While Kennebunkport and its surrounding communities are known for incredible dining, great lunchtime eateries seem a little harder to come by, particularly in the winter. The Maine Stay can help you figure out how to get the best soup, salad, and sandwiches to get you through to dinner at our many fine dining establishments. Since some of our summertime faves are closed up tight, here are some great wintertime options:
- Henry VIII Carvery (known for their hand-carved meats, fresh salads, and homemade soups)
- Alisson’s Restaurant (a Dock Square staple since 1973 – great for simple American cuisine and Maine staples like lobstah rolls and chowdah)
- Federal Jack’s Brew Pub (a great brewpub with home brewed beer on tap and excellent daily specials)
- The Ramp at Pier 77 (a fantastic local spot with views of the Atlantic that makes top notch hand cut fries and a potato-y clam chowder)
- Lucas On Nine (family run American food restaurant with great personality)
- Jackie’s Too (waterfront dining on the Marginal Way in Ogunquit)
- Squaretoes Restaurant (hip diner-esque eatery in Kennebunk)
- Mekhong Thai (great Thai for those needing something a little different)
- Atlantic Pizza (awesome pizza and a great Greek food menu)
Clearly the Kennebunkport area is alive and kickin’ (well, certainly, eatin’) during the winter months. Guests of the Maine Stay will certainly not be left hungry at lunch time! Not that they’ll need much after our hearty gourmet breakfasts! But now midday options are easier than ever to find. Bon Appetite!
