Guidebook for South Portland
Food Scene
One of Portland's most popular restaurants. They serve small plates (almost tapas style) and offer a full bar. It is almost always packed in the summer and on weekends, but they will take your name and text you when you're ready! Worth it!

This place is a little bit outside Portland, but a local favorite that tourists aren't very aware of. It sits right on the water and offers great views of sailboats and the ocean. Worth it for a drink and a snack before dinner.

BRUNCH! BREAKFAST! Doesn't matter what day - get breakfast here. The Louisiana Bayou benedict is a must. And house made bloody mix doesn't hurt either.

Drinks & Nightlife
If it's a nice night, The Porthole will typically be packed and often offers live music. A little "divey" but you'll get a mix of all walks of life here, as it is one of the only options for drinking outside right on the water in Portland.
