Amore
309 Shore Rd., Ogunquit, 207-646-8661, open Fri. thru Tues. 7 AM to 1 PM
When you first see this place and the crowd of people waiting, your first instinct is to you somewheres else, but don't. It's worth the wait, although it turns out to be not that long, and it may be faster in this location, which is the new spot. We ate in the old location. They have some interesting menu items and i wish that i could have stayed in the area longer, so that i could go for another breakfast. My wife got the decadent pecan encrusted french toast stuffed with cream cheese and topped with a bananas foster cream sauce. This was more than excellent and a surprise choice for my calorie and fat gram counting spouse. I ordered the lobster benedict with herb home fries ( a different type of home fry for me, but very good ). I enjoyed the benedict very much, i don't normally order lobster, but after all this is Maine and I'm glad that i did. posted 5/28/09
We just went back to Amore's in Sept. 2009, in their new location. This is a nicer place and a lot bigger, but there's still a 20 minute wait for breakfast. But it is worth waiting, their food is excellent. Some of the dishes we got this time were the lemon bread French toast stuffed with cream cheese and blueberries. Another dish was the "Be Still My Heart", German pancakes that were greaseless, topped with bacon and sausage and finished off with melted cheddar cheese. We also got the "Oscar de la Renta" a benedict, with asparagus & crab on an English muffin topped with a dill hollandaise sauce. The service is excellent and friendly. posted 10/1/09
Bessie's
8 Shore Rd on the corner of Shore & Main, Ogunquit, 207-646-0888, open daily from 7:30 AM
This corner restaurant turned out to be a surprise for us, we had been walking around looking for someplace to get a small meal and not spend a whole lot and not having much success, when we spotted Bessie's. The restaurant is larger than it appears and has very good food. My wife got a bowl of haddock chowder, which was a very large portion and excellent quality. I got a turkey club sandwich, which was made with their homemade slow roasted turkey. This was a great club sandwich. Well worth visiting if your in the area. posted 5/28/09
We returned to this restaurant several times this year. Their a short walk from our hotel and their food is not only good, but their prices are affordable. One of items we got this year was a Cajun salmon wrap, it had great flavor and was reasonably healthy. A couple times we just stopped in for their haddock chowder, it's a filling dish that isn't so rich, that your worried about gaining weight. posted 10/1/09
Bintliffs
335 Main St., US Rt. 1, Ogunquit, 207-646-3111
Brunch 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM, Dinner 5:30 PM till closing
Located in the lovely little seaside town of Ogunquit, although the restaurant is not near the ocean or inlet, it's a bit of a walk from the restaurant. If your a walker like we are, it just works up an appetite. This is a really nice restaurant, beautifully decorated and the food is outstanding. I got the homemade corned beef hash, which i would never get back in my state, i figure this is a Northeast dish and probably be the best that it's going to be here and i was right. It was a good sized portion, more than i really wanted, but i took the leftovers back to the room and iced them down and had a great lunch later. The corned beef was slow cooked over night, blended with potatoes and onions, seasoned nicely and topped with poached eggs. My meal came with apple cinnamon toast ( great bread, i would love to have that recipe ). My wife got Eggs Florentine, an English muffin topped with poached eggs, with a Florentine cream sauce of smoked bacon, spinach, onions and herbs, finished off with Asiago cheese. The food, service and atmosphere is so good here that we decided to visit again next year. posted 5/27/09
We've been looking forward all year to going back to this restaurant. The food is excellent of course and service also, and to top it all off, the decor is really top notch. My wife got the Tenderloin Benedict, two char broiled filets, with poached eggs on an English muffin, topped with an asparagus pesto sauce. I'm afraid i ordered the same thing as last year, the corned beef hash. I don't normally order this anywhere, but i do here, they slow cook their own Angus corned beef on the premises. I don't regret getting the same dish, i left stuffed and happy . posted 10/1/09
Blue Water Inn
111 Beach St., 207-646-5559, Ogunquit, lunch and dinner daily
They are located a short walk from the Atlantic Ocean and from the dinning room you have a view of the inlet. The food is very good and the service friendly. When we ate here our appetizers were lobster bisque and the seafood chowder, both were very good. Our entrees were haddock almondine with a Vin Blanc sauce, served with brown rice, broccoli, string beans and mashed sweet potatoes and also a warm vegetable salad with blackened tuna. Both entrees were very good. It was an enjoyable place to sit and eat well prepared food while watching the herons sitting in the inlet. posted 5/28/09
Jackie's Too
91 Perkins Cove Rd., 207-646-4444, lunch and dinner 11 AM to 10:30 PM
Here you will have a magnificent view of the Atlantic Ocean while eating your meal and an outstanding meal at that. We skipped the appetizers and went straight to the entrees. I ordered the fish and chips which were excellent, but when my wife kept raving about her swordfish kabobs and i took a taste i wished that i had ordered that also. They were just perfect, charred on the outside and moist on the inside. Who ever is doing the grilling knows what their doing. This dish is so good, that were going back to this town next year, so we can get this meal again. posted 5/28/09
McSeagulls
14 Wharf St. at Pier 1, 207-633-5900, open 7 days for lunch and dinner 11:30 to closing
The menu has a large selection for you to choose from, unfortunately i was in a strange mood that night and missed out on trying some interesting menu items and went sort of healthy. I ordered the Hawaiian tuna burger, it was very good, but i regret not trying something else, you can eat healthy when you get home. I also got a cup of crab, asparagus & mushroom soup, my wife got the clam chowder for her appetizer, both soups were very good. Her entree was great, a macadamia encrusted halibut with a mango salsa & a cream sauce. Their located on the pier so you have a view of the inlet from some of the seats. posted 5/29/09
