Portland is home to a plethora of local, creative and delicious restaurants. From our own Maine lobster and seafood to cuisine inspired by countries all over the world, there is something to please everyone's palate. Portland ranks among the top U.S. cities in restaurants and bars per capita!
We have developed a national reputation for the quality of our restaurants and eateries:
In 2009, Portland was named the "Foodiest Small Town in America" by Bon Appetit magazine, and was featured in the New York Times as a food destination. In the spring of 2007, Portland was nominated as one of three finalists for "Delicious Destination of the Year" at the 2007 Food Network Awards. Many local chefs have gained national attention over the past few years and we are home to several James Beard Award winners!
Many restaurants emphasize local and organic food and we house the state's greatest concentration of vegetarian and vegetarian-friendly restaurants. Portland is also home to a number of microbreweries and brewpubs! *We are always updating and adding fabulous Portland spots. If we've missed your place or a place you love, contact us!*
