If you love authentic ramen then you will absolutely adore Suzukiya. Noodles are made fresh minutes before you eat them. The owner is usually there making his traditional dishes. There are only 13 seats, so it's advised you go a bit early. Well worth the wait.
TIP: Try the Hakata-style ramen. A mix of pork and chicken soup base & homemade organic thin noodles. topped with a slice of cha-shu, soft boiled egg, and baby bok choy.

Consistently ranked one the top 10 doughnut shops in the country. The Holy Donut has appeared in a number of national publications and is a must stop for anyone with a sweet tooth. Doughnuts are made from Potato flour (yum!). There's also a location downtown on Exchange Street if you are in the Old Port.

It’s “secret” location adds to the huge appeal of Portland’s beer geek paradise. If you’re seen wandering around Exchange Street looking thirsty, don’t be surprised if a local takes pity on you and directs you through the black wrought iron gate (there is a sign, but it’s easy to miss). Inside, the low-ceilinged, cozy rooms with communal tables are more like a European beer hall than an American bar, in the very best way. In good weather, the deck is a perfect place to wile away a weekend afternoon. The size of the beer list is astounding, but what many don’t know is that the food on the limited menu is all very good too. Strollers and baby carriers welcome.
