Camden Maine hosts one of the best small restaurants I have eaten in for quite some time.  Francine is located in a quaint old New England house on a quiet side street.  If it wasn’t for the christmas lights outside you would walk right past it.  Actually the wonderful smell would have made you wonder if you were wandering into someone’s kitchen.

The fare was not typical of Maine, but they do use quite a few local ingredients such as the braised rabbit I had.  While not quite falling off the bone it was tender and exquisite.

Don’t miss the desserts!  You might find something that will surprise you.  Carl Honoré, who sat next to us liked the custard made with duck egg yolks.

Also, talk to the bartender, Jeff, who has a wealth of information about what to do in the area.  The local visitors center should point people to him.
