The best Thumbprint Cookies you've ever tasted. Also a big fan of the scones and any of their breads.
Their off-menu feta tomato breakfast sandwich is possibly the tastiest breakfast sandwich in Portland-metro.
I like that the interior is a bit run down. This place is always good and reasonably priced.
Vietnamese inspired sandwich menu. Almost everything on the menu is well-thought out and excellent.
There are a lot of good middle eastern / arabic food options on Forest Ave. So far, this is my favorite.
My favorite pure diner in Portland. Hard to get a table, though. Go on off days/hours, if you can.
The pastrami sandwich is as good as any you'll find in NYC. The bagels are my favorite in Portland, as well.
The best pure thai restaurant in all of the Portland-area (and I've tried many of them).
Consistently excellent - high-end Maine seafood. We like to come here for birthdays or dinners with visitors from out of town.
Taj has the best standard Indian food in the entire Portland, Maine area. Go for the lunch buffet right when they open.
It really does feel (and taste) like New Orleans. I'm not sure there is a more satisfying breakfast spot in all of Portland. Try the Cajun Scramble and add a blueberry pancake if you have room.
