What’s for lunch on Mount Desert Island?

Lunch time is a great time to sit, laugh and catch up with friends!

Lunch time is more than a meal. It’s also a great time to sit, laugh and catch up with friends! Lunch is the meal you’re most likely to enjoy here in town, if you arrived here on a cruise ship. Because of this, we want to be sure that you know all the options available to you.

To help you make the most of your time ashore before you have to get back aboard, we have listed the lunch restaurants of Mount Desert Island in the order of their distance from the Bar Harbor Pier. As a result, you will be able to find another restaurant quickly in case the one you chose seems too busy to serve you.

Breakfast ~ Lunch ~ Dinner

Likewise, as with all the restaurant pages on our website, we include every restaurant open for lunch that we know about. We try to remain upbeat and honest about what each restaurant has to offer. In addition, we strive to be the unbiased, helpful website which objectively shares with you what’s available.
