Arden is a vegetarian restaurant in Northwest Portland working from a menu that shifts with the seasons, paired with a wine list the restaurant treats as central to the experience. The name comes from the forest of Arden in Shakespeare's As You Like It, framed by the restaurant as a retreat from everyday stress and a return to a simpler table.

Arden holds a spot on the Eater 38 and has been reviewed by The Infatuation, placing it among the city's notable vegetarian dining rooms.
