Ugly Duckling Maine
Ugly Duckling is the luncheonette of our dreams; we aim to be your daily stop for coffee, wine, cocktails, grab-and-go, sit-down dining, brunch, and that something savory and sweet you didn't know you needed. Come and treat yourself or your plus-ones. Want to entertain a group? We will host you, or we can just cook and you serve. A place where we can be whoever we want to be. ¡Vivan los Uglies! You define yourself. Duck pecks!
Ugly Duckling & Beyond: Built on Love and Community
We are the Lopesettis, a Venezuelan and Italian-American family with amazing kids, wonderful parents, and crazy siblings, cousins, and family—both by blood and by choice, like our friends and guests. We are blessed to have such a killer team at both places. Yes, I am bragging; they are fantastic! This combo makes for our biggest cheerleaders and most positive critics. The support and community have been overwhelming, and we can't be grateful enough. We are here thanks to all of you who believe in us and keep showing up. ¡Muchísimas Gracias!
Everyone welcome
Ugly Duckling is a safe, inclusive space for every guest and every member of our team. No exceptions, no fine print.
Made from scratch
If it can be made in-house, it is. That's the whole point of having a kitchen full of chefs.
Neighborhood first
We're proud to be part of Portland's West End — come say hi at 246 Danforth Street.
