Where to Eat in Ogunquit

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

Jonathan's Ogunquit

Pizza & Craft Brews

With locations across Maine,
Brickyard Hollow Brewing Company
is known for its delicious beer and pizza. The Ogunquit location features 12 taps pouring craft brews from their New Gloucester brewery, including ales, IPAs, lagers, and stouts. Pair that with some of the best pizza in town, including a gluten-free crust option that everyone can enjoy.

Upscale Coastal Cuisine & Breakfast with a View

Blue Bistro at the Beachmere Inn
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. By evening, the menu shifts to refined comfort like seared scallops and filet mignon. Whether it’s sunrise or sunset, it’s always a memorable meal.

Intimate Oceanfront Dining

With its prime location in Perkins Cove overlooking the Atlantic,

Tacos & Margaritas
