So many great food options in Portland! Two of our favorites are Duckfat (Belgian frites fried in, yes, duck fat), fabulous panini, and, if you like brewery tours, Allagash brewery. Wassamiki Springs for families or Wild Duck for adults are 2 recommended campgrounds in the Portland area.
In Bangor we like Giacomo's for lunch. Pick up some Smith's Log Smokehouse soppressata or other salami at Bangor Wine and Cheese just around the corner (Seal Cove chevre and Kennebec Creamery's marinated goat cheese are also good things to pick up there). Add some olives and bread and you can build your own ploughman's lunch.
Massimo's just reopened the old Massimo's Breads as Massimo's Pizza Bar, more Italian-style than the usual pizza place but we aren't back in Maine yet to try it. They're just a few doors down from Bangor Wine and Cheese. Used to have fabulous panini when it was Massimo's breads and the little 2-bite cannoli were wonderful.
A fun, local eatery in Pittsfield, Maine is Vittles. House-cut waffle fries, really great house-made ice cream. They are open for lunch only except Friday and Saturday nights.

Favorite restaurant in Maine - Primo in Rockland. Close to Owl's Head Transportation Museum. We go to Primo every year for our wedding anniversary (it's nose-to-tail, raised on site if possible, incredible food).
