Maine Eats: A Portland Food Roundup 🦞

Spent the past two days exploring Portland and indulging in all the local eats—here’s a breakdown of our favorite spots, based on first-hand experience! 1. ISF Trading This spot is all about uni (sea urchin)—and it’s incredibly fresh and sweet, like a burst of the ocean in every bite 🐡. The sashimi (we tried sweet shrimp, too!) was solid but nothing mind-blowing—good, but the uni is the real star here. 2. Portland Lobsters Co We ordered the Twin Lobster—two 1lb lobsters for $59.99 (note: this is market price, so it might vary day-to-day). The lobster meat was tender and juicy, and the shells were so easy to crack—no tools needed, just your hands! Pulling out that whole, perfect piece of lobster meat? Total satisfaction 😌. ⚠️ Pro Tip: If you eat outside, watch out for seagulls—they’ll sneak a bite of your lobster if you’re not looking! 🦅 3. Coastal Creamery Their blueberry ice cream is the top seller, and for good reason—it’s light, fruity, and super refreshing 🍨. The small size is more than enough for one person, so no need to overorder! 4. The Standard Baking Co Expect long lines here—this place is popular for a reason! I tried the Blueberry Scone; it’s soft and fluffy (perfect if you love mild, not-too-crumbly textures) and not overly sweet. Great with a cup of coffee for a morning pick-me-up ☕. 5. Luke‘s Lobster Portland Pier A total lobster roll landmark! They offer two types of rolls—one with more lobster meat (which costs a bit extra). Their New England Clam Chowder is also a must-try—creamy, briny, and packed with clams. Bonus: both indoor and outdoor seating have amazing views of the water—definitely worth a visit for the food and the scenery 🌊. 6. Beal‘s Old Fashioned Ice Cream Classic, old-school ice cream with a fun twist—their ginger flavor is unique and surprisingly tasty! If you’re nervous about trying something new, stick with the blueberry (safe but delicious). Between this and Coastal Creamery? I’d pick Coastal Creamery for its lighter, more refreshing vibe! That’s all the spots we tried over two days—these are all honest, first-hand recs, and we didn’t include any places we haven’t tasted ourselves. Portland has so many more hidden food gems out there—go explore and find your own favorites! #RestaurantRecommendations #FoodieCheckIn #HiddenGemRestaurants #PortlandMaine #MaineFood #LobsterLovers #IceCreamTour
