Brunswick, Maine, Is a Foodie Town: Here Are Its Most Popular Restaurants

We all know about the incredible food reputation that Portland brings to the table.

But what about the rest of the state? It certainly isn't chopped liver. In fact, pretty much anywhere in Maine you can find delicious food, with many regions challenging Portland for the top spot.

One of those regions is a town that may be best known as a former base town or perhaps a college town. That town is Brunswick.

Brunswick is an Absolute Gem in Midcoast Maine

Just 30 minutes up the road from Portland is Midcoast Maine. This region is universally loved by both Mainers and tourists alike. It's difficult to say that about any place, let alone an entire region, but it's true.

Maine's Midcoast attracts hordes of people who enjoy the sights, museums, historic homes, and local fare.

This includes Brunswick, a town that has been transitioning for what seems like an eternity. And I don't mean that in a negative way. The town was bolstered by a naval air station for decades.

However, after its closure, Brunswick has done a wonderful job of keeping the momentum moving forward.

Brunswick is also a true college town. Bowdoin College can be found right in the heart of downtown. The campus blends right in, making the downtown district feel like part of the school. It's a perfect example of what a New England college town should be. And, of course, that means the food scene should not disappoint, and Brunswick's does not.

Outside of Portland, Brunswick probably has the most diverse culinary map in Maine. A number of cuisines and styles can be found in the town, making it quite attractive for both locals and those from away.

Many of these spots are within walking distance of Bowdoin and numerous neighborhoods. This includes Maine Street, Brunswick's primary village district. The street is loaded with iconic shops and trendy eateries, a blend that any town would be proud of.
