You can’t walk down the street in
Portland without bumping into several
ways to treat your taste buds, which
is why Maine Foodie Tours now offers
culinary walking and trolley tours, so
you can sample delectable foods while
getting a behind-the-scenes look at the
craft makers and their industry.
Maine is synonymous with lobster and
you can have it any way you like —
steamed with butter and corn, in rich
chowder or bisque, or packed into a
toasted roll. Certainly indulge in the
succulent crustacean but also experi-
ence the new tastes of Maine seafood.
In affiliation with organizations such as
the Gulf of Maine Research Institute
and the Maine Aquaculture Associa-
tion, Maine chefs have the luxury of
working directly with local harvesters
to provide the freshest products while
knowing they are featuring abundant,
under-utilized, and responsibly har-
vested seafood. This partnership has
provided new seafood products for
our menus, opportunities for diners
to learn new ways to prepare delicious
dishes, and needed resources for
our fishermen, all the while jointly
working to create a more sustainable
fisheries industry.
The aromas of fresh-roasted coffee
and tangy hops accompany you as you
stroll throughout the area. Whether
you come primarily for the beautiful
scenery or for the fabulous food, you’ll
enjoy both once you arrive — often at
the same time!
