A Warm Welcome from Inn at the Agora

As the proud innkeepers of the Inn at the Agora, we are thrilled to share some exciting news that adds yet another reason for both repeat and first-time guests to visit Lewiston, Maine. The much-anticipated Brazilian steakhouse, Food Point, has just opened its doors, and it’s less than a five-minute drive from our inn. This new dining destination is not only a delightful addition to the local culinary scene but also an excellent reason to book your next stay with us.

 

 

Food Point: A Brazilian Steakhouse Experience

Located at 413 Main Street, in the heart of Lewiston, Food Point has transformed the former Yvette’s Cocina space into a vibrant, inviting venue. Owned by Rita Ferreira, a passionate restaurateur from Luanda, Angola, Food Point brings the authentic flavors of a traditional Brazilian churrascaria to Maine. Here, you can indulge in an all-you-can-eat buffet featuring an array of grilled meats, including beef, lamb, pork, chicken, and homemade Portuguese sausage. The buffet also offers a variety of salads, soups, and vegetarian options, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

 

 

A Unique Dining Experience

What sets Food Point apart is its casual, welcoming atmosphere. Unlike the more formal Brazilian steakhouses, you won’t find servers carrying skewers of meat from table to table. Instead, you’ll enjoy a relaxed buffet-style service where you can sample a variety of dishes at your own pace. The restaurant accommodates up to 60 guests across two dining rooms and includes a full bar where you can sip on specialty house cocktails like caipirinhas, made with traditional Brazilian rum (cachaça) and a choice of lime, passion fruit, strawberry, or mucua juice​.
