15 Birch Street Cottage, Rockport, Maine
Food scene
Our favorite restaurant - steps away from the cottage. Likely the best oysters you've ever tasted. I recommend booking several weeks in advance of your stay - this place is very popular.

Beautiful restaurant, with a small "Dispensa" with prepared foods, wines, and gourmet food items. Book in advance for dinner- ask for seating on the deck overlooking Rockport Harbor.

Amazing restaurant in Rockland. Most food is grown on site - show up about an hour early for your reservation, order a drink, and stroll through the gardens. On Sundays, Primo does $1 oysters in its barn, often with live music and some food. If you can't get a reservation, show up and ask to get on the list for "upstairs" - this is where the locals go. It's the same menu, but a lively and vibrant scene (I actually recommend upstairs over the dining room, but there is the unknown of availability!) Book reservations WAY in advance if possible online through the website.

Thai food in Maine? Yes. The New York Times proclaimed this the best Thai restaurant in America. Gorgeous dining room, small shop with Asian pantry items. Hugely popular among locals and tourists. Book is 100% required (they probably won't even talk to you if you show up looking for a seat - don't take it personally. This place is very popular).

Technically a butcher, but MSM has fantastic breads (the baguettes sell out early in the day!), prepared foods and sandwiches, interesting pantry items, and cheeses. The butchers are very helpful, and will assist in selecting whatever you need to make a perfect dinner.

Maine Sport is nearby and is the perfect place to rent bikes, kayaks, or canoes. Huge selection of outdoor sporting goods and clothing. If you enjoy fly fishing (or any type of fishing) ask for Seth. He is a legendary fishing expert, and can help you with fishing location recommendations, equipment, or any other fishing-related issues.
