Best Restaurants in East Bayside, Portland, ME
Six spots in East Bayside, all Damn Good. No stars yet, but two have Beard recognition.
Izakaya Minato carries a James Beard Finalist 2026 nod, and The Honey Paw backs it up with a 2024 Semifinalist badge — both Damn Good, not higher, which tells you where our bar sits. Round out the list with Lil Chippy, Banh Appetit, Bite Into Maine, and Duckfat, running from $ to $$$. Nobody's cracked our top tiers here. Come hungry anyway.
