Bread & Olive
935 Congress St, Portland, ME
Crema's Take
“This Portland gem feels like stepping into a European wine bar, where creative drinks and inventive small plates are served with the warmth of a place that actually knows your name. The owners are hands-on and passionate, crafting everything from killer Espresso Martinis to sourdough grilled cheese that guests swear is the best they've ever had, all at prices that feel almost too reasonable for the quality. It's the kind of spot where you instantly feel at home, whether you're settling in for a slow afternoon or meeting friends over freshly made pastries and in-house desserts.”

If you're looking for a step into a European wine/tapas bar, look no further! Great atmosphere, reasonable prices and delicious food & drink!
B&O is a gem. Food is delicious. Drinks are creative. Prices are reasonable. Everybody knows your name. The seared tuna will blow you away. It’s like walking into a big hug.
Hidden gem! Great drinks. Great service. Fantastic small plates. Owners fully involved.
Get the Sourdough Grilled Cheese! Absolutely the Best grilled cheese we have ever had! Great drinks, Espresso Martini, and small plates of great food. Come and get some. Next to our hotel, the Inn at St. John. The staff is great and the place is nicely decorated and is the perfect size for hanging with friends. We are just visiting from Ohio and will come back for sure!!
A relaxing atmosphere with great service and delicious small plates. Freshly made food, and in-house prepared desserts.. Great price point for the quality.
