There’s a moment every single time we go out to eat when we consider just ordering dessert first. It might a brief moment. We know the type of looks that people get when we go against the regular dinner trends, but that doesn’t mean we don’t think about it. At the very least, we’re taking a look at the dessert menu and planning in advance. And that’s why we love the idea of this restaurant offering an entire main course menu focused on dessert!

Located in the heart of the Old Port, Gross Confection Bar in Portland is the perfect place to visit when you've got a craving for something sweet.

And by "tons of reasons," we mostly mean the incredibly prepared desserts!

Everything is made right here on the premises which means it's as fresh as can be. And a menu that changes means that things are always being evaluated and re-imagined.
