Whether you're in the mood for lobster, seafood, pasta, homemade desserts, breakfast, or any other favorites, there's sure to be a home cooked meal here that you'll savor and enjoy. Or if you just want a few cocktails to enjoy over long talks of your vacation, the town has quaint pubs and breweries. The dining experience here in Bar Harbor is unique…one you'll be sure to tell all of your friends about back home.
With so much to see and do, Bar Harbor is guaranteed to give you quite the appetite! Luckily, a range of restaurants to fit every taste and pocketbook dot the town. Of course, Bar Harbor seafood is at the top of the menu in many establishments, with the omnipotent lobster at the head of the tide. With the fishing fleet often landing your entree at the dock that day, you would be hard pressed to find fresher seafood anywhere than on the Maine coast. New England and Maine seafood restaurants are justifiably renowned. The Bar Harbor Maine restaurants also offer world cuisine, family eating, fine Maine dining, casual elegance, and health conscious fare, among many other options. There are also places to grab a bite on the run, the makings of a picnic, or eat alfresco under Maine's warm sun. As the famous Down East restaurant sign reads; "Come on in and eat or we'll both starve!"
