Two Cats Restaurant and Inn. Bar Harbor, Maine.

I think it's time to head up north for this review...
If you are ever in the Bar Harbor area you should:
1. Take a drive through Acadia National Park, if you don't have the time to actually hike
2. Have some popovers on Jordan Pond and most importantly
3. Head over to Two Cats Restaurant and Inn in the center of Bar Harbor.


We did not stay in the inn but I remembered from my trip last year that if you are looking for a fantastic breakfast then this was the place to be.  There seems to always be a line but do not get discouraged. 

Saturday morning we got seated without a problem, and this was a table for four!  We all ordered different omelets that were incredibly delicious, you can even get some with real Maine lobster in them!  You should however expect to wait a little while for your food but as it says in the menu, good food takes time, so you should just relax, have some more coffee and whip out your Maine map to get a better idea of the rest of your day.

Our waiter Liam was great.  He was always around with more coffee and helped me out when I tried to name the flowers that were on our table but was stumped.

We spent the majority of Saturday hiking the Precipice and Beehive trails and lounging out on the beach at Sand Beach.

Sunday was our last day and although we were willing to try something new for breakfast we knew that we were hungry for some excellent food and nothing was going to beat Two Cats.  This time there was a bit of a wait but because people go off for walks your name may be called much sooner, so a word of advice, even if you are told you may have to wait 45 minutes for a table for two, don't get discouraged. Grab some coffee, sit out on the garden and hope that the people ahead of you have decided to go for a little walk.  We were seated out on the patio and ordered the same thing as the morning before and were once again greeted by Liam. 

The rest of the day was spent driving through Acadia and then unfortunately seeing first hand what can happen when you are too close to the water.  Yes, we were in Acadia when Hurricane Bill hit Thunder Hole...


So...let's review...
1. Bar Harbor may be a pretty long drive away but it is certainly worth the visit
2. If you've already made it to Bar Harbor, take a drive through Acadia and have a few popovers
3. You should never forget Two Cats for breakfast!

Until the next review!
