When you’re looking for a secluded and special place to dine, sometimes perception is more important than reality. These days, it can be hard to find a place that’s truly in the middle of nowhere. It seems that even the hole-in-the-wall spots become more popular over time and eventually your favorite local spot is known to all. While that’s great for business, it can be hard to get used to. Today, we bring you a lovely spot for a meal in Southern Maine. It might not be completely secluded, but it certainly does feel that way when you’re gazing out the windows over the sea!
MC Perkins Cove, located in Ogunquit, is a beautiful restaurant but still casual and comfortable.
Head chefs, Mark Gaier and Clark Frasier, were named "Best Chefs in the Northeast" by the James Beard Foundation and one trip to MC Perkins Cove will reveal the reason.
In addition to their James Beard Foundation title, they have also been featured in Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Time, Travel + Leisure, and Vanity Fair. And, they've made appearances on the CBS Early Show and NBC’s TODAY show. You may even remember them from their time on Top Chef Masters, Season 4 in 2012.
And, we're not surprised. Mainers love fried seafood and it certainly has a place in the dining experience. But, here the food is fresh and delicious and comes in all ways. If seafood isn't your thing, you'll be fine! There's plenty on the menu to keep you satisfied on land.
In fact, "Beer and Burger Night" is an actual thing here!
