Restaurants near Fort Fairfield

“I've eaten in restaurants in a dozen European countries and all over the United States and I can say with confidence that the food and the dining experience that Canterbury Royale offers is outstanding--it ranks with the best two or three meals I have eaten anywhere. Chefs Renee and Barbara are interesting, delightful people who are extraordinarily dedicated to their craft as chefs and hosts.The ambiance one experiences with them is very personal. One feels welcomed into their home really. The dining setting is quite formal, but in an older relation, rather than a stylish upscale restaurant, kind of way. The decor is intense--Hansel and Gretel cottage cum Victorian fantasy cum family heirlooms cum sculptures of animals and painted portraits of young beauty. These are mostly Chef Renee's own work. The service, provided mostly by Barbara, is skilled and attentive but not intrusive.In our party, people enjoyed Chicken Francoise, a seafood assortment ("Port of Marseilles") and Beef Wellington, all superb. No effort was spared on dinner rolls (croissants and a braided onion bread), leek soup (wonderfully flavorful), and a small serving of pheasant in a sauce with a Romaine lettuce headdress on a small round of soft cheese. Desserts were a torte from a cooking course offered by a culinary institute in Kiev and, for the GF diner, creme brulee with a stawberry/Chambord ice.

Dietary restrictions: Chefs Renee and Barbara were much more accommodating to my needs as a gluten-free diner than I expected. They served me a GF bread that was truly delicious: very flavorful and moist and not crumbly, as GF baked goods often are. It was the equal of any GF bread I've had anywhere.They also accommodated a dining partner who preferred to avoid cream in her entree on the fly gracefully, suggesting an alternative sauce.”

“Always have good experience here. Very patient and friendly and helpful staff. Very personable. Always find what I want or need in stick and in and out the store pretty fast. Great little store

Kid-friendliness: Lots of options for snacks and treats and candy for kiddos. More so than other stores I've been in

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs and able to be accessed with wheelchair”

“We usually take out but, tonight we dined in right by the fire and enjoyed the first 30 minutes by ourselves. The hostess/server was a sweetheart and very attentive. The food as usual was awesome. Missed seeing Steve but, I see him all over town anyway. I’ll be honest… the ONLY reason we come into town is for our mail and our occasional dinner at Boondocks! If it wasn’t for that I wouldn’t step foot in this bankrupt, broken down, section 8 lowlife trailer park town!”

“The coffee is so good and the atmosphere and staff are even better. I love this place”

“The entire menu is great. Aroostook County now has quite a few barbeque options, but this is by far my favorite. All the meats (brisket, pork, and chicken) are smoked perfectly (emphasis on smoked, not grilled). The sides are great and creative as well (try the bear bait and street corn - both are amazing).”

“The best social scene in Perth-Andover. Lively regular customers, a smart sarcastic waitress and consistantly good cooking. Wish they had de-caf coffee or tea tho.”

“Have been there twice - great service awesome food!”

“This is by far the best Chinese food I have ever tasted. We will only come here for our food. Staff are very polite and friendly. Very filling and satisfying. Food is always very fresh tasting.”

“This crew is nothing sort of outstanding and Melissa is a great manager who cares deeply and tremendously for her staff. Everyone has a smile and a friendly exchange and they just all around, make my day better. Keep up the great work everybody!”

“Finally this store has hired some staff that make the experience such an enjoyable one! Christine always greets us with a smile and pays special attention to how we would like our sandwiches. She also has a spectacular sense of humor so we always end up in stitches! If you visit the Subway when she's working you'll be happy with your order and entertained at the same time. 2 thumbs up for this new hire, hopefully the other lackluster staff will follow her example!”
