Restaurants in Cape Elizabeth, ME

Just south of Portland, Cape Elizabeth offers the scenic backdrop you want for eating lobsters. The Lobster Shack in particular is outfitted with an array of picnic tables at water’s edge framed by the twin lighthouses of Casco Bay. In the evening on a summer night, the breeze blows in from the sea and spreads a fine, barely salty mist over dinner: the most delicious seasoning on earth. Nearby at unbearably scenic Kettle Cove is the Kettle Cove Creamery & Cafe, where lobster rolls are divine and the ice cream parlor around back offers such Maine flavors as blueberry pie ice cream and Grape-Nuts ice cream. If you are traveling around Cape Elizabeth, keep an eye out for a food truck called Bite Into Maine. It serves both kinds of lobster roll: with mayonnaise or with melted butter.
