Central Provisions

Small plates restaurant · Portland

"Featuring a rustic brick interior and dominated by an elegant bar on each level, two-story Central Provisions is one of Maine’s best. Memorable small plates range from spicy raw beef salad topped with cilantro and peanuts to smoked carrots with whipped goat cheese and coconut fried smelts, while the cocktails lean classic with a twist. Check out sibling restaurant Tipo for a more casual, Italian-leaning concept off the peninsula." - Stasia Brewczynski
