If all your exploring in Acadia has left you hungry, stop in for some popovers at Jordan Pond House!
Nestled right next to the lake, Jordan Pond House is an idyllic spot to warm up (or cool down) after adventuring around the park, or perhaps grab a romantic dinner.
It has been serving its famous popovers to guests since the 1890s, making it a historic site of interest within the park.
But foodies shall rejoice as well, because the food here is INCREDIBLE. The menu is full of mouth-watering locally sourced and seasonal food options, such as fresh Maine seafood and Maine blueberries. Yum!! Click here to view their whole menu.
The famous popovers
The delicious popovers are served with Maine strawberry jam and butter. They may look huge, but these things are light, airy, and mostly hollow inside. And insanely addicting.
This place gets very busy and the wait times can be horrendous, so you should definitely try to make a reservation. Click here to book online, or call (207)276-3316.
If you are unable to get a reservation or decided to go spontaneously, the shortest waits for tables are before 11:30am or after 4pm.
Jordan Pond House is only open seasonally though, so be sure to check the website for current operating hours before you go.
The Lobster & Crab Cakes, made with blistered corn and an oven-dried tomato and white bean salad, served with a lemon chive sauce. Totally amaze-balls.
Pastries the size of my head… yes please!
Lobster Stew made with fresh Beal’s lobster, butter, sherry, and cream. Just OMG. I could eat this everyday.
An amazing meal served in a perfectly beautiful atmosphere… life doesn’t get much better than this!
P.S. the blueberry iced tea was delicious and refreshing. Trying foods and drinks made with blueberries is a must when in Maine!
LOBSTER + BLUEBERRIES = The taste of Maine.
