Not all lobster rolls are created equal, but this one has fresh lobster meat with a slight buttery glaze and is nestled into a toasted and buttered bun with just the right amount of mayo.
Hugo's opened in 1999 and put Portland on the map for food lovers. Don't skip the "blind tasting menu," and don't even think of leaving without trying a Peanut Butter Cup cake.
It’s an overwhelming experience to enter Portland’s most popular juice bar — options, options, options. So let us break it down: Order a Life Blood (beets, carrot, lemon, apple, ginger).
Rumor has it that this is George H.W. Bush's favorite lobster place, but I won't hold that against them. The raspberry pie and lobster roll are my favorite in Maine.

Bar going until midnight. Grab a bottle of wine, porch seats and enjoy the people watching. Restaurant food is local and flavorful.
Once a year They have a special craft beer dinner where they pair beer with the food. It's awesome.
Stayed away from the mains and instead got a slew of small plates, snacks, and a mushroom pizza to share. Crab toast and squid ink wings were standouts. They also have Maine Brewing Co's Lunch on tap!
Under the watchful eye of the James Beard Award-winning chef Ken Oringer, New England delicacies like Diver Scallops with Smoked Heirloom Carrots have never tasted better. Read more.

Melissa Kelly partner Price Kushner grow or raise the ingredients for nearly everything on the menu. Upstairs, dining is more casual and affordable than in the main floor. OPENS FOR THE SEASON 5/10
Watch out for bears and coyotes which are sighted on a semi-regular basis, while moose and bobcats are rare — but occasional — camp-mates. Read more.
Beautiful year-round, but especially magical in the Fall. Check out the views from Cadillac Mountain, wet your toes at Sand Beach, and breathe in that lovely fresh air!
The view up here is extraordinary, simply a must visit place for friends, families and photographers, that visit the States! Also great for hicking if you bring picknick and good shors along with you!
Amazing! A much better experience than any regular theater (not to sound like a hipster or anything)! Pizza while you eat, never been to a theater like this! And right by the green.
Great little spot for craft cocktails. (Blueberry mojito was too sweet for me; I'm a mojito person but this just a wee bit too sweet for this guy). Other craft cocktails great. Obscure craft beer list
A must do hike but prepare for the iron rings and ladders! Great views across the island
Fantastic roof top deck, great beer selection and burgers that will set you back a month in your diet and you'll say they're worth it!
Makes me want to visit Portland again! Amazing baguette!! Ham and cheese croissant = one of the best I ever had! Asiago fougasse = surprisingly delicious. Order all 3, you won't be disappointed.
The best oysters, IMHO, are those from Maine, and this casual Portland spot showcases the best of the state. An order of two-dozen never feels like enough. Read more.

Perhaps the best beer bar in Maine (which says a lot!). Tap-list is unreal - so well balanced between quality locals and obscure, though well curated, imports.
At first it's a bit shocking to stumble upon this incredible ode to Scandinavia in the middle of Maine. But it does exist-house-made aquavit, boards of delicious smørrebrød, & mounds of pickled fish. Read more.
Solid cocktails, good bar food, and enjoyable ambiance. Underground bar, so you can forget the world outside.
This is one of my favorite places in old port!! Excellent ambience, and wonderful cocktails, and desserts. The cheese plate is superb. They also serve absinthe if you wanted to try it.
Enjoy a personal foot soak, massage and light refreshments such as tea. Perfect retreat from retail therapy in the Old Port!
Fabulous ambience, an old church converted into an upscale restaurant. Interesting combination of flavors in everything from the cocktails, apetizers to the main course. Phenomenal.
The ambiance here is so trendy/sexy. Low lite. Staff looked sharp and attentive. Decor was that of exposed brick. Food was amazing order anything. Nice selection of beer/liquor. Old part of Maine.
One of the oldest and most popular of the trails in Portland , this beautiful loop around Portland 's Back Cove offers great views of the Portland skyline. Read more.
Open by appointment, these guys make Kombucha and some cider. You can pick up some of their wares at the local bottle shops. Different and independent.
Excellent for live acoustic blues and jazz performance. Small intimate space with great sound and feel.
Catch a sunset or sunrise. You can drive to the top and hike down a bit to catch the beautiful views of the park. Plenty of parking on top. Really a gem.
One of the must see gems in the park, it's rare for sand to be created here. Easily worth spending a whole day relaxing here. Parking can be tough. There is also a great view along park road.
An awesome fresh water pond with a beautiful 3 mile hiking trail around it. No swimming because it's used for public drinking water but they do allow kayaks.
Easy 3.2 mile loop around the pond with fantastic views. After your hike, stop at the restaurant for some pop overs and a drink.
Beautiful easy trail to hike. You can pick it up in a few places like Thunder Hole or start at Sand Beach. If it's hard to find parking you can park further down.
Unusual flavors. Mint was super fresh tasting (but not toothpastey). Would love to see more info about ingredients and gluten free info.
Join Chef Nathan Haddock Wed.-Saturday from 5-9pm in the Bistro on Eden for great food and drinks.. Live Jazz every Fri. & Sat. from 6-9pm
So yummy! The Lobster Diavlo is definitely one of the best meals I've had in my life. (It can def feed 3 ppl instead of just 2 btw)
This is the gold standard of lobster rolls. Each sandwich gets a mix of claw, tail and knuckle meat, a light spread of mayo and a drizzle of butter and is served on a white, round bun. Read more.
Waterman's has two dozen picnic tables scattered around a lawn & a sailcloth-canopied deck. The day's haul is steamed over salt water, which gives the meat a briny tang while keeping it firm. Read more.
The lobster roll was very light on the mayo, perfect for drawing out the tastes of the lobster. Definitely get a cup of the clam chowder with your order, I don't think I've had better. Cash only!
My fave shack w/ outdr seating & view of Casco Bay. Super fresh & cheap: fried scallops, crab+lobster rolls, lobsters right off boat! Clam Chowda's full of clams. + BEST blueberry ice cream ever! ;9
Truly the best lobster I've ever had! Be sure to try the "soft shell" lobster (my new favorite). The lobster roll was delicious. Seeing it get pulled up fresh from the docks made it even tastier!
One of the best lobster rolls in ME. Homemade bun, huge chunks of fresh lobster, overlooking the sweetest harbor in Musc. Bay. BYOwine, pick wildflowers to put in a growler & make an afternoon of it.
The FRESHEST lobster I had this whole week in Maine! Amazing to watch the gal just pull them up out of the water from the trap.
A visit to Acadia would be incomplete without Thurstons. The only way it gets any fresher is if they put it on your plate from the boat. Oh wait, they do. Snag a Lobster Ale as the perfect complement.
All the lobster things are delicious. The quesadilla and mac and cheese are especially good. Finish with a slice of perfect blueberry pie, which has a hint of lime.
A bit out of the way, but right now (end of July) the Lobster rolls are 2 for $10. Seriously.
Great small brewery. There is a food truck and cornhole so it makes for a great fun place
One of the best meals I've had in recent times. Did the "choose your own" tasting menu with beet salad, humbolt fog cheese (big serving), steak tartar, truffle lobster mac and cheese, & lemon soufflé.
