Food scene

Our favorite restaurant - steps away from the cottage. Likely the best oysters you've ever tasted. I recommend booking several weeks in advance of your stay - this place is very popular.

Beautiful restaurant, with a small "Dispensa" with prepared foods, wines, and gourmet food items. Book in advance for dinner- ask for seating on the deck overlooking Rockport Harbor.

Great spot for a burger in Camden, with an expansive deck on busy Camden Harbor. Lines can be long, but the staff is friendly, and great at managing the summer crowds.

Amazing restaurant in Rockland. Most food is grown on site - show up about an hour early for your reservation, order a drink, and stroll through the gardens. On Sundays, Primo does $1 oysters in its barn, often with live music and some food. If you can't get a reservation, show up and ask to get on the list for "upstairs" - this is where the locals go. It's the same menu, but a lively and vibrant scene (I actually recommend upstairs over the dining room, but there is the unknown of availability!) Book reservations WAY in advance if possible online through the website.

Fantastic, intimate, cozy spot in Rockland with out-of-this-world food. Peruse the galleries and shops on Main Street before dinner .

Thai food in Maine? Yes. The New York Times proclaimed this the best Thai restaurant in America. Gorgeous dining room, small shop with Asian pantry items. Hugely popular among locals and tourists. Book is 100% required (they probably won't even talk to you if you show up looking for a seat - don't take it personally. This place is very popular).

Sublime sushi. Pricy, yes. But this isn't your typical take out sushi. This is an experience. Book in advance.

Technically a butcher, but MSM has fantastic breads (the baguettes sell out early in the day!), prepared foods and sandwiches, interesting pantry items, and cheeses. The butchers are very helpful, and will assist in selecting whatever you need to make a perfect dinner.

Best wine and gourmet shop in the MidCoast, and just a few blocks away from the cottage. Tell Jason, the proprietor you are staying at our cottage. He is a delight, and will find you the perfect wine for your budget and food pairing!

Maine Sport is nearby and is the perfect place to rent bikes, kayaks, or canoes. Huge selection of outdoor sporting goods and clothing. If you enjoy fly fishing (or any type of fishing) ask for Seth. He is a legendary fishing expert, and can help you with fishing location recommendations, equipment, or any other fishing-related issues. He is a delight - tell him Caroline sent you (he may even offer to take you on a guided fishing trip!)
