Eater names Portland eatery as one of the best new restaurants in America
"Eater spotlighted Luncheonette for its "eclectic choices" and focus on exceptional, flavor-forward dishes. The publication highlighted standouts such as baba ganoush with roasted eggplants, coriander, fennel, tahini, Champagne vinegar, lemon, and olive oil; a roasted koginut squash pavê with Parmesan bechamel and Fresno pepper; and sandwiches that use sourdough Pullman-style bread layered with miso-marinated pork, Thai basil relish, Kewpie mayo, and mozzarella."
"Maine diners, Eater noted, have been especially drawn to dishes like vegetables dressed in gochujang and sesame, bibimbap fortified with za'atar tofu, and celery root remoulade - nods to Lee's Korean American heritage, according to Eater. "Thank you @eater for the incredibly unexpected and wonderful news ... We can't believe little old Luncheonette could resonate like this," the restaurant wrote in its Instagram post. Luncheonette serves breakfast, lunch, pastries, coffee, beer, and wine. They're open Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 11 a.m.-6 p.m.; and Sunday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m."
