I ate here on a friend's recommendation-- the food was tasty, and you didn't want to stop eating. I had three courses and normally I skip dessert. This time I couldn't resist having creme carmel. It was an amazing treat for the senses and the sensations.

We live in Bar Harbor half the year, and food and wine matter to us. And while Bar Harbor is a wonderful place to visit, great food is generally not its strong point. There are not too many truly worthy options. Mache, however, stands out like a beacon. The menu is imaginative, the food excellent, the service attentive, and the... More

Mache Bistro is a lovely, intimate dining experience. Anticipate a fine dining experience without any pretension. The interior is small and always over-flowing with locals, seasonal residents and tourists alike. I've had the pleasure of dining here many times and anticipate returning many more. The menu changes "nightly" taking advantage of local fresh seasonal ingredients and the food is always... More

A very nice ambience in this cosy bistro in Bar Harbor. At first the menu looks rather challenging with combinations that you might think would clash ( check out menu online). However the flavours come together very well. The duck breast with smoked duck & sweet potato hash was excellent. A grilled bread salad with mushrooms & Asiago cheese was... More

My wife and I like to seek out restaurants that are good and frequented mostly by the residents in the area ( not a "tourist trap" ) and the place in Bar Harbor is Mache Bistro. Cozy, with great service and exceptional food. Overall, reasonably priced and very much a restaurant you would enjoy.

Love the small setting and great service and food. Recommend reservations as the place fills up in the evenings and walk ins were turned away multiple times. The wine selection and wine mixes are good. Nothing ridiculous was listed or pushed. Small selection of local beers also. We had the following: Appetizers: Cheese plate - good collection of cheeses (nothing... More

At the edge of Bar Harbar is a little gem... Mache Bistro! I read several reviews from different sources about all kinds of restaurants, and this was worth the planning. Could not get a reservation, so we took the chance and got a seat at the bar. Great food - pork belly starter is amazing, and great meal - flank... More

My husband and I were seated promptly for our 7PM reservation, but we did notice another couple came in after us (but still before 7PM) who had a 7PM reservation and were not seated until 7:20PM. The atmosphere is intimate and the music is fantastic. We ordered the clam bisque and the word "cream" in the description did make me... More

We have been to Mache Bistro on several occasions over time, and Mache never disappoints. The other evening we went for dinner with five friends; and, again the food was superb and the service impeccable. My lamb chops were by far the best that I've ever eaten. The Bistro is small and popular, so make sure to make a reservation... More
