3 Best Restaurants in Brooklin, Sedgwick, and Brooksville, Blue Hill Peninsula and Deer Isle

This tidy little joint next to the reversing falls on the Bagaduce River is the perfect place for a lunch of clam, shrimp, haddock, or scallop baskets that come with onion rings or chips; there are also hot dogs, burgers, and chicken fingers. Picnic tables dot this nub of land surrounded on three sides by water, and you can walk onto the pier (or moor your kayak or boat there) for tidal estuary views and glimpses of seals, bald eagles, and ospreys. At low tide kids can explore the shore.

Follow the granite walkway to reach this fine-dining gem tucked behind Buck's Harbor Market, which is a good place to stock up on pantry staples and Maine-produced food products. The seasonal menu centers on seafood (don't miss the halibut Wellington), but lamb and beef options (like beef short rib with rainbow carrots) are regularly on offer.

This full-service restaurant replicates the famous food truck (a trailer, really) by the same name that is parked on Isle au Haut. The menu consists of yummy rolls, sandwiches, and baskets, most of them featuring seafood from local waters.
