We Bet You've Never Heard of Yelp's Best Restaurant for Maine

Despite Maine being a rural state, we have hundreds of amazing restaurants.

Of course, we have more than our fair share of seafood spots. Given our location on the Atlantic Ocean, this only makes sense.

However, Maine’s restaurant offerings go way beyond seafood. We have amazing steakhouses, great Mexican food, eateries that specialize in bao buns, and fine dining establishments that put some Manhattan restaurants to shame.

Unless you are independently wealthy, you are probably on a budget that prevents you from eating out all the time. So, how do you choose where you’ll spend your money?

What is the #1 Restaurant in Maine, According to Yelp Users?

Recently, Yelp put out their list of the top restaurants in Maine, according to reviews left by the platform’s users.

While we were pretty sure it was going to be an eatery located in one of Maine’s more affluent communities, we were shocked by the restaurant that came out on top, because it was a place that most of us had never heard of.

According to Yelp, the top restaurant in Maine for August of 2024 was Chez Rosa.

Chez Rosa Bistro in Kennebunkport, Maine

Owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Kyle Robinson and Yazmin Saraya Jean, the French bistro is located on Cross Street in Kennebunkport, Maine.

Current entrees include hake Wellington, steak frites, and ratatouille. One of the favorites of guests seems to be the fondue.

The prices are reasonable considering the type of fare, where the restaurant is located, and the state of the economy. Most entrees will cost you between $28 and $39.
