WONDERFUL AROMAS beckon guests to enter Le Domaine. Our very French lobby and bar is wonderfully inviting, the perfect place to enjoy an aperitif with friends before dinner. The living room, with a cozy fire and garden views, is enlivened by colorful French Provençal fabrics, paintings and antiques.

DINNER MENUS are à la carte, with repertoire favorites and daily specials. Only the freshest seafoods, meats, and finest ingredients are used. Most of our produce and dairy products are provided by local organic farms.

Our WINE CELLAR offers an extensive collection of French wine and a small but exclusive selection of American wines, and has been given the Award of Excellence by Wine Spectator magazine.

We are open to our Inn guests and the public for dinner from Tuesday to Sunday, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, until Nov. 3. Reservations are strongly recommended. Sunday brunch until Aug. 26, from 10 AM to 1 PM.

"TO EAT these entrees slowly, sipping the cabernet-like Chateau Cissac, smooth and intricate in flavor; to speak passionately of important things; to be surrounded by other diners enjoying their outing in Hancock, was to be given a gift of a high moment among life's possibilities."  

PORTLAND SUNDAY TELEGRAM

"THE MOST UNUSUAL aspect of this endearing restaurant is the wine list, which is, to say the least, outstanding and entirely French. Wine lovers will find treasures here, both wines from lesser known regions and great French vintages.The wine cellar... is a treasure of its own accord."
