One of the last things I thought I'd be driving to Portland, ME for was vegetarian food. Although Portland offers an abundance of neat little shops, an eclectic population, and the perfect idea for a day/weekend trip, it also has a hidden gem of a restaurant- Green Elephant.

We were a bit hungover from boozing on the outskirts of Portland (and haphazardly taking advantage of the generous amenities of a nearby HoJo) but were determined to drop in for lunch. The food here is consistently good, the service is friendly and unpretentious, and the menu has a little bit of everything. One of my favorite dishes is the Tofu & Vegetable Teriyaki (pictured below). The tofu is amazing, the vegetables are super fresh, and the squash...I HATE squash, but fell in love with their recipe.

If you're ever in the Portland, ME area try to pay them a visit. You won't be disappointed!
