Astera is a love poem to Oregon’s vinified, farmed and foraged created by Chef Aaron Adams. We offer a multiple course tasting menu, our Horticultural Cuisine of Cascadia, built on flavors utilizing classic and modern techniques with an emphasis on fermentation. Astera inhabits a historic brick building in the Buckman neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. Our kitchen utilizes craft fermentation techniques in novel ways to accentuate our cuisine, including the production of interesting misos, shoyus, vegetable ferments, koji charcuterie, vegan cheesemaking, water kefir, and kombucha.
