I love visiting Duckfat year after year, summer after summer. While the place has changed in terms of an expanded menu and a busier lunch time crowd, I am happy to say that in the five or so years that I have been stopping in here, the consistency has remained the same - hot crispy belgian style fries with a variety of sauces, and warmly pressed, creative sandwich offerings.
The food (and drink) speaks for itself.

Duckfat is a personal favorite of mine, and a place I think everyone visiting the Portland area should check out!



I have read countless reviews for this place over the years and have yet to visit. I've seen the fries more times than i can count but NEVER that incredible looking sandwich. yum!
ReplyDeleteI just went last month for the first time and loved it! Can't wait to get back there.
ReplyDeleteDuckfat is a MUST when I go to Portland. Their fries are a gift from God.
ReplyDeletewe didn't have a chance to make it there a couple weeks ago! but we did go to the green elephant! ever been? IT'S A MUST!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh that panini looks so incredible! Wish we had a Duckfat here in the midwest. ha
ReplyDeleteThat panini DOES look incredible! I went for the first time earlier this summer and luckily went with a group of good eaters. Everything was great, but especially the charchuterie and chilled borscht. Can't wait to get back there!
ReplyDeleteI love Duckfat!! I've only been once so there's still more I need to try but the milkshakes and truffle ketchup are awesome.
ReplyDeleteI think of this place every time we plan a trip to Maine yet we always seem to rush past Portland. I'm making it a must visit place next time. For sure! :)
