What good to eat in Portsmouth, NH these days.
The Blue Strawberry is gone, and so is Lindbergh's, BUT in the same location as those two is a superb place called the Black Trumpet. Very unique and innovative flavors. Chef is the owner and it shows in the food !
MAine Lobster Pounds
You can't beat Chauncey Creek Lobster Pound in Kittery Point. You bring all your salads, booze, french bread---they cook the lobsters & clams. Right on the quaintest creek in Maine. They have open area and a roofed area, and even an outdoor sink to clean up in. Very fresh and tasty, and never horribly overcrowded since it only holds so many. 10 mins from Portsmouth, which is a great scenic drive.
Dining in Portsmouth
For breakfast try Colby's on Daniel St across from the Post Office, all homemade and tasty. For lunch try Chaing Mai on Penhallow St for great Thai lunch specials, or Ceres Bakery on Penhallow St has homemade everything---soups, pizza, quiche, sandwiches and daily specials. All the locals eat there for lunch---quick and good price, plus umpteen desserts, afterall it is a bakery !
Dining in Portsmouth
Massimo's is the best restaurant in the city of Portsmouth. Elegant with real professional waiters, but not the least bit stuffy. Great attentive service, but they know when to leave you alone. You feel like you should dress up, but they never say anything if you are just in nice sweaters ( meaning not a coat & tie or a dress). Fabulous, superb food. Pricey,but worth every penny.
