Of all the places to be when you’re hungry, Maine might be one of the best. While some people might think we’re just a cold state tucked up in the northeast, those who live here or visit often know that the best food in the country is right here! But that doesn’t mean it’s all seafood around here! We actually have tons of options and we think some of the best are the unexpected ones. This unassuming little spot in Portland is a favorite around here!

Bogusha's Polish Restaurant & Deli in Portland offers something a bit different than the other dining options available in Maine's most notable food town.

There's a lot on the menu, but the pierogies are known to be the best in the state. Many people consider these beauties to be the best in New England!

And you can't find any that are fresher! They're made from scratch every Wednesday and options include cheese and potato, sauerkraut & mushrooms, spinach and feta, potato, cabbage, chicken and pork. We love the idea of ordering them for the holidays.
