Dining

With more than 100 restaurants to choose from on Mount Desert Island, everyone can find a flavor—or two or three (maybe more)—to savor.

You're in Maine, so you'll find lobster galore, along with other fresh catches from the sea: scallops, shrimp, crab, haddock, flounder, clams. And you'll find them prepared all kinds of ways, from simple to exotic. You can even get lobster ice cream here.

But that's not all. Island restaurants know no boundaries, no limits. Diners can feast on tastes from around the world—Mexican, Asian, Italian, Cuban—and on great American dishes. Whether you love a juicy steak or stick to a vegetarian menu—you'll find exactly what you crave.

And every café, pub, and eatery exudes its own special character. While one takes pride in serving locally grown, organic foods, another features mouth-watering original recipes, and many offer spectacular views of Frenchman Bay. There's something new—and delicious—everywhere you go!
