Are there any good places to eat during the off-season?

Yep there's always a few places open especially before the holiday season is over. Then they'll stagger with temporary closings ranging from a week to a month or two depending on the place but there's always some open year round. Hours will be shorter and menus are typically different but places like my favorite in town Mckays did a ton of great holiday specials last year. Finback alehouse is usually a reliable winter dinner, Atlantic and fogtown do great pop ups. There's always plenty to enjoy!

Honestly I found the food in bar harbor almost universally more disappointing than other towns. Eaten a few different places there and would say just go to Ellsworth or Belfast instead.

Thai Sana on the way to Bar Harbor, hidden gem. I like Shinbashi in Ellsworth, but its older brother Green Tea in Bangor (if you’re on the way) is where it’s at.

If you're looking for something easy fogtown brewing does great pizzas (they have a bar harbor spot as well but I've never been) 86 This in Ellsworth does really good burritos, in Belfast Chases Daily is a great coffee shop with good food options.

The Thirsty Whale, Peeky Toes, and the Barnacle are my in-town off season favs! Note that the barnacle is mostly a bar w/ oysters, not a spot for dinner.
