Portland, Maine - Foodie Town part 1

    Standard Baking Co
    A delicious spot for a good cup of coffee and mouth watering pastries. We wanted to try
    everything, but settled with Pain Au Chocolate, Ham and Cheese Croissant, a bag of Ginger Spice
    Cookies and two hot cups of coffee. It was a perfect way to start a cold morning in Old Port, 
    Portland.


    The Lobster journey begins at Street & Co.

    Roasted Endive, fennel salad with grapefruit and gorgonzola cheese
    The highlight of the night - Lobster Diavolo for two
    The aftermath

    Street & Co
    Our lobster journey began at Street & Co., one of Fore Street's sister restaurant in Old Port,
    Portland. We started with Butternut Squash soup (with toasted hazelnut) and Roasted Endive and
    Fennel salad. We ordered Lobster Diavolo as our main dish. This came with 1.5lb lobster and other
    seafood on top of linguini with spicy sauce. The quality of seafood was amazing and the overall
    taste of the dish was superb, but it wasn't spicy at all. I normally love spicy food, but everything
    else on this dish was so good that I didn't really care for the non-spicy side of it. Definitely a great
    way to start our lobster journey in Portland!
