Utopia - Bangor

We ate here on our recent road trip in New England. We ordered their moussaka and spanakopita. The food was delicious and the service was adequate. The vegetarian options on the menu were good. The only thing we were not happy about was that we asked them if they had any complimentary bread and dipping oil when we got there because we were famished and they said they could bring us some pita bread and olive oil. So we were happy but then when we got our bill we were surprised they actually charge us for it something that should have been a freebie. Not good form. Note to the restaurant: the more freely you give, the more business you get!

The space is beautiful, the server was knowledgeable and good, asking the questions to ensure things were correct. The presentation was beautiful. Vegan spanakopita was the thing I was advised to get…

It has many vegan options and they are all very good. they even have vegan poutins.

Many of the items on the menu are marked as vegan or can be made vegan. Mezze platter, polenta fries, and the cauliflower steak (made vegan) were highlights and would absolutely order again. They also offer vegan desserts.

I was not impressed enough to want to go back. Nothing was bad about our food it just did not meet my standards as far as options and taste. I felt it was a little lacking in some areas. We got the Moroccan stew which had huge chunks of canned tomatoes and lacked seasoning. The Brussels sprouts. Those were good and different. I got the cauliflower and my husband got the falafel platter. Although the portion was small on mine it tasted good. My husband did not like his falafel. They were very dry, hard and cold. They had a Greek potato skin special that we both liked. They also have vegan Baklava. I did not like the baklava. It had to much sweetener and the balance was off for me.
