Maine’s cities have an endless array of fine dining opportunities, but we have a special place in our hearts for the rural, rustic restaurants found in the tiny towns and hamlets of the countryside. Here’s a restaurant that’s tucked away in a historic inn, and it’s worth a pilgrimage, whether you’re just stopping by for dinner, or staying all weekend.
A trip to Kawanhee Inn is well worth the drive. The inn is located in the tiny town of Weld, which has a population of fewer than 500 residents. It's a rural, picturesque spot that's just begging to be visited.
The inn opened in 1929, and it still has the vibe of a classic Maine retreat. It has hosted locals, tourists, and even foreign dignitaries throughout the years, and you'll see why the moment you pull up.
It's pretty hard to beat views like this while you're dining! Webb Lake is simply stunning, and you'll feel like you're in the middle of paradise here.
The seasonal menu focuses on Continental fare, based on what's fresh right now. You'll find an array of seafood, fresh vegetables, and steaks on the menu.
