Our Story

How Our Journey Began

How Our Journey Began

We opened Bandaloop in 2004 with one clear goal: to create a place that blended global ideas with local ingredients. From the start, we focused on organic food, strong relationships with farmers, and thoughtful service. Over time, we became more than a restaurant. We became part of the community. Every guest, conversation, and shared meal helped shape who we are today.
A New Home, Same Values

A New Home, Same Values

When we moved from Kennebunkport to Arundel, we knew our values would stay the same. Our new home is a three-story barn built in the 1700s, full of character and warmth. We updated the layout and added new service options, but our focus on local sourcing, seasonal menus, and relaxed dining never changed. This space allows our story to keep growing.

Community at Our Core

We believe good food starts with strong connections. We work closely with Maine farmers, producers, and suppliers to support local families and businesses. When you dine with us, you help strengthen this network. Our team takes pride in creating a place where guests feel welcome, valued, and comfortable. We are grateful for the trust and support that keeps us going.
