Andrew Taylor and Mike Wiley are the chef-owner duo behind Portland’s Eventide Oyster Co., Hugo’s and the brand new, noodle-focused The Honey Paw. A modern take on the classic American oyster bar, I love Eventide for their amazing raw selection, inventive Asian-influenced lobster rolls served in steamed buns and the killer monkfish bouillabaisse. And I’m not the only one—the seafood-centric hot spot is constantly packed, has made it onto everyone’s “best of” list for Maine (as well as Eater’s 38 essential restaurants in America) and earned the chefs a nomination from the James Beard Foundation this year for Best Chef: Northeast. Below, Taylor and Wiley share their top picks for Portland, from the best coffee and cocktails to the after-hours Thai meal they’re always craving.
