Big Tree Hospitality—the restaurant group that i Big Tree Hospitality—the restaurant group that includes Eventide, The Honey Paw, XO, and Hugo’s—are the new owners of @higginsbeachmkt in Scarborough. Big Tree intends to operate the seasonal market much like it has been with no plans to convert it to an outpost of their Middle Street restaurants. “It is our hope that Higgins Beach Market continues to be the well-loved local mainstay it has been for many seasons’ past, serving the Higgins Beach community and beyond. In keeping with the market’s previous offerings we will have breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus, as well as grab-and-go options, local produce, beer and wine, fresh flowers, and some sundries.” Higgins Beach Market will be open 7 days a week, 7 am – 8 pm starting on Memorial Day weekend. #bigtreehospitality #higginsbeachmarket #scarboroughmaine #beachseason

The highly anticipated opening of Jackrabbit Cafe The highly anticipated opening of Jackrabbit Cafe (@jackrabbit.maine) is slated to take place late next month—tentatively on April 21st. The bakery and cafe from @elda.maine chef/owner Bowman Brown will “focus on Scandinavian-inspired breads and pastries as well as seasonal vegetable dishes, sandwiches, and heartier small plates”. Jackrabbit is located in the first floor of 14 Main Street in Biddeford. The second floor of the newly renovated building will be the future home of Elda when it re-opens. Brown moved to Maine from Salt Lake City where he was the co-owner and chef of Forage. He was a @foodandwine Best New Chef in 2011. Additionally, Brown was six time Beard semifinalists in the Best Chef: Southwest from 2011 to 2016. Elda was named one of the Best New Restaurants in America by Bill Addison at Eater in 2018, and was the feature of a New York Times article in that same year. A copy of the draft menu is on the Portland Food Map website (link in bio). #biddefordmaine #jackrabbitcafe #scandinavianbakery #biddefordfoodmap
@brickyardhollow brewing has leased the former Ara @brickyardhollow brewing has leased the former Arabica coffee shop at 9 Commercial Street where they plan to open a 60+ seat pizzeria and brew pub with a menu similar to what they offer at their location in Freeport. The room will feature a long bar along the right side of the room, a banquet along the left wall and table seating throughout the rest of the dining room. The 3,000 sq ft space will soon be under renovation and the owners hope to open by mid-summer. Brickyard plans to keep their main brewing facility in Yarmouth but will likely be producing small batch specialty beers on Commercial Street. Brickyard Hollow Brewing launched in Yarmouth in 2018 and opened their Freeport location in 2019. This new outpost follows a pattern of other Maine breweries (e.g. Oxbow, Banded Brewing and Batson River) that have opened second locations in the city after founding their business elsewhere in the state. #mainebeer #portlandmaine #brickyardhollowbrewing #indiastreetneighborhood
A new cafe called Cera (@eatcera) is under constru A new cafe called Cera (@eatcera) is under construction in Monument Square. Cera will be offering a menu of “elevated sandwiches and salads” available 7-days a week from their ground floor space in 1 Monument Square. The 22-seat 1,300 sq ft cafe will be open 11 am – 8 pm will have available corporate catering options to serve the needs of downtown businesses in addition to on site dining and to go meals for individual customers. During warmer months Cera plans to have a 24-seat patio in the square. Owners Steven, Jennifer Svendsen and Sean Doherty hope to open Cera in May. Steven Lacount grew-up in the Waterville area and cites Big G’s in Winslow as one of his points of inspiration for Cera. He began is restaurant career working at Baldacci’s in Portland back in the late 1980s, and most recently worked with B.Good. Lacount has experience in helping restaurant be successful as they scale up, and hopes that Cera in Portland will be the first of what one day could be upwards of 10 locations. Chef Sean Doherty (@naes2020) will be leading the culinary team at Cera. Doherty has worked at Harding Smith's Rooms restaurants. He also has strong interest in koji and fermentation, and was recently a presenter at the KojiCon online conference. At Cera, koji will be part of the process Dorherty uses to prepare their house-made pastrami. There’s more info and some items from the draft menu on our website (link in bio). #portlandmaine #sandwichesandsalads #monumentsquare #cera #mainefood #comingsoon2021
@canopy_portland_waterfront the 135-room hotel und @canopy_portland_waterfront the 135-room hotel under construction at the corner of Commercial and Center Streets, is expected to open in May. When it does, Portland's newest hotel will be home to a rooftop bar and ground floor all-day cafe and restaurant. Located on the sixth floor overlooking Commercial Street, the 88-seat @lunaportlandme will feature both an indoor and outdoor seating areas with excellent views looking out over the Portland harbor and along Commercial Street (2nd image) serving a mix of classic and contemporary craft cocktails. The 53-seat street level restaurant and espresso bar @saltyardportland (1st photo) will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hotel is looking to put together a menu that has equal appeal for overnight guests and for locals and folks who work in the Old Port. Salt Yard will be serving coffee from @rwandabeancompany . The name of the restaurant is a reference to salt-glazed earthenware that was made in E. Swasey Pottery building next door during the 19th Century. @chef_matt_duley —formerly executive sous chef for Union at The Press Hotel—will be leading the kitchen staff at Canopy. “We’re looking forward to creating menus that are fresh, fun and reflective of the culinary scene in Portland. At Luna, guests can expect some sophisticated and playful dishes that are meant to be shared when you’re having a good time with friends and family. Salt Yard will have something that speaks to everyone; I’m especially excited about the coffee program and breakfast. Lunch and dinner will be twists on favorites that everyone loves, and our open fired oven will play a big role in some signature dishes.” #portlandmaine #portlandmainefood #rooftopbar #cocktailbar #canopyportlandwaterfront
