Portland Dining Month 2017

February 28, 2017 by 8 Comments

I’ve written about Portland Dining month for many years. It is that one of time year where you have a month – a whole month!! some cities only get a week!! – to go out to help support local businesses AND to try lots of restaurants at a discount from what is often on their regular menu or with special limited time dishes. That’s because the Portland Dining Month menu at every participating offers a Prix Fixe $29 for 3 courses – and in some cases some restaurants throw in a little extra. Portland Dining Month 2017 falls March 1 – 31st, so it starts tomorrow.

Accanto: second course of a chilled potato leek soup Accanto: potato gnocchi, lamb bolognese, mint and pecorino Accanto: Rose panna cotta with strawberries and lambrusco
