This month’s issue of Portland - Maine’s City Magazine has an informative article on some great restaurants in the state. I really enjoyed reading through the article and hearing about some of the interesting places we have to eat. I particularly liked the author including a mix of higher end expensive places with fun and interesting places that are more economical. They also have a great piece on six chefs to watch in the state including two James Beard award winners (for Northeast’s Best Chef) - Sam Hayward from Fore Street in Portland and Melissa Kelly from Primo in Rockland.
Here’s a quick rundown of some of the places and their website addresses in case you want to go and check them out, keep in mind not all places have websites.
Cinque Terre - serves Italian food and is located on Wharf Street in Portland (keep your eye out for a segment on them on Food Network, April 15) http://www.cinqueterremaine.com/
Becky’s Diner - serving traditional American diner fare on Commerical Street in Portland, you can check them out at www.beckysdiner.com
Pepperclub - is a great place to go if you are looking for vegetarian fare while you are visiting Maine. They are located at 78 Middle Street in Portland’s Old Port.
David’s - is a place for those more inclined to meat eating. They serve lots of seafood and meat dishes, although they do have a couple of vegetarian options on their menus. You can check them out on the web at http://www.davidsrestaurant.com/index.html
And that’s just a few of the great restaurants highlighted in this month’s Portland - Maine’s City Magazine.
