Coastal Maine Restaurant Named the ‘Most Adorable’ in the State

We have plenty of adorable spots here in the Pine Tree State, but one restaurant on the coast of Maine has officially been named the most adorable of them all.

Listen, we get it—if you saw the headline and thought, 'What the heck makes a restaurant adorable, let alone the most adorable?' we don’t blame you. Honestly, we had the same reaction. So trust us when we say: we’re right there with you.

So, with that in mind, who’s making this call and deciding that one of our state’s restaurants is more adorable than all the others?

LoveFood's list of ‘The Most Adorable Small-Town Restaurant in Every State’ is based on a mix of genuine user reviews, awards, and their team’s personal visits. Their goal was to highlight charming, cozy restaurants far from big-city crowds, perfect for a peaceful escape.

Now that we’ve got that covered, which restaurant in Maine has earned the title of most adorable for 2025, and where can it be found?

According to LoveFood, in their report highlighting ‘The Most Adorable Small-Town Restaurant in Every State,’ their pick for Maine is Peter Ott’s on the Water in Camden. LoveFood had the following to say about their selection:

Owned by chef Peter Masin-Peters, the venue boasts panoramic views and a menu filled with seafood and burgers. Customers regularly talk about the New England clam chowder, rave about how fresh and delicious the oysters are, and say the lobster roll served here is the best they’ve eaten.

We always like to remind folks that when we share lists like this—whether it's the best or, in this case, the most adorable—it’s just one publication’s opinion, not an official fact.

That said, LoveFood's pick this time is hard to argue with. If you’ve never been to Peter Ott’s on the Water in Camden, it might be worth a visit when it reopens for the summer to see the charm for yourself at 16 Bayview Landing, Camden, Maine.

And there you have it—Peter Ott’s on the Water in Camden has been named Maine’s most adorable restaurant for 2025!
