McKay's has great food and, if the weather allows, a great outdoor seating place usually with live guitar music playing under the canopy lights. Recommend a reservation.

We love the food at Galyn's - my son swears it has the best lobster bisque he has ever had. While the interior is a little dated, great food and if lucky to sit by a window, great views.

Located near the waterfront and very broad menu. Seafood, pastas, some steaks. Kids menu. Great place to eat when in Bar Harbor. Food is very good.

Nice restaurant in old town Ellsworth. Not far from our house and really good food. Recommend a reservation as it fills up. This is where the locals eat, and you should give it a try!

Bar Harbor Ice Cream Shops

Routinely voted the best ice cream in Maine. My daughter insists CJ's is better, but most people vote for MDI Ice Cream. Innovative blends.

A perennial favorite in Bar Harbor. More than just ice cream but great for homemade candy and fudge. Again, long lines start early here. This was always our son’s favorite spot for chocolate milkshakes!

For a great Bar Harbor experience, eat outside at Stewman’s. The one to visit is in downtown Bar Harbor. No reservations, but the place is huge and lines will form but they move quickly. Sit on picnic tables near the water with pretty views. Our family always goes to Stewman’s at least once a visit.

Beal’s is famous and we just recently discovered them but have become our favorite quickly. Another classic Maine Lobster pound with great menu. They are famous for nationwide shipping! They are in the heart of Southwest Harbor and they are on the waterfront with some pretty views.

On the other side of the island, if you are out and about we ALWAYS go to Thurston’s. Quintessential Maine Lobster pound and pretty famous around these parts. Absolutely the freshest lobsters in every size. Not fancy but they have a full bar and great food! Visit them when you go to Bass Harbor or want to see the other side of the island!

Best MDI Boat Excursions

They have a variety of historic vessels and offer multiple sailing excursions from Bar Harbor. We have gone on both the Schooner Afternoon Sail cruise and Schooner Sunset Sail cruise aboard the Margaret Todd Schooner and have had a fabulous time! The views are gorgeous! They also offer the Bar Harbor to Winter Harbor Ferry where you can enjoy the quieter side of Acadia National Park. Bike riders often enjoy this area and will bring their bikes on the ferry. This is also the place where you can catch a ferry and visit Winter Harbor. Another popular ferry option is the Cranberry Cove Ferry. All trips do a loop between Southwest Harbor, Islesford (Little Cranberry Island), and Great Cranberry Island. You can explore each island at no extra charge. All details are on the website.

They have whale watching, nature, puffin and lighthouse, ranger-led, and lobster fishing and seal watching cruises. The Puffin and Lighthouse cruise is extremely popular as you get to see the most sought-after iconic symbols of Maine! These tours run a little longer, approximately 3 hours usually, but are well worth it. Reservations can be made online, and the website provides details

Very popular with guests that have kids. They are the only lobster boat tour in Bar Harbor hosted on a traditional Downeast-style lobster boat. It is a 2-hour lobster boat ride where you learn all about Maine lobsters and they catch them. We took our kids on this cruise when they were little and our son who was 9 at the time loved it!! You also enjoy get to enjoy beautiful views of the Egg Rock Lighthouse and often see seals!

Don’t deliver. This is located on a large lake (or pond as they say here), and you rent and carry the kayak across street to boat launch on middle of island “pond” or lake.
