Bar Harbor Restaurants

One of the things that most people will really enjoy about Bar Harbor is the variety of restaurants. Seafood, especially lobster, dominates the menus. You can also find other cuisine such as Cuban, Mexican and 50's retro. We found that you can get a nice lobster lunch for a little under $20. We found the service to be friendly but, as with most of Maine, a little slow at times. For the most part, the leisurely  pace worked for us. Reservations are a good idea. Also, a number of the restaurants offer al-fresco dining. Be sure to bring a sweater since it does get chilly in the evenings.

The number of restaurants creates healthy competition which works well for the visitors. Here is a sampling of some of the many restaurants. 

The Quarterdeck Inn

The Quarterdeck is on the corner of Main and West Streets. Many of the tables offer a great view of the Harbor. The Harbor offers ever changing views of the lobster boats and sailboats coming and going as well as an occasional cruise ship.

Most of the restaurants are within easy walking distance of the accommodations in town. If you are staying right outside the town, keep in mind that parking can be difficult to find. You might want to consider a shuttle if it is available. I was getting a little nervous with one dinner when it was taking longer than the 2 hour parking limit.
