Eat Drink Lucky has released their 2025 Must Eat List, a compendium of 68 not to be missed dishes from restaurants in Portland and South Portland.
We’ve updated our Must Eat List for 2025 with 68 mouthwatering dishes. This year’s list shows Portland’s changing dining scene: sandwiches are serious business and regional and global flavors shape local favorites. Portland (with a few South Portland standouts) continues to surprise with dishes that are craveable, creative, and (mostly) easy on the wallet.
You’ll see some favorites from last year still holding strong, and plenty of new bites worth discovering.
