50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Cape Elizabeth

“The chipotle lobster roll was great no spicy at all but a lot off lobster. Long line but they moved quickly. Will definitely come back“

“Had some great seafood here. They views from the picnic tables outside is amazing. You are right on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. Be warned of 2 things though. Because this place is super popular parking is very limited and you will wait quite a while for your food. But worth it.“

“Our Garden Suite was awesome! Super comfortable and well appointed, awesome soaking tub, the nicest robes, great views and quick walk to the beach. Loved how dog friendly it is. Dog bowls, dog blanket, dog towel, ball, poopie bags and a giant biscuit greeted our pup. Dogs are even allowed in the tavern. Hot chocolate and cookies in the lobby at night. Chocolates in the room. Free use of the steam room and experience shower in the spa for guests. Staff is great! That’s just to name a few things that makes the Inn by the Sea great! We can’t wait to go back!“

“Every dish we had melted in our mouths—the crab cake, greens, and duck hashbrowns. Our final course, the foie gras touchon, was simply divine—I could have easily had two! The Bellinis on tap were also very good—smooth and refreshing. Our server, Emma, and the rest of the staff worked the room beautifully, in a charming and friendly manner. All in all, we left with full stomachs and hearts—until the next time!“

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

“I would highly recommend Fore Street. We went there for our anniversary and we were welcomed with a personalized note as we sat down. The ambiance, service, and food were all excellent. It may be a little more expensive than some other restaurants but it is very much worth it. We reserved space in the bar area and thoroughly enjoyed it. The bartender was welcoming, courteous, and helpful with drink and food recommendations. We tried a few new things based on his recommendations and all them were cooked to perfection and delicious. Looking forward to a return visit next time we're in Portland.“

“Had the grilled Tuna with brocholli rabs and blisted tomatoes (which I assumed would be a warm item - but were cold), and a cup of the tomatoe bisque soup, all was outstanding for such a cold and icy nite. Wife had a bowl of the tomatoe soup and brussel sprouts salad - wonderful Any time we make the trek from AZ to Maine, Street & Co is an automatic place to dine at, great offerings, always fresh and a few chef options, you'd never be dis-appointed“

“A must restaurant in Portland. Excellent atmosphere & top notch seafood ❤️“

“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“

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

“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.“

The limeades are great if you enjoy tart drinks, which i do. We will absolutely be stopping by again next time we're in the area!“

“Bayside is awesome! We've been fans for years. Never had anything we didn't like. This afternoon, we tried their pumpkin french toast special and psssshhhh, you kidding me?! SO GOOD. TOO good. Their home fries are always on point and if you're an eggs benedict lover, they've got several delicious options to choose from. The staff and atmosphere are great too! Bayside for the win!“

“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!“

“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“
