Fresh ingredients, delicious food and cocktails. Always great service and a very relaxing atmosphere. The vegan and vegetarian options are outstanding but it’s great there’s something for everyone.

If we were able to, we would be coming here routinely. It's got a great vibe, and the food is top notch. We had a hard time limiting what we wanted to order (we're not local, so we wanted to order almost everything). We had egg rolls, the sourdough bread with this delicious olive oil, Brussels sprouts, and a salad. And a Samoan stew with this citrusy basmati rice. Everything was really, very good. If there was a cookbook I would've bought one on the way out. I didn't even mention the sorbet and blueberry with oat crumble...

This is not a vegan restaurant but it has so many vegan options that all vegans and vegetarians would be excited to out. We had the soup of the day, the sourdough bread and a garlic almond spread to start. It was all excellent, full of flavor, bread was warm with a good crust. Then we had the kale salad with caramelized onions and spicy hazelnuts with the feta cheese on the side ( because my vegetarian husband eats cheese) and the fricasee of wild mushrooms in a wonderful coconut milk sauce. And we also had the Crispy tofu skewers with peanut butter and pistachio and cilantro sauce - yummm!
We were too full to even consider dessert. But they do have vegan desserts on the menu. The restaurant is an 11 minute drive from the center of Kennebunkport where we were staying. No problem at all if you have a car. The decor is lovely, warm and upmarket, and the service was very good too. Highly recommended!

My partner and I ordered takeout from Bandaloop while visiting Maine 5 years ago. We were so blown away that we sat in for dinner again the next night. We have talked about this meal ever since; recommending it to anyone and everyone! Last night we were passing through on our way home to New York and were VERY excited to realize we would be able to pick up takeout on the way. It was even better than we remembered! Truly our favorite restaurant ever. A very special place.
Wonderful restaurant with many vegan and gluten free options

Second time we have been here and it did not disappoint! Every bite of food was fresh and flavorful! The sourdough bread and their butter, both delectable. After the mushroom ceviche we were pretty full but my partner got the Halibut special and I had the burger. He had a bite of my burger and said it was honestly one of the best he has ever had, I have to agree! Also love the variety of mocktails and the atmosphere is wonderful!

We had a lovely experience at Bandaloop for dinner. To start, we had the stuffed sour dough bread which was fantastic. For our meals, we had the pork chop, grilled chicken, salmon, and the Mac & cheese. We all enjoyed our meals as they had great flavors and were the perfect portion. Lastly, for the finale, we had the deep dish fudge brownie - which was so delicious! Can’t wait to come back here.

Unbelievable… placed a small online order for takeout on a Thursday at 5:15… received a call 5 minutes later rejecting the order because they are “too busy”. Seriously… they don’t have their act together and should take online ordering as an option down. Went to a different local place instead.
Inspired dishes, flawlessly executed.

On the evening of July 11, 2025, a small group of friends and I were excited to visit your bar, looking forward to savoring some delicious appetizers and refreshing drinks. However, our enthusiasm quickly turned to disappointment as we encountered an unfriendly hostess. Despite her earlier assurances that walk-ins were welcome, she seemed to be on a mission to turn us away.
We had made a point to arrive early, hoping to dodge the crowds, and with only about ten patrons in the establishment at the time, it felt particularly disheartening. This encounter left us with the impression that your bar/restaurant may not prioritize its customers, which is truly a letdown. We feel it's important to share our experience to ensure others are informed.

The only reason it's not 4 stars was the lack of communication on changing the table reserved and service appeared slower due to being short staffed. The meal was well worth the wait.
