Seed-Oil-Free Restaurants
in Portsmouth

River House is a waterfront seafood and American restaurant in Portsmouth, NH. Their published recipes feature olive oil, butter, and bacon fat as primary cooking fats. While the recipes section shows clean fat usage, we could not confirm the specific oils used for their fryer operation (if any) or commercial kitchen cooking on the menu. We recommend asking about their frying oil and any sauces or dressings when you visit.

Salud explicitly states on their official website that they make all dishes "without seed oils or junk ingredients." This is a direct, clear commitment to avoiding seed oils across their menu of salads, bowls, wraps, smoothies, and cold-pressed juices. Their focus on fresh, local, organic ingredients and health-conscious preparation strongly supports this claim.

The Juicery is a juice bar and smoothie shop that primarily serves fresh juices, smoothies, bowls, and avocado toast. Their menu explicitly lists olive oil in their toast items (Green Toast and Cashew Later Toast). No seed oils or fried foods were mentioned in their menu or website. The business model—focused on fresh, whole ingredients like fruit, greens, nuts, and nut butters—aligns with minimal seed oil use.

Cava is a Mediterranean tapas restaurant in Portsmouth that uses olive oil for most cooking (rices, roasted vegetables, potatoes). However, they explicitly use canola oil for pita chips and pita crisps — a seed oil. While their core dishes may be olive oil–based, the confirmed canola use disqualifies them from a clean-fat classification. If avoiding all seed oils is important to you, ask them about prep methods for other fried items and sauces when you visit.
