food and Pisco cocktails inspired by the Andes region of South America.

Epif’s food menu is unique because we traditionally meat-centric South American dishes and make them 100% vegan. We serve bright, healthy, and balanced dishes utilizing local, organic ingredients with a focus on fresh herbs and accents of vegetable powders.

Epif has the largest selection of Pisco in Portland. Our cocktail menu showcases original, unique craft Pisco cocktails, as well as the best Pisco Sours you’ll find in town. Additionally, we offer a full bar, local beers on tap, wine, and a selection of tasty mocktails (non-alcoholic cocktails).
