Best Restaurants in Portland, Maine | Eater Boston

"Steffi and Brian Davin’s cozy spot on Cumberland Avenue flies consistently under the radar regardless of its generous plates of homestyle German favorites including zwiebelkuchen — a rich onion and gruyere tart — smoked trout salad, and Rheinischer sauerbraten, whose saucy marinated beef and tangy red cabbage soak into ample bread dumplings. Fresh rye bread comes out with a paprika-heavy quark spread upon your arrival, the perfect bite to start pairing with whatever beer, wine, or cider you bring since the restaurant is BYOB sans corkage fee — ask the experts at natural wine darling Maine & Loire on Washington Avenue for recommendations." - Stasia Brewczynski
