Restaurants

I posted this in the Southwest Harbor forum before realizing I should post it here. I am traveling to Bar Harbor in June with husband and 4 adult children. We are staying near Southwest Harbor.

Can anyone recommend restaurants? We love all types of foods. I would appreciate any recommendations for good, fun places. Since we will be 6, I was hoping for some moderate priced places; maybe one or two special places. Anything only locals know about?

Thanks for your help,

Poppyny

One of our visitors--Vatripster--last summer put together a substantial list of restaurants that they tried:

If you search on Vatripster in this forum, you will see what others said as well.

There aren%26#39;t any places that ';only locals'; know about. Our two favorites for dinner are Town Hill Bistro in Town Hill and Red Sky in Southwest Harbor. We also are partial to Geddy%26#39;s in Bar Harbor for burgers (they also do very good pizzas).

Ls Bella Vita has great salads and a killer Sicilian pizza---part of a diverse menu.

See also the lists that people have contributed under Restaurants (left side of this page).

Paflyfisher, who well may answer you shortly, likes Jeannie%26#39;s for breakfast and among other places, Cafe This Way for dinner.

Poor Boy%26#39;s Gourmet has a diverse seafood menu, including lobster done several different ways, and great cheesecake.

That should be ';La Bella Vita';

cwvoight is right on with his suggestions... we love the Town Hill Bistro and Cafe This Way...there is another good Italian place in Southwest Harbor called La Bella Vista (not to confuse you with the one here in Bar Harbor) and we also have a decent Thai food restaurant in Bar Harbor. Lots of good choices, so little time! Enjoy!

Thanks for your recommendations. I will check out all your referrals.

For fun in Bar Harbor...Geddy%26#39;s. The food is good (especially the pizza) and the atmosphere light and casual. In Southwest Harbor we like Eat-A-Pita for lunch. Great selection of Pitas and dressings. Turns into Cafe 2 at nite. We%26#39;ve had amazing dinners and deserts there. Plus if it%26#39;s warm they have outside seating and an outside bar. It%26#39;s right in Southwest Harbor on the main road.

Hey, innstitches. Isn%26#39;t the SWH restaurant called Bella Mare? In any case, I see it%26#39;s on the market. Of course, that doesn%26#39;t mean that it won%26#39;t be open this summer.
