Where to eat in Portland
Portland, Maine sits on a peninsula in Casco Bay, and the Old Port's brick streets run down to working wharves where boats still land fish. Food & Wine named it the best small city for food and drink in the US in April 2026, and Dana Street of Fore Street won the 2026 James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurateur. The city is built for eating: a brown-butter lobster roll and a dozen Maine oysters at Eventide, duck fat fries on Middle Street, the Italian sandwich the Amato family says it invented, hand rolls, wood-fired dinners and some of the best bread in the country. Munjoy Hill and East Bayside hold the newer, smaller rooms. Summer is busy, September and early October are the sweet spot, and winter is quieter with a few seasonal places closed.
