Thistle & Grouse (@thistleandgrouse) will open Fri Thistle & Grouse (@thistleandgrouse) will open Friday at 4 pm. The restaurant is located at 10 Cotton Street. The newly renovated space features a 2-story dining room with a bar on the first floor. The menu (3rd image) includes raw bar options, cheese and charcuterie boards as well as small plates like a Maplebrook Farm Burrata plated with apple, celery and walnuts and entrees like the Seafood Cassoulet and Sunday Roast Prime Rib. Thistle & Grouse serves custom cocktails and mocktails, wines by the glass, beers, and ciders (Norumbega and Freedom’s Edge). The bar is stocked with a wide selection of spirits including 14 bourbons, 10 ryes, 19 Scotches as well as whiskeys from Ireland and Japan. The restaurant is being launched by Kimberly Kraus and chef Bobby Will. Will has worked at restaurants run by well known chefs like Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Ken Oringer, and Jamie Bissonette. He was the executive chef at Saltaire Oyster Bar in Port Chester when the New York Times gave it a rating of Excellent in 2015. Also on the team are general manager Julia Mcinnis and bar manager Corey Schallek. All four worked together at Kraus’ and Will’s former restaurant Salt and Steel in Bar Harbor. Thistle & Grouse will be open Tuesday through Saturday starting at 4 pm with late night hours on the weekends and happy hour each day they’re open, 4 – 5 pm. Reservations are available on Resy. #mainefood
Adam Roberson and Jesse Soto have leased the forme Adam Roberson and Jesse Soto have leased the former Perennial Cider Bar space at 84 Main Street in Belfast where they plan to open Dos Gatos Gastropub (@dos_gatos_gastropub). Dos Gatos will serve a taco-centric menu prepared with house-made tortillas. They plan to offer traditional standards as well as some taco combos of their own design (e.g. duck confit, crab, etc). The bar program will include classic cocktails and specialize in margarita variations with an extended selection of mezcals and tequilas. Soto and Roberson have been thoroughly renovating and redesigning the space with the aim of creating a venue that “combines vintage charm with a mischievously playful approach.” Overall Dos Gatos will seat 30 with a pair of lounge areas, a 14-seat bar and table seating. The Dos Gatos experience will be informed by Roberson’s and Soto’s global travel and experience with and within the restaurant industry. Their aim is to create an “overall ambiance that captures the essence of a memorable dining journey”. Dos Gatos is slated to open in December. Stay tuned to their instagram account for updates and an announcement on an opening day. #midcoastmaine #mainefood
Here’s a new set of photos from 8 spots across M Here’s a new set of photos from 8 spots across Maine’s burgeoning food scene. Between old standbys and new/er establishments there are a seemingly endless number of spots to visit and share with you. Give them a follow and drop in on your next road-trip. **Do you have a favorite eatery outside the Portland area? Tag or mention them in the comments so we can keep them in mind for future road trips.** The details (in order of the photos): -This grain bowl of delicata squash, kim chi, slaw, rice and grilled tofu made for an excellent lunch at Chase’s Daily (@chasesdailykitchen) in Belfast. Chase’s has been a cornerstone of the Midcoast dining scene since it launched in 2000. -The Vault is located on Main Street in Houlton, the seat of Aroostook County. David and Kristen Wells took over the restaurant in 2019. They serve a menu of bistro classics and elevated pub fare. -Bagel Central (@bagel_central_bangor) is located in downtown Bangor. The counter service restaurant has a large communal dining area where guests can enjoy soups, salads, daily specials and bagel sandwiches like The Penobscot (hot pastrami and swiss with stone-ground mustard). -@rococoicecream opened a dessert bar at their new location in Kennebunk serving composed desserts like the Olive Oil Cake & Caviar ( orange cardamom olive oil cake, salty sweet cream ice cream, smoked trout roe). -The cafe at the Brookside Inn in Smyrna Mills should be a part of any visit to Aroostook County. Shown here is a plate of fluffy scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries and house baked cinnamon swirl toast. -Here’s a look at the Farro Salad (chicken, red onion, butternut squash, raisins, dried cherries, mixed fresh herbs, spinach) at Utopia (@utopiabangor) in Bangor. They offer a variety of options for gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free customers. -Rosie’s County Bakery and Grill is in the town of Mars Hill. Definitely make the time to stop in for some of their fresh baked donuts when you’re visiting Aroostook County. -The Hoot is a farm to table restaurant located in Northport. They source a lot of the meat and produce served from their own 700-acre farm. They’re open seasonally. #16countieseats #mainefood
Tina Cromwell has leased the former Ela Market & G Tina Cromwell has leased the former Ela Market & Grill building at 125 Bucknam Road in Falmouth where she plans to relaunch her gluten-free business Bam Bam Bakery (@bam_bam_bakery). Cromwell will be selling the baked goods that earned Bam Bam such a strong reputation in the gluten-free community. The cinnamon rolls will be back and she hopes to ramp up the production of cakes and cupcakes. Savory options such as chicken pot pie, pizza and sandwiches are also part of the vision for the new location. In the future she also hopes to add a gluten-free market to the space to enable one-stop shopping for her customers. Cromwell shared she’s very happy to have found a location to restart Bam Bam in Falmouth where she grew up and where she raised her kids and where she makes her home. She has been hoping to launch before the holidays but a opening date is still TBD. #glutenfreebakery
A new sports bar called Jerome’s is set to takeo A new sports bar called Jerome’s is set to takeover the space being vacated by The Snug on Congress Street. According to their liquor license application, owners Sasha Salzberg, Evan Carroll, and Ian Daly plan to launch a “neighborhood alternative sports pub” that specializes in “New England sports and board sports”. They plan to serve beer, cider, seltzer and cocktails (see second image) as well and have a menu of appetizers, salads and sandwiches (see 3rd image). The new owners are making some light renovations to the space and hope to have Jerome’s open next year. The Snug’s owner Margaret Lyons announced on Wednesday that she planned to close her bar. #sportsbar
A new restaurant called Off Track Pizza is under c A new restaurant called Off Track Pizza is under construction at 15 Exchange Street. The space was most recently occupied by Lupita’s but longtime Portland residents will remember it as the original location of Walter’s. Off Track is being launched by owners Mark Hibbard and Mitchell Ryan along with business partner Josh Miranda. Ryan and Hibbard are the executive chef and the beverage director at Via Vecchia. The restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner serving a menu centered around pizza by the pie and slice and focaccia sandwiches made with bread baked daily in-house. The beverage program will include a selection of house-bottled cocktails. There will be prepared foods for customers who need a grab and go option, and Ryan and Hibbard also expect to be open for late night takeout. Overall Off Track will seat 50-60 people. The second floor dining room (which has a great view of Exchange Street) will have a flexible table set-up that can easily be reconfigured for larger groups, or potentially for private events. There will also be seating for ~10 on the first floor. Renovations to the restaurant are underway. Hibbard and Ryan hope to open Off Track Pizza this spring. #mainefood #latenitepizza
