Show Notes
Luncheonette on Cumberland Avenue in Portland, Maine, is a charming daytime bistro serving inventive, vegetable-focused dishes. Chef-owners Angela Lee and Alex LeBlanc blend global flavors into seasonal salads and hot plates, using local produce. Standouts include creamy celery root remoulade, a vegan cabbage Caesar, and roasted sweet potato with harissa. The menu mixes familiar comfort with creative twists, like bibimbap over multi-grain rice and panko-fried tofu katsu sando. Desserts like a tender cinnamon roll keep things indulgent. LeBlanc grew up nearby and Lee switched from digital advertising to culinary training. They opened last summer in a cozy century-old building, offering warm counter service and a simple drink list. Last November, Eater named it one of the best new restaurants in the country.
