Restaurants near Mount Desert

“First place open in Northeast Harbor where you can get a nice latte with almond milk. Welcoming owner and super friendly lab to greet you at the door.”

“I was hired to shoot a wedding at The Asticou this fall and it was such an amazing experience! I didn't want to leave at the end of the night. I'm not exaggerating when I say that If I get booked there again I will try to get a room of my own and make a weekend out of it! I've shot at many venues in the Bar Harbor/Acadia area and this is probably my favorite. The venue is gorgeous, the grounds are scenic, and the staff is wonderful. I was particularly smitten with the design of the reception hall. Beautiful paintings everywhere. I was able to get some amazing portraits of the bride and groom in the botanical garden across the street. You simply can't go wrong with The Asticou for a wedding, event, or for your vacation lodgings.”

“Beautiful scenery wonderful weather excellent food. The pop over pot pie was delicious as well as our drinks, the blueberry Mojito, and others were really good. Our server, Lucky, was excellent and adorable. We enjoyed it immensely and look forward to coming back someday.”

“🦞 The BEST Lobster I had while in Maine, The Travelin’ Lobster in Bar Harbor. All the locals were here, so I knew I wanted to eat here. It was melt in your mouth delicious!!”

“All of the dishes I've had here have been wonderful, tasty and beautifully presented. Great addition to SWH, so glad because I live about 20 minutes from SWH so it's convenient.”

“I was a food service delivery driver back in the day. They always treated me great and i wasn't even a customer. I always regret not getting back there to eat 🤷🏻”

“10/10 - service, food and beverages - amazing! Stopped in during a visit to bar harbor this past weekend and were well taken care of by the staff who provided great food and beverage recommendations, also attentive with the service! Be sure to try the blue corn chips and if you like spice - try the hot salsa!”

“perfect steamers today. will be back tomorrow for lobsters!”

“Thanks Mike and Andre (and the other unnamed employees) We were in Bar Harbor for 3 nights: we ate dinner here twice and one lunch. We tried the whole fried clams: fantastic! Lobster, fried haddock, lobster, lobster stew and local beers. Super value and super fresh. All the employees were smiling and helpful. I highly recommend this place!!!!”

“You must eat here! The atmosphere is lovely and laid back. The drinks (and mocktails) are wonderful. The food... the food is fantastic! You can't go wrong with the apps, but the Dilly Pickled Veg is the perfect little zippy snack while you wait for your dinner. The entire dinner menu is truly inspired. The bang bang fried chicken is always a personal go to... but I opted for the Crab BLT tonight and was blown away! My hubby had the Lamb Shwarma and practically licked his plate... the pita alone was a light, fluffy delight. If you order the fries, which you most certainly should, get the garlic aioli... you'll thank me later, it's also good with the lamb. ;)”

“Highly recommended! This place is great!”

“Excellent place to eat!!!!!!!! Service is amazing, staff is top notch and food is delicious!!!!!!!!”

“Delightful! Don’t miss when visiting Southwest Harbor. The food was amazing and the staff were friendly and engaging. Cool funky vibe in this cozy, artistic space (check out the wood cuts by AC Kulik). If available try the ginger apple bourbon its Fall in a glass. Seating is limited so get there early.”

“Delicious, fun atmosphere, would eat here again.”

“It's not just a restaurant, it's a genuine Bar Harbor historical landmark.”

“A fantastic meal! The owner sat down with us to help us figure out how to best open the lobster because we hadn’t done it many times. He and the staff were extremely friendly. Very reasonably priced and the food was incredible! Highly recommended! Thank you!”

“This place is doing absolutely beautiful things for this community. We had heard about it on one of the MDI pages. My husband and I wanted to check out the popovers but what we walked away with was so much more. We were welcomed in by the volunteers, given directions on how it all worked, and were able to have some incredible popovers while listening to music. We returned our last morning on island with our entire family, including our two dogs and enjoyed popovers as we sung along to songs from the Common Good Band. It was my 7 months olds first time on the island and I am so glad she got to experience all of that. Incredible Popovers, Awesome atmosphere and great cause. We can’t wait to come back on our next visit.”

“This was a great place to find. By far one of the best blueberry muffins I ever had.”

“Sandwiches are fresh and ingredients are top quality. Baked goods are fantastic. I bought a strawberry rhubarb pie today and it was perfect, that crust was amazing. This shop is my quilty treat after cleaning cottages on the island. Thank you for being there.”

“Best haddock sandwich in Bar Harbor! All the food is so fresh. Love the patio seating area. It’s been great having them open all year round. 10/10 recommend”

“Chose Everyday Joe’s for breakfast because it’s a little off the strip and we could get in right away. The service and food is excellent! The atmosphere feels like a converted food market (which it is) and hence the name. But if you don’t care about ambiance you should try it. Our omelets were perfect and not too greasy which happens at a lot of breakfast places. The potatoes were amazing too. I recommend Everyday Joe’s for a great meal and a good value.”

“We’ve been coming to this location for the past several years to celebrate our wedding anniversary and every single time we are in awe of how magical it is💕 Between the amazing staff who put thought that it’s our wedding anniversary, the romantic atmosphere, and the view, so beautiful. Thank you for always making it special❤️ Also Bob is a wonderful pianist and Sabrina is a fantastic waitress, we always enjoy seeing her.”

“Great pizza, movies and atmosphere … oh yeah and they serve beer both with and without alcohol”
