Blue Spoon, Portland
A neighborhood restaurant on Munjoy Hill might be the city?s most buzzed-about.
By Andy King
Standing on the crest of Munjoy Hill, in Portland's East End, you can see clear down Congress Street to Casco Bay. The water shimmers on the brightest of sunny days, just over a crest of green that makes up the park surrounding the Eastern Promenade. By any city's comparison, this is quaint. This particular section of Congress - typically one of the busiest thoroughfares in the state's most populous municipality - gets more placid as you walk down it, toward the water, toward the blue.When choosing where to place a potential restaurant, most owners shy away from the quaint.
