My Maine Meal

Portland is known for its many local businesses - in fact people come from all over New England and around the country to visit for just such a one of a kind experience. Local business owners and employees often possess a level of expertise and a passion for the products they sell that is unmatched by employees and managers of national chains. They also tend to have a greater interest in getting to know their customers—who are, after all, also their neighbors. Simply put, local owners and employees take a special pride in their trade. The same is true for all businesses, but especially for restaurants - who better to create a local taste you'll not soon forget? Whether you're here to visit or live and work here every day - remember to check out local venues for an experience you won't soon forget.
