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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Great food! We mapped out a scenic route from OOB to Freeport and we were so glad we found this place! Beautiful view. Clam chowder and crab cakes were delicious. Relaxing atmosphere and service was attentive and well done. Highly recommend definitely worth the stop!“

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

“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 !“

“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“

“This meal was a 10/10 early on just from the bread (from Standard Baking Co.) and Wood oven roasted mussels alone. The way we’d bottle the sauce they were cooked in if we could. Both the hangar steak and pork chop were seasoned and cooked to perfection. Mashed potatoes are the best we ever had. Rhubarb creme brûlée was perfect and light. Ambiance is lovely. Service was amazing. Left so happy and satisfied. Would come back over and over.“

“I had dinner at Street for the first time on Saturday. I've been hearing about it for years and didn't think it could live up to the hype. Well, it did. The food was phenomenal. Drinks were great. Service was great. Can't wait to go back.“

“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“

“Our favorite place to eat. everything is perfectly cooked and the Staff are amazing. never disappoints.“

“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!“

“We had dinner last night and it was excellent!!! Service was wonderful, drinks were perfect and the food was amazing. Highly recommend!“

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

“Love this place and the bar tenders are great!!“

“Yes, another “5-star” restaurant… but this one actually earns it.

The menu is unique—you can order single bites from several of the apps, which makes it easy to try a bunch of things (and every one hits). Think broiled Maine scallops, broiled Maine oysters, beer-battered cod cheeks, even foie gras with truffle.

The eggplant terrine? Better than Nonna’s.

Finished with the steak au poivre—cooked perfectly, with a cream sauce you’ll be thinking about later, and a silky, perfectly seasoned potato purée.

Don’t miss this one.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

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

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

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

“Great food and friendly service! Love this place“

“Loved the food and atmosphere. The empanadas were fantastic and not too heavy. Sweet fried plantains always hit the spot. The only thing I don't like is the counter service model where you have to tip before you have received any service. Luckily, service was great!“

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

“Ate there this evening celebrating my wife's birthday. Service, food, atmosphere was just amazing! Staff singing while presenting a free lava cake and Ice cream.... AMAZING evening! Highly recommended.“

“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“

“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“
