Novare Res Bier Cafe is in Old Port
Belgian influence in Portland shows up less as a formal cuisine than in two enduring obsessions: fries and beer. Duckfat on Middle Street, in the India Street district, fries its hand-cut Belgian-style frites in duck fat and serves them in paper cones, the dish that made it a city landmark. Novare Res Bier Cafe, tucked off Canal Plaza in the Old Port, carries the other half of the tradition with a deep cellar of Belgian and Belgian-inspired ales.
