The Butcher The Baker

The Butcher The Baker is a downtown Bangor restaurant run by co-owners Carl Birmingham, who handles the kitchen, and Brittany LeVasseur, who runs the front of the house and the cocktail menu. The kitchen builds its dishes from scratch and says it uses local product where it can, with house-made components. Diners mention dishes like pork belly, steak frites, chicken and waffles, and crab-stuffed rainbow trout, along with a cocktail list.

The restaurant serves dinner Tuesday through Saturday evenings and hosts private events. The menu rotates, and the specials are being updated, so it is worth calling ahead to check what is currently offered. It is at 84 Hammond Street in downtown Bangor.
