Portland, Maine Restaurants Reopened For Outdoor Dining

There is nothing like Maine in the summer. And Portland has been able to take full advantage with outdoor dining starting June 1st and indoor seating beginning just a little over two weeks later on June 17th.

Maine has provided clear, state-mandated restrictions for restaurants with guidelines for guests including wearing a mask at all times where social distancing is difficult (like waiting in line for pickup, entering or exiting, walking to the restrooms), providing physical barriers to protect waitstaff, and allowing no more than 50 people per room, including outdoor seating areas.

Now that we got all those logistics out of the way, here’s a running list of Portland restaurants where you can sit outside. A lot of these spots have also chosen to open for outdoor dining only. For these places, which we’ve listed out below, make sure to bring along a few extra layers in case it randomly rains for twenty minutes and you won’t have the option to move inside. Remember, there’s no bad weather, just bad gear.
