This restaurant was recommended by the bartender at another that we tried on our trip to Bar Harbor and we had high expectations. The food was tasty but not great for the price. The service was, I don't know just strange. Our waitress was WAY too much. When she asked how everything was and we said alright, she proceeded to... more

If you are ever in Bar Harbor you MUST have dinner at this restaurant. The decor is simple and charming, our server could not have been more friendly and helpful (I believe Allanah was her name), and the food was absolutely delicious. Definitely the best meal we had during our early November stay in BH and, quite possibly, one of... more

Mache was in our guidebook, so we decided to give it a try. We absolutely loved it !! Very cute restaurant, the atmospere was really good, a bit on the dark side, but I like it that way, very cosy and intimate. The service was good, everything ran very smoothly. I had the portobello mushroom stuffed with chevre, served on... more

This place is very small and you definitely need reservation for it but believe me, it is worth it. The food tastes so much different than what you get anywhere else. We had the "hanger steak" and "portobello mushroom". Both entrees were full of different flavors. The amazing part was how harmonious these flavors were to each other. The sad... more

We visited Bar Harbor on October 12 and 13. Our inn keepers had given this bistro great reviews so we thought we would try it. We liked it so much we ate there both nights of our stay. It is a small place so reservations are a must. The menu was creative and innovative and the staff was super friendly... more

Mache is housed in a nicely renovated space so tiny that it can really only handle one seating a night. We didn't have reservations so we ate at the comfortable bar, where the bartender made us feel right at home and gave us excellent wine recommendations - as well as tastings. The menu emphasizes local and seasonal cuisine and, although... more

Less about the French Flavor and more about the FLAIR! This was by far the best dinner we had in our 5 night stay in Bar Harbor...and quite possibly one of the best dining experiences we have ever had in one of the most unsuspecting places. Small and quaint, make sure you get a reservation before you go... and the... more

This was probably the best meal I had all summer, not just in Bar Harbor, but anywhere. Definitely on the higher-end both in price and quality for Bar Harbor, but well worth it. Everything was cooked perfectly and was full of flavor. The unique take on a "lobster roll" as an appetizer, served in a wrap with brie cheese, was... more

After having a week of "so-so" food in Bar Harbor, my husband and I were so thrilled to have found Mache Bistro. There is a wonderful selection of organic dishes for all tastes. As someone who doesn't like seafood, eating good food in Bar Harbor was very difficult for me. I had filet mignon and it was perfectly cooked and... more
