50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Falmouth

“Came to Dockside Grill for our first dinner in Maine and were seated quickly (had reservations). The drinks were great, and the food was delicious — the Caesar salad with scallops was absolutely amazing.

Of course, we had to try the Bang Bang Shrimp and the chowder — both lived up to the hype and did not disappoint.

Overall, it was a great experience. While the service was a little slow, the place was packed — so just be patient and enjoy the time with family and friends.

Definitely recommend checking this place out — and don’t miss the Lobster Grilled Cheese!“

“I ordered my so son’s first birthday smash cake here and couldn’t be happier with it! I asked if they could make it a golf ball and he said they would try, but weren’t sure they could do that (he said they’d make it golf theme if the ball wasn’t feasible and I was perfectly fine with that). They were able to make the golf ball and it came out better than I was hoping for! I was also blown away by how reasonable the cost was. Definitely recommend them for custom cakes!“

“🍕DAVE PORTNOY pizza review needs to come here.🍕If you’re a true pizza lover, this place is a must. One slice in, and you’ll understand why it’s in a league of its own. What really sets this pizza apart is the attention to detail. Every bite has that addictive balance of salty, savory, and just a hint of sweetness. It’s the kind of pizza that makes you pause mid-bite and say, WOW! The SAUCE and the DOUGH is worth the ride.

The sauce was rich, tangy, and full of flavor without overpowering the rest. The cheese? Melted to golden, bubbly perfection. Maine’s best dough? 🤔 it’s in the conversation.

My friend had their steak bomb and a small greek salad and told me they both were outstanding. Their greek salad dressing they make right there is fire 🔥. I think ownership takes a lot of pride in their menu. FHOP! Well done I’m giving you a 9.3 out of 10. So far that’s the highest rating I have given. 😊“

“Rivalries is one of our go-to spots for great food, a welcoming vibe, and catching the game in a fun atmosphere. Whether we’re meeting friends, unwinding after a long day of moves, or grabbing lunch during the workday, the experience is always solid.

The menu hits the mark every time—fresh, consistent, and with plenty of options. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the space has just the right mix of comfort and energy.

As a local business ourselves, we appreciate places like Rivalries that continue to deliver a great experience, time and time again.

“Friendly, great food, and fast service“

“Burt was our server and helped us make excellent choices. Nachos were delicious for an appetizer. My dirty martini was just right! My husband had grilled salmon and I had broiled haddock which were both perfect! Easy to get seated. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the Freeport /Yarmouth area.“

“Impossibly wonderful food and vibe! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We popped into Central Provisions today on our stay in Portland and I was blown away by this restaurant. It was a very intimate, beautiful space with amazing flavor. Our server, Andy, made the experience. They were very kind and made dining with an allergy a breeze. Do not skip Central Provisions when you come to Portland!

Dietary restrictions: Their allergen menu is wildly helpful. It's color coded and makes it very clear what is and is not safe, and whether or not an allergen can be removed from the dish. I have a severe nut allergy and I felt completely safe eating here.“

“I dream of their roti and curry dipping sauce, and no visit is complete without the ginger tofu noodles.“

“We had such a delicious meal at Scales! Everything was presented beautifully and tasted excellent. Service was on-point and the atmosphere is super chic. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone in the Portland area!“

“We highly enjoyed our visit to the area and Eventide! Food was great - oysters and lobster roll were amazing, great atmosphere, and employee serving oysters gave us good info on area. We will definitely make another visit to Eventide from Austin, TX!“

“some of the best falafel I've ever had, hands down!“

“Today, I enjoyed lunch with an old friend at Luke's Lobster, situated at the end of Portland Pier on the waterfront. Should you find yourself in Portland, I suggest visiting them; you will not be disappointed.“

“Enjoyed our evening at Street & Company, as always. The two of us shared a fresh heirloom tomato salad, the swordfish, and the scallops. All were delicious. Topped it off with bourbon pecan pie and the rice pudding for dessert. We visit Portland once or twice a year, and Street & Company is always one of the highlights of the trip. Highly recommended.“

“The menu is creative and interesting and every dish delivered was wonderful. Our entrees took a long time and at least two of them arrived cold (but still delicious.) The noise level is high, but it always is and matches this venerable restaurant's energy level.“

“just amazing in every way“

“We brought our soccer team over for a team kick-off party and couldn't have picked a better spot. The staff was so friendly and excited to see us, the food/drinks were delicious, and all our families said it was the perfect spot to gather. We'll definitely be back!“

“The best breakfast I have ever had, and I own a breakfast restaurant 😂 Super friendly staff, well worth the wait ! If you don't try the hollandaise I will question all your life decisions.

“Went there for New Years Eve at the new location. They told us it was going be at least a 45 minute wait and we were ok with that. Host took our phone number and added us on the wait list on his tablet. Took a seat out by the host stand and waited. Another couple came in about 15 minutes after us, also a party of two, and the same host told them it was going be a wait and they took a seat next to us. Even though we had been there 15 minutes longer and greeted by same host with tablet, he forgot about us and seated them first. Even though we were waiting right next to them and he looked right at us when he came to tell them to follow him to a table. We finally just got a seat at the bar. We ordered appetizers, two rounds of drinks and dinner. Again told it was going be a wait because kitchen was backed up. That was fine. Got our drinks and appetizers. Then my girlfriend’s entrée finally came out but they forgot to bring mine! I thought it would be out in a few minutes, but after 1o more minutes waiting for my food I finally inquired, and they had somehow forgotten my entrée. They comp’d one round of drinks. Love the new location. Love the food. But we chose the wrong night to go! I’ve never gone out to eat and ordered the food and had them forget to bring my entrée out.. By the time I got my dinner my girlfriend was done with her food. Just asked them to bag it for take-away. Still tipped 20% as I’ve worked twenty years in resturants. Kind of disappointed with New Years Eve dinner. Took the night off early to go have a nice meal and they forgot my meal!“

“My girlfriend and I had a wonderful dinner on 2-15. We sat at the end of the sushi bar- it was a little tight when it got busy, but it’s definitely the best sushi place we’ve been to. Our server Chad was awesome and made us feel very welcome. I told a few friends and decided to write a review“

“i stopped in on my lunch break. the food was delicious. the service was amazing! i will be back“

“My husband and I had lunch here before an appointment nearby. This restaurant had delicious food. My husband ordered the Down east Ruben, which was made with deep fried haddock with Cole slaw piled high on the bun with melted cheese. He said it was delicious! I opted for the classic BLT. Again, the sandwich was delicious. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh and ample bacon was piled on top. I watched a young man bus the tables. He was extremely thorough cleaning the tables and seating. He even washed the items on the table (salt & pepper shakers, ketchup and hot sauce bottles). This young man then set the tables for new customers. Being a bit of a clean freak, I appreciated this young man's work. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant.“

“I have no idea how I had never come here before, and now we will get burritos and quesadillas from nowhere else. DELICIOUS. NO other local place comes close to the fresh, exceptionally tasty, and generous portion. Staff so lovely. Must return to try empanadas. The vibe inside is so cute, I look forward to coming back to eat in.“

“Everything was delicious! Owner took special care making the gluten free dishes!“

“😀 We have been here twice and we greatly enjoyed each visit! The food and atmosphere are excellent. The people are friendly and I loved the bar. We will be back. Please support this family run restaurant!“

“great experience from moment one. the host welcomed me into the cozy restaurant and escorted me upstairs to a table by the window. i ordered a shot of espresso and a mimosa that came out promptly. couldn’t decide between the cinnamon apple pancake or the lobster scramble so i got both and was glad i did; words can’t do them justice.“

“The best in Portland. Great beer and wonderful employees. Cannot wait until they can distribute to Minnesota!!“

“They have bhindi and aloo gobi and other items that not all Indian places have“

“Had a drink and oysters during happy hour and it was a great experience. Bartender Andy was so friendly and polite and gave some great recommendations for local spots to visit. Would definitely come regularly if I was a local.“

“Where else can you get Belgian beers on tap and get threatened with violence by the server? Happened to me 8-13-23 4pm out on the deck. Never will I bring out-of-Towners there again.“

“Awesome place! We went for the first time yesterday, and we were not disappointed with the food and drinks! The 🦞 roll was one of the best that we’ve had. We ordered a cheese plate and oysters as well, and they were both delicious. Hidden gem tucked away in the Old Port! We will definitely be back again.“
