The Highroller Lobster Co.
Portland, ME
Highroller does lobster fries that are loaded with lobster meat and butter. Sounds excessive, tastes incredible. The regular fries are crispy and well-salted too.
Tipo
Portland, ME
Tipo does Neapolitan-style pizza with a charred, blistered crust. The margherita is textbook. Simple menu, well-executed. Portland's best pizza by a clear margin.
Crispy Gai
Portland, ME
Crispy Gai does Thai-style fried chicken that's crispy, juicy, and coated in a sweet chili glaze. The wings are the star. Small spot on Congress Street that punches way above its weight.
Fore Street
Portland, ME
Fore Street has been the definitive Portland fine dining restaurant since 1996. The wood-oven roasted meats are exceptional. Chef Sam Hayward won a James Beard Award here. Reservations are essential.
Pai Men Miyake
Portland, ME
Pai Men Miyake on Fore Street does ramen with locally sourced ingredients in a Japanese framework. The tonkotsu is rich and the sushi is excellent too. Chef Masa Miyake trained in Hokkaido.
Pai Men Miyake
Portland, ME
Pai Men Miyake's omakase is one of the best kept dining secrets in Portland. Chef Miyake sources from local fishermen and Japanese suppliers. The nigiri is impeccable.
The Honey Paw
Portland, ME
The Honey Paw's pad Thai has a wok char and tamarind depth that most pad Thai in Maine can't touch. The Eventide team brings the same quality to everything they do.
