Fresh. Local. Delicious.
Of course, with the ocean being the major backdrop to Mount Desert Island, seafood is always recommended. If you are looking for lobster, the island is the place to be. Grab a bib at most any seaside restaurant and enjoy local seafood and lobster from area fisherpeople.
Seafood is certainly not the only dining choice on the island. From relaxed meals on a budget to elegant fine dining, Mexican to Cuban to Thai, you’ll want to enjoy the Mount Desert Island dining experience to its fullest. There is something fresh and tasty everywhere you turn.
