Another trip to Portland, even though part of our trip (to Montreal leading to Portland) had to get cancelled. We ended up driving up to Portland, instead of down to Portland, from Montreal. We padded the Portland portion with an extra night, and stayed at the Portland Harbor Hotel - a pretty nice property for the price. Then again, it's off season, so all the hotels were very reasonable.
We did some damage to oysters, mostly within the same restaurant group since I didn't want to take any chances, and they do the best job...in my opinion.
We'd never eaten at Street & Co., so on our first night we ate here - like a 2-minute walk from our hotel.
The six on top are Pemaquids, from the Damariscotta River. The bottom six - Wolfe Necks, from Yarmouth. (no complaints).
A really nice linguini with clam sauce couldn't be passed up.
Night Two - it had to be Scales, at the bar.
An excellent local halibut ceviché. Significant Eater was all in...
While I opted for something a little different...
A whole fluke, which could've fed 3 people.
We did stop at a new bar, located right around the corner from our AirBnB, for a nightcap...
Lovely little place.
We did veer off-course, to check out Leeward, on our 3rd night in Portland...
No pix, but excellent pastas, all made in-house. Night four, back to our old fave, Fore Street...
Clockwise from top: Wet Smacks, Bombazines, Cora Cressy (4 each).
We followed up dinner with...
And dessert.
I still contend that Portland, ME is the best city in the country for devouring excellent oysters and other seafood!
