Ogunquit is known as a mecca for world class dining, with highly rated restaurants like Arrows and Provence, but did you know that many of Ogunquit's fine restuarants have a bar or tavern menu, and many of the local folk know that barside dining is the way to go. You can catch up on local gossip, have a fabulous libation shaken before your eyes, and most items are well under $15!
Our Number One destination goes to:
Owned by the highest rated Zagat restaurant north of Boston, Arrows. Located in beautiful Perkins Cove with bold ocean views, and close to Bette Davis' house, this restaurant is a must! The upstairs lounge even has entertainment. The view is the same as in the dining room, and the special bar menu offers several excellent choices. The very hearty cheeseburger with fries is only $11. Wedge salad, Caesar salad or Chopped salads are only $9.50. And there's a great fish taco with beans and rice for $12.50.
Located in the village, this snazzy restaurant has a cool lounge. The lounge features a nice bar, hightops and two banquettes. Patrons must ask for the lounge menu. One favorite is the fried haddock sandwich that is tempura battered, which is only $9.00! For that price you are at a beautiful restaurant, with a cloth napkin!
One of Ogunquit's newest restaurants, Prime, located on Shore Road On the way to the Cove is known for its mouth watering steaks. Prime also has a lively bar which features co-owner Rick Dolliver as head bartender. The Bar menu is diverse as Ogunquit with seafood, chicken as well as beef items. One favorite is the Broiled 10 ounce Beef Burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese. This man sized meal is well worth the walk down Shore Road for $10
The Grande Dame of Ogunquit, the Front Porch sits in Ogunquit Square with her cheery welcoming awnings and show tunes echoing from the building. This popular spot features a great restaurant, wonderful entertainment and a surprisingly busy bar menu that is also served late. The menu features flat breads, lite fare and interesting salads. We tried the steak tips on iceberg lettuce with cherry tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and thousand island dressing. Chef Jason Miller prepares daily seasonal specials fusing local Maine products with spices and ingredients from around the world.
Located in the Village, On Main Street, is a favorite with the local Ogunquit citizenry. The OVI features a wonderful restaurant and a busy Pub. The pub menu ( not featured on Saturdays ) features burgers, salads and soups. The chicken sandwich is the most popular served with fries and a nice slice of pickle. The Pub also has a nice selection of beers in tap, games and lots of Ogunquit ephemera. The Pub is especially busy during the cooler shoulder season months.
Tapas and Tinis, at 125 Main Street, has all kinds of small plates starting at $4 and sandwiches and flatbreads for around $10. The dinners don't quite make the list at $16. It's a pleasant atmosphere on the deck and more sophisticated inside.
