You do not need to cross the bridge to Portland if you do not want to – the quality and range of dining even closer to the house is impressive!
When you do make the two minute drive across the bridge, Trip Advisor has now named Portland among its top ten destinations on the rise in the U.S. And Portland has made Fodor’s 2016 “Go List,” a compilation of 25 destinations worldwide recommended by Fodor’s Travel.
Portland is considered a “foodie haven” and there are over 500 restaurants in the Greater Portland area. 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. And in 2016, nine Maine restaurants, chefs, and brewmasters were among the semifinalists for James Beard Awards, considered the most prestigious in the American food world. The national awards pit Maine food professionals against contenders from around the U.S. – approx. twenty semifinalists are named in each category.
Over a dozen beer breweries have also put Portland on the map for beer lovers (search "Maine Beer Trail" to see a comprehensive list). And there is no lack of unique coffee shops, along with The Holy Donut which has been written up in Elle magazine, the Boston Globe, and listed as one of the 10 best donut shops in the U.S.
Worth noting that Portland has now replaced Boston as “America’s Coziest Cities”.
