If you are a vegan or veggie, this is a fantastic spot. The food has a strong Thai influence with some really great flavors. I've yet to have anything I didn't like.

If you want some great Japanese food, you must stop in here. The prices are a bit on the high side but you will find the food is very good. They also offer outdoor seating in a Zen Garden patio.

Though I have not yet been there, nearly everyone who has ever eaten at Fore Street said it was probably the best food in Portland. It's tough to get in, so make a reservation well in advance.

Otto's wins the prize for most creative pizza flavors. This hole in the wall is just big enough for you go grab a delicious slice and eat it on the go.

If you want some seafood, I really recommend this place. Outdoor seating is a great thing when you are eating a lobster. They sometimes have live music.

This is a designer/organic pizza place. The location is great (on the water), but the wait is likely to be long. Their wood fired pizza is expensive but I have to say it's very delicious.

If you like fresh bread and pastries, this is a must see. Their morning buns with nuts are mana from heaven. Also try their baguettes with your coffee before you catch the ferry to Peaks Island.

Great little place to try for lunch (or dinner but the menu is on the small side). They are known for their excellent fries made with duck fat. They have very good milkshakes and other drinks.

Best croissants in Portland, plus some yummy breads. Go early for pastries, later in the day for bread. It's small, so plan to eat your things to go.
