![]() ![]() We’ve got just a couple more restaurants to squeeze into half a day here. You’re not tired of good food yet, are you? I certainly hope not. We’re back and ready to go for another day of gloriously tasty food in Portland, Maine. Their menu changes seasonally so they don’t have the pasta dish I enjoyed, but you can’t go wrong with any of their pasta dishes. You’ll need to take a short drive (or taxi ride) but it’s worth the time. To end day one of your foodie tour I recommend you book reservations at Tipo. You need to stop and try these potato and sweet potato donuts at least once in your life so grab a couple to take back to your room for a late night snack. The Holy DonutĪfter ice cream you likely won’t feel like eating another dessert but The Holy Donut is just down the street. ![]() The Blackstrap Molasses Banana let me down but that’s because I was hoping for more molasses flavor and a little less banana. For the record, I loved the Vietnamese Coffee, Lemon Poppyseed with Berry Swirl, and Butterscotch Miso (favorite). Desert Ice Cream has all sorts of fun flavors and if you can’t make a choice you can buy a flight of ice cream (four come in a flight if you don’t already know this). Anyone have some tips for how to eat a lobster taco on a Parmesan crisp taco shell without it disintegrating? Mt. right across the street from Duckfat would be a good option. If you love oysters instead, I’m told a stop at Eventide Oyster Co. If you don’t, I’d skip it and save room for something else. I’d say to make this stop only if you love lobster. Next up is a stop at Highroller Lobster Co. However, the Sea Salt Duckfat Caramel Milkshake sounds amazing (and on my list for our next trip.) The cheese curds are unbelievably fresh, and if you need something crisp and non-alcoholic to pair with those fries I recommend the All Maine Tonic. The poutine with duck gravy and cheese curds is the bomb. If you’re going with a group, note the space is a little small and you may need to wait a bit but it will be worth your time. When I arrived, I waited outside 15’ish minutes to be seated because there isn’t a ton of room inside. It’s a bit of a hike but that’s a good thing because you’re going to want to be hungry enough to eat poutine and it’s a bit of a heavier dish. The next stop you should make is Duckfat. Specify that it needs to be the homemade option. If sweet potato pancakes are on the menu you need an order of those and homemade corned beef hash. ![]() They delivered exactly what I want in diner food and then some. So many people were talking about how Becky’s Diner was on their must-try list I was sure it was going to be a tourist trap gimmick. I love a good old fashioned diner but the art is dying. Foodie Tour Day 1 Becky’s DinerĮvery good foodie tour should start with breakfast at a local diner. If you’d like to take a Maine foodie tour without doing all the planning you can book a trip with Maine Foodie Tours or grab my custom-made foodie tour at the bottom of the page. I created my own walking foodie tour and I’m sharing with you. So, I planned out how I could check off as much of the list as possible without dying of food overload. Way longer than a person could fulfill in 3 days that are already half-filled with conference activities. Before I went I polled my friends on where I needed to eat. Last summer I visited Portland, Maine for a women’s travel conference (Women in Travel Summit). The best way is to take a foodie tour and I’ve designed one with 10 places we (and friends) like to eat that I’m sure you will too. Whether you’re traveling solo or with family you need to try all the best places to eat in Portland, Maine. ![]()
