Brasserie Le Brun

Seasonal French brasserie focused on raw bar towers, classic sauces, steakhouse cuts, and polished seafood plates in a more formal Cottage Street setting.

Best when you want the formal raw-bar-and-steakhouse version of a Bar Harbor dinner: start with oysters or tartare, then move into halibut, scallops, or a steak preparation.
