Mahone Bay Restaurants and Cafes

---

Rebecca's Restaurant, right at the entrance of Mahone Bay, aims to serve you thoughtful wholesome food. They strive to source as locally as possible depending on the season. They change their menu three times a year to reflect seasonal availability of products! Changing with the seasons also allows them to keep our dishes creative fun and interesting. If you have food sensitivities and/or allergies, Rebecca's Restaurant is one of the best places to eat.

Mateus Bistro, also in Mahone Bay, delivers tasty foods made home-style and simple. Charcoal smoked meats, fresh seafoods and local produce help bring seasonal menus to the tables. In the summer, Friday is a grill menu where everything is charcoal grilled to order right on the nice patio that has a Mediterranean feel to it.
