It’s not every day that we find a restaurant requiring extra work to visit that we’re willing to see. In Maine, it’s not uncommon for a friend to share a story about a place they visited that’s completely inconvenient, but has delicious food. We love the idea of those spots, but we’re not quick to jump in the car to check them out. But this place is different! It’s located on an island in Casco Bay and visiting requires a short boat ride that we love taking!
Island Lobster Company is open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the season which runs from the spring through the fall. You can learn more about the restaurant and see a menu by visiting their website. You can also follow them on Facebook to keep up-to-date on weather closures and seasonally schedule changes. The Casco Bay ferry schedule can be found here. Rides from Portland to Peaks Island are $7.70 for adults and $3.85 for adults 65+ and kids 5 to 15 years old.
