Astral (also known as Astral PDX)[1] is a Mexican restaurant in Portland, Oregon. The restaurant started as a pop-up by spouses John Boisse and Lauren Breneman.[2][3] Boisse and Breneman are the chef and pastry chef, respectively.[1] It is now housed at Duality Brewing, in the northeast Portland portion of the Kerns neighborhood.
