Wonderful evening at Bistro LeLuco. We spent our 6 year anniversary here and had attentive service, thoughtful dishes, and unbelievable tastes. Perfect portions.
We enjoyed some raw oysters, Saganaki (pan fried cheese w figs), Keftedes (lamb meatballs), Ksifias (grilled swordfish), and the lamb chops. We finished the meal with the affogato and the olive oil cake. Highly recommend the Paper Tiger for a non-alcoholic beverage.
Thank you to Mackenzie and the wonderful staff at Bistro LeLuco!

Ben the bartender is awesome and the baguette and salad for happy hour along with the lovely wine list and stellar pisco sour was great. Ambience is awesome, elevated but not pretentious. Saw lots of locals pop in for oyster happy hour too!

Best swordfish you will EVER have!! Autumn toast was amazing! And the mussels with a creamy chorizo sauce were incredible. I cant wait to go back!

We were so excited about this restaurant on our second visit back to Portland. Unfortunately, the food fell short of expectations. Every dish we had, while presented beautifully, missed each time in taste, texture and/or level of doneness. We were surprised that the halibut was overcooked in a seaside town like Portland. While the food was a miss for us, the cocktails were excellent – I really loved the Turkish Coffee Martini.
With that said, the host and servers were super nice! And the dining room felt cozy, right level of noise, and while simplistic, perfectly decorated.
Altogether, I’d give this experience a 3.5/5.

My wife and I made a reservation to get brunch before going to a matinee showing at Portland Players (INCREDIBLE if you haven’t seen any of their shows!)
The atmosphere was cute, very clean, minimal coastal vibe which worked really well and the minimal decor and use of mirrors made a small space feel cozy. Servers were very kind and cocktails were delicious and came out pretty quickly.
Our reservation was for 12:30 and we ordered promptly (we’d been drooling over the menu for days so knew exactly what we wanted!) We waited for over an hour with minimal communication from the staff to get our meals, and weren’t able to get anything from the dessert menu due to timing – our plates hit the table at 1:45 – there were 6 other tables in the restaurant (2-4 tops), two of which had already received their food so not sure why the kitchen was so severely backed up. I ordered the benedict and my wife ordered the hash – flavors were there but they were both severely overcooked and quite dry as a result. I had a poached egg and my wife ordered over easy and both were cooked hard. The side salad of arugula that came with my benedict was undressed. Total bill came to around $90 for 2 drinks and 2 meals, which isn’t incredibly expensive, but not cheap either given the quality. It’s a bummer because we’d been really looking forward to trying this place, but I can’t say I’d bother going back.

Bistro Leluco has been a favorite of ours since it opened, but it seems to have only gotten better. Ben at the bar is a passionate mixologist, and Antonio the owner is commit to creating a top notch dining experience this side of the bridge. We went with the small plates (scallops, lamb meatballs, fried cheese, swordfish) paired with a martini. Everything was fantastic.

I recently visited the Portland Maine area from North Carolina and discovered a gem of a restaurant in South Portland called Bistro Leluco. The restaurant was walking distance from where I was staying so with the excellent food I discovered there and the great service and warm neighborhood feel I ended up eating here for 5-6 meals. The warmth started with their bartender and part-time server Benjamin who is not only a great designer of unique cocktails but also a great recommender of which items to try from the menu. During my time there I ate the Crab Roll, Lobster Roll, Grilled Swordfish, Duck Breast, Za’atar Panzanella Salad, Amazing Maine mussels, Bacon wrapped Scallops, Horiatiki Tomato salad, Kolouthi Grilled Zucchini, Roasted Beets, Cannellini Beans, and some kind of chocolate desert with homemade ice cream. Literally all of these dishes were delicious and had great presentation. They were cooked to perfection and I would have them again in a heartbeat (and I did several times). Benjamin knew each dish in detail and gave great descriptions. The owner(Antonio) and his wife/partner were there almost every day and actively involved in running the restaurant. Antonio described how he really wanted his restaurant to appeal to the neighborhood nearby so he would have regulars attending throughout the year which he appeared to accomplish as I saw several people multiple times there. The place was simply decorated and I sat at the bar almost every meal. The bathroom was super clean. They had a Happy Hour during the week with $1 oysters amongst other deals like 5$ off certain dishes. Just a home run of a place that I look forward to visiting again next year.

Delicious little local spot in a residential area of South Portland! The food and drinks were delicious, though quite pricey. You only get 3 shrimp and 3 scallops in each small plate, but they are super good. The atmosphere was cute, clean, though a bit basic. Great for a date night, if you’re looking to splurge.

My wife and I stopped in for brunch today, and we were thoroughly impressed. I ordered the Another Kind of Benedict while my wife went with the Classic Benedict—both dishes were absolutely outstanding.
The service was equally exceptional. The staff were warm, attentive, and made the entire experience feel special. If I could give this place six stars, I would without hesitation.
A truly classy spot that’s well worth the trip from anywhere. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
