The Best Places to Eat in Brunswick, Maine, According to Reviews

Listen, we all know Portland has an awesome food scene.

But the rest of Maine has plenty of great food too. Honestly, you can find amazing spots all across the state, and some towns can definitely compete with Portland.

One of those towns is Brunswick. A lot of people know it as a former Navy base town or home to Bowdoin College, but it’s also got some seriously good grub.

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, Maine, is One of Maine's Premier Towns

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.

However, the culinary footprint goes well beyond just one neighborhood. Now more than ever, you can find great restaurants and craft breweries around Brunswick, including on the former naval base.
