Show some love to your favorite Maine restaurant, March 1st-March 12th!

For the first 12 days of March, you can show your appreciation to local establishments that are participating in Maine Restaurant week, and if even if some places aren't, it's still a good idea to give them your business!

It started in 2008, and is still going strong in 2025.

This annual event celebrates Maine's vibrant culinary scene, featuring a variety of participating restaurants across the state.

Over 100 restaurants from across Maine will offer special menus, including three-course meals at fixed prices of $38, $48, or $58.

Maine Restaurant Week supports Preble Street, a nonprofit organization helping people experiencing homelessness, hunger, and poverty.

The list of participating places is long, and most are based in the Portland area, but hey, maybe this a good time to take a road trip and enjoy one of the many, many, fine dining options we have here in Maine!
