50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Falmouth

“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!“

“Great service and excellent food! My favorite weekend breakfast spot.“

“My oh my… can you say taste bud explosion! Have been exclusively patronizing George's Foreside House of Pizza for ten years now. And no plans to stop :)
Tried ‘em all, but when you find the best… well, you know the rest of the story.“

“Rivalries has always been one of my favorite spots, especially in the summertime. Whether I’m hanging out on the deck, stopping by for lunch, or watching a Boston sports game with friends, it’s always a great time. The food may be classic pub style, but it’s pub style on steroids—I’ve never had a bad meal here.

Lance, the owner, is often around and genuinely takes time to check in on guests, which is a great touch. But the real star of the staff is Jen, the head manager. She’s absolutely phenomenal to work with, especially when it comes to planning a function. Whether it’s a small family gathering or a larger group event, Jen’s professionalism, experience, and friendly approach make the whole process easy—and even fun.

They truly do a great job all around, and I always look forward to coming back.“

“This is one of our go to restaurants. We went last night because they were donating a percentage of sales to charitable organizations who support New Mainers. Our meals have always been very good. We were in the bar area and it was busy, so the noise level was high.“

“The salmon bento was the best.“

“The food was incredible, the view was beautiful, the atmosphere was nice. But one of the young ladies at the check in for reservations was not incredibly personable or helpful. Eventually they got it together, but we almost walked away pretty unimpressed and scrambling to find somewhere else to go despite calling several days ahead for a reservation. Aside from that, zero complaints. It was more reasonably priced than expected. It was roughly $60 for an entree and a dessert.“

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

“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!“

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

“Yes, yes and YES! From the corn bread, the spicy beef salad, whitefish beignet (special), kimchi and suckling pig, up to the key lime tart, everything was spot on. The small plates were staged well, (thank you Lauren B) and paired wonderfully so flavors didn’t compete. Cocktails were “Death Becomes Her” and “Unleash the Lion”, unique, well balanced and interesting. Thank you for warming us up on a cold Monday night. Apologies, but too busy enjoying the food and company to retrieve my phone for pics. Unplugged dinners are much better.“

“Oysters ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lobster roll, service and drinks all a must try. Can not wait to return to Maine to revisit.“

“We totally enjoyed our first visit to Luke’s. There were 4 of us. The service was quick, the food was delicious, the vibe was somewhat key west and the staff were so great!! Definitely returning. Thank you“

“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. Blueberry Fleur Mimosa ... 12/10! Try this spot if you're in the area, we will travel back 3 hours just for brunch !“

“Got super lucky and was able to get a table on walk-in! (Was 7:30pm on a Saturday). Most delicious food ever. All fresh! Farm to table! so cool you can see the chefs making it right from practically the farm and delivered right to your table! Sourdough bread was a delicious and delightful complementary course- baked right downstairs! I got the spinach & feta pie (10/10) and my mom got the braised chicken (10/10). Such good quality food. To top off the night we got a crème brûlée and scoop of malted cider ice cream. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!“

“We've been here about a half dozen times over the last few years and are always surprised that it's even better than we remembered. The grilled octopus appetizer is an absolute must order. I almost always get blackened tuna, rare. Even when it is not on the menu, they are happy to do it. The rice pudding is also amazing. Even given the many good options in Portland, a visit to Street and Co is essential on any trip there.“

“All I can say is amen hallelujah! I had an incredible eisbock and the pierogi. Perfect pairing, smooth pour, great place. 100% recommend!“

“Went for Oyster Social/Happy Hour they do on Wednesdays after a local recommended I try…had a little bit of everything and some punch. I’m not easy to impress. It was DIVINE!!! Delicious fresh seafood, excellent quality, great drinks, just a very nice experience I wish I were local to attend every week! Highly recommend!“

“Second time here, and again so good! Can’t wait to come back!!“

“Brought some of your Maine State Lager home with me to Villa Rica Georgia. What a fantastic beer!!!“

“I always enjoy stopping in when I’m in the Portland area! Only place with other options besides the ol run of the mill lobster with butter or mayo. Delicious!“

“Some like old antique places and find them charming. I do not. Our server was wonderful in my opinion and the food runners. All food was prepared well. My issue was amount of options and flavors. Interesting flavors did not love. Quality preparation. Very few drink options if you aren’t drinking alcohol. Their menu rotates so maybe it’s better on a different menu.“

“One of the best dining experiences in Portland highly recommend“

“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“

“Great food and friendly service! Love this place“

“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 stopped in Blazes today, had been craving a burger, and they didn’t disappoint! The cowboy burger was delicious, burger cooked just right, the onions and peppers perfectly caramelized, the sauce, bacon, and cheese, exactly the fat you want in a good burger. The bun was perfect and gave the perfect bread to burger/toppings ratio. And the side of onion rings was great, good portion, nice and crispy, not burnt and not soggy. Highly recommend!“

“This place is amazing. Very LGBTQ friendly, and wonderfully nice management.“

“Some of the best beer in Southern Maine, always a ton on tap“

“Amazing food, drinks and service, a true gem!!“

“Shared a lunch before a Maine Celtics game at the Expo. Easy walk and great food. Excellent service and perfect choice for the whole family. Empanadas were the consensus fave, but everything was fresh and yummy. Will definitely be back ...“

“The best authentic Vietnamese food you can find. Can never get enough of the egg rolls 🤤“

“Service seemed like she rather be anywhere else BUT the food was delicious. Definitely recommend lobster Benedict and the Maine blueberry pancakes!“

“I don’t normally leave reviews, but I feel like Bayside warrants one. I had a very positive experience from the moment I arrived until I left. The staff were all very friendly and easy to talk to, their service was exceptional, and the food was very good. I absolutely recommend eating here and will be coming back the next time I’m in the area.“

“Absolutely amazing flavors! Great staff. Had a vegetarian sampler plate (had all our favorites) and a lamb gyro pizza (never had one before...never heard of one).....a new favorite! Skip the seafood and try the Olive Cafe!“

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

“I have been going here since I was very young. Maria has always been the hardest dedicated worker I've ever met. She always made the pizza perfect. Always recommended. I watched Maria's kids grow up into young adults and work there as well. Be in soon Maria“

“everytime I come to Portland I try new restaurants and this place definitely is one of my favorites so far! great on a cold day“

“We LOVE an evening out at Tuscan Table, South Portland location in fact we go every week! Our preferred place to sit is at the bar where we know we will always get excellent service from our favorite server Sammy. Sammy always greets us with a friendly smile and remembers what we like to drink, she also remembers how we like each dish that is ordered prepared even if we forget to ask, she knows. Sammy makes eating at the Tuscan a wonderful welcoming experience every time. Thank you Sammy and see you next week! Nancy & Eddie“

“Sure, Mabel! Here’s a polished, friendly review letter you can use: --- Restaurant Review I recently visited this restaurant for the very first time, and I was truly impressed from start to finish. The food was so delicious that I actually found myself wishing I could get the recipes to make the dishes at home later. I ordered the chicken sandwich, and it was one of the most unique and flavorful sandwiches I’ve ever had. Every bite was incredible. My friend ordered the steak and cheese, and it must have been amazing because she ate every last bite of it without hesitation! The staff deserves special recognition as well. They were excellent, kind, and especially patient with my service dog in training, who is only five months old. Their understanding and welcoming attitude made the whole experience even better. Overall, this was a wonderful first visit, and I will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!“

“Best breakfast sandwich I have ever had was today's special at Dara Bistro: crispy fried chicken breast, scrambled egg, cheese, a drizzle of maple syrup and sliced jalapenos on delicious homemade bread.“

“From the food to the staff, it couldn't have been better. The moment you walk through the door you know this is a REAL BBQ joint. Smoked meats with tons of natural flavor, great portion sizes, really tasty sides. The owner loves what he does and it shows.“

“An unpretentious, low-key German restaurant that lives up to the hype . Delicious , real deal German food ..just like your oma would make !“
