Where to eat

With its own active fishing port, it’s no surprise that Ogunquit offers some of the freshest seafood around. But did you know it also boasts an incredible dining scene beyond seafood? Here are some of our top picks:
Coffee Shop
Backyard Coffeehouse & Eatery
, located right in downtown Ogunquit, is the perfect spot for a little pick-me-up. This cozy artisan café serves locally roasted Bard Coffee from Portland, alongside a selection of freshly baked breakfast treats and delicious lunch options. Whether you grab a cup to go or relax on their outdoor patio, it’s the ideal way to start your day.
Classic Seafood & Ocean Views
Jackie's Too

Farm to Table

Upscale Coastal Cuisine & Breakfast with a View

pairs coastal elegance with oceanfront dining. By morning, it’s a peaceful spot for a leisurely breakfast - think Maine blueberry pancakes, omelets, and fresh coffee with ocean views.

Intimate Oceanfront Dining
With its prime location in Perkins Cove overlooking the Atlantic,

Generations of Ogunquit families and Perkins Cove visitors have returned year after year making this landmark their touchstone for quintessential Maine coastal fare. So much so it is kind of a rite of passage, “I ate my first “Billy's” lobster when I turned four!” Run by generations of the Tower family, founded by the cove legend, the late Billy Tower and his wife Bunny, and then by their children, and their own children. New England coastal fare includes Maine lobster rolls, hot lobster sauté, hearty clam chowder, Lobster stew, steamed clams, lobster or crab salad rolls & salad plates are ever-popular lunch and dinner favorites. More than seafood, ‘Billy’s” also offers fresh summer salads, barbeque chicken, corn on the cob, grilled hot dogs and hamburgers, and tempting desserts. Their signature beverage? Their Rum Punch, of course. Speaking of punch, a Myers rum floater is an optional add-on for those in a festive spirit!
