There are lots of great foods to try in Maine and it’s often hard to choose a favorite. But, of course, lobster rolls are typically high on many lists. Tourists flock to the state in the summer gobbling them up throughout the state. But, what do we do when they’re out of season? Easy! Choose any of the other great things on offer in Vacationland, starting with the ones on this list.
- Poutine, Duckfat
Adrian Tirados / Google The Poutine served at Duckfat is legendary, but add a sunny-side up egg and you’ll be in heaven! This dish is a Maine favorite and you won’t want to miss it.
- ANY Seafood, J’s Oyster
Geno Villafano / Google Nope, you don’t need to snag the oysters to count a trip to this Portland institution a success. Mussels here are incredible, as is every other dish from the sea.
- The Maple Bacon Donut, Holy Donut
The Holy Donut / Facebookc This beauty is a favorite among people who flock to this Maine shop. Everything they offer is great, but somehow the mix of maple and bacon feels very Maine.
- The Giant Sandwiches, Po’ Boys & Pickles
Po’ Boys & Pickles / Facebook This Maine institution is a great place to visit when you’re hugely hungry. Check out the atomic patty melt featuring an 8oz. burger, bacon, jam, pickled jalapenos, Cheddar cheese, roasted garlic mayo on grilled sourdough. Not sure this is for you? Their menu has plenty of other goodies to try!
- Blueberry Mint Smoothie, Maine Squeeze Juice Cafe
Maine Squeeze Juice Cafe / Facebook While wild Maine blueberries aren’t always in season, we love that they can be frozen to enjoy all year. Head to any Maine Squeeze location for one of the most delicious treats in the state. Each thing on the menu here is great, but you can’t beat the taste of Vacationland in the form of those blueberries.
- The Perfect Sauerkraut, Morse’s Sauerkraut
Kurt12123 / TripAdvisor This German market in Maine offers everything from cured meats to European candy, but we absolutely love the sauerkraut!
- Seasonal pies, OTTO pizza
OTTO / Google OTTO Pizza offers tons of traditional pies, but we particularly appreciate the ones that just feel more Maine. In the fall look for Thanksgiving-themed pies, like this one with sweet potato!
