After living here lo, these many years, I believe I've reached the ranks of


The Insider Group.


Especially in the "Good, inexpensive, tasty-food, restaurants" department.


Portland, Maine is truly blessed with more good, gooderer and best restaurants than anyplace I've ever been to – other than my hometown.  Even Boston can't compare.


BUT….

Money issues aside, there's just so many times that you want to don a jacket, wear a tie (not that you need to in many restaurants), but if your dropping the big bucks, you should at least dress for the occasion.


Fortunately, Portland also has a plethora of fabulous restaurants that lack pretensions, require nothing more than your presence and a good appetite.


Here are but a few of them.  Enjoy them.



Ciao.

  1. Now there is a challenge for you. Scoot to as many restaurants as you can in Maine and provide a review for the travel weary scooterista.

    Ride to eat rides are always fun. Of course after some meals we'd like nothing more than a nap.

    1. Ahh. Perfect. I can't wait to tell my BRW that I have another project. I can see the joy spreading across her face…. Naps, of course, are mandatory after a good meal. Don't you carry a little pillow? A nice oak tree, a pillow, and a warm day, and paradise is now.

      Someone else wrote something like this, I think he rode a Beemer.

      Oh, Oh, the close-up of the bike in my little video - isn't it kind of like what you either bought, own(ed), or were thinking about?
      Ciao, Mike.

  2. It's always fun to find the out of the way places with a phenomenal chef. And I love showcasing them. You and your sidekick have been discovering some great ones. Keep it up.

    1. It is fun, and my BSFF Tina, is a great companion….. we'd be zooming along when all of a sudden, Zoom. Zip, she whips a U-turn…. saw something that no one would ever notice and damn if it doesn't turn out to be great photographic material.

      I'm awaiting your contributions……

      Ciao, and hugs at home. Mike.

  3. Mike:

    How are we going to squeeze all these places in ? Now let me see, if we go to one place an hour . . . we'd be bloated.

    what if we all arrived . . . and never left ?

    1. Bob: That's the best way to tackle this problem. And don't forget that we've got some others that are on the rides we are going to take you on.
      Best Advice? Don't eat for the next two months.
      Ciao, Mike.
