Inside Thames Landing, which opened in Portland on July 3. Courtesy of Thames Landing Thames Landing restaurant launched this month on Thames Street in Portland, offering customers a “modern New England fare experience.” Co-owners Mark and Renae Roy also own the adjacent Navis Cafe at 56 Thames St.
The Roys leased the space this spring, after Helm Oyster Bar & Bistro closed at 60 Thames St. “Our approach to food is modern New England fare with an elevated twist,” said Renae Roy. She offered examples like Fish & Chips ($24) made with gluten-free beer batter, and a Lobster Roll ($34) made with lemon aioli instead of regular mayonnaise.
The lunch menu includes a selection of sandwiches ($16-$18) and salads ($14-$20). The dinner menu lists entrees like Black Lentil & Mushroom Ragu ($26) and a N.Y.
Strip ($48), while brunch includes dishes such as Fish Cake ($14) and Hash & Eggs ($15). Thames Landing’s chef is Kristen Smedberg, a former sous chef at Isa Bistro. The restaurant can seat up to 97 people, including 32 seats outdoors.
Thames Landing is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.
m., and on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m.
to 9 p.m., including brunch service.
