Experience Beautiful Views Of Acadia National Park When You Dine At Jordan Pond House

Acadia National Park is a must-visit when in Maine. Even if you call the state home, heading to the region's only national park is a great way to spend the day. Although between the trails, the scenery and the special attractions, there's enough to keep you busy for multiple days. Whether you love hiking the outdoors or prefer to simply see the sights, make sure to save room for a visit to the park's most famous restaurant!

Sitting by the shores of Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park since 1893, Jordan Pond House Restaurant is one of the most visited places in the park.

There might not be a more scenic spot that doesn't require a hike.

The only physical exertion you'll have here is eating some of the best food in the region or taking the path along the property for a better view of the Bubbles and the water.

The setting here is grand and the restaurant itself is large and airy. But it wasn't always like this.

The restaurant got its start when the first owner, Nellie McIntire, baked and served her perfect popovers for those who needed a snack.

Today, the tradition of popovers and tea hold strong!

Luckily for those with bigger appetites, the menu has expanded to include hearty sandwiches and salads.

Of course, you can't miss the lobster rolls either.

Spending time outside on the lawn on a sunny Maine day is what a visit to Acadia National Park is all about.

Any seat here is perfect.

Order lunch and enjoy the view while savoring a popover sundae! Jordan Pond House Restaurant makes at least 16 gallons of homemade ice cream with Maine Oakhurst Dairy cream every single day so you know this is good!

A visit to this special place in the park is a must if you can grab a seat. And if you can't? You'll have a great excuse to plan another beautiful visit sometime soon.

Jordan Pond House Restaurant is open seasonally from late April to the end of October. Hours change each month. You can learn more about the restaurant by visiting their website. You can also check them out on Facebook. The restaurant can be reached at 207-276-3781.
