Ready to try something new? Maine Restaurant Week is your chance to try a new restaurant or dish and take advantage of great deals. This much-appreciated cabin-fever reliever runs March 1-2, 2024.
This year, more than 60 restaurants are participating. While the majority are in Greater Portland (Cape Elizabeth, Cumberland, North Yarmouth, Portland, Scarborough, South Portland, and Yarmouth), you’ll find options sprinkled statewide.
You’ll find participants in Bangor, Bethel, Blue Hill, Biddeford, Brunswick, Camden, Hallowell, Lewiston, Norway, Ogunquit, Old Town, Presque Isle, Saco, Spruce Head, Topsham, Wells, and Woolwich. Phew!
And the list keeps growing, so keep checking the Maine Restaurant Week list.
Even better, this event helps support Preble Street, which helps those experiencing homelessness, hunger, and poverty.
Here’s the Maine Restaurant Week deal
Each participating restaurant will offer either a three-course set menu or Maine Restaurant Week specials. Set menus have four price points: $25, $35, $45, or $55. Searchable options include breakfast, brunch, dessert, lunch, and dinner, as well as vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. You can also see which restaurants offer outdoor seating or takeaway meals.
Do make reservations, as this is one extremely popular annual event.
