Must Eat Portland Maine

After sharing over 1,000 tips about where to eat and what to order in and around Portland, Maine, with our readers we’ve compiled the first annual Must Eat Portland Maine List. You now have 71 amazing dishes to try.

Must Eat List rule #1 is to pace yourself and #2 is to remember that not all of these foods are available 100% of the time.

If you’d like to receive the Must Eat List as a printable PDF, just shoot an email to hello@eatdrinklucky.com and we’ll set you up. Special thanks to EDL contributors Chelsea Cook, Audrey Farber, Olivia Gunn, Claire Jeffers, Kate McCarty, Chris Papagni and Joe Ricchio for helping with the list.

Enjoy your meals!
