A cool river breeze meets the scent of frying dough and fresh coffee as you gather in front of the red train car at The Silo Restaurant. The village streets of Lewiston move at a human pace: brick storefronts, a waterfront that dares you to look downstream toward the rapids, and shopfront windows filled with locally made treats. Over three hours you’ll walk short blocks between six tasting stops — chef-owned bistros, waterfront cafes, and mom-and-pop counters — sampling portions designed to add up to a full lunch.
