The 2023 Portland Food Map Pocket Guide is now available. This handy paper reference highlights a wide selection of the restaurants, bakeries, breweries, coffee shops, cocktail bars, and cafes that make eating and drinking in Portland so compelling. This year it includes an expanded selection of Maine restaurants as well.
The Pocket Guide is a snapshot in time of the food community. Check back here for the latest information and updates on openings as well as the full list of independent eateries in the city…and check with restaurant websites for the latest on days and hours of operation.
Many thanks to the Pocket Guide sponsors. Their support plays an essential role in making the guide available: Evergreen Credit Union, The Press Hotel, the Canopy by Hilton Waterfront hotel, The Boulos Company, Wine Wise and Vertical Harvest.
While supplies last you can pick-up a free copy of the guide at these local businesses: Portland Trading Company, Rose Foods, Tandem Coffee, Onggi and Oxbow Brewing Company on Washington Ave, the Portland Yoga Collective, the Ugly Duckling, Bresca and the Honey Bee in New Gloucester, Rabelais in Biddeford, Table Bar in Gardiner, and The Alna Store in Alna. Unfortunately, we don’t have the capacity to mail copies of the pocket guide.
The pocket guide wouldn’t be as good as it is, in fact it wouldn’t exist at all, without the skills and contributions of Dawn Hagin from Rare Bird Strategic and graphic designer Sofija Razgaitis. Congratulate them on their work the next time you see them in town.
