The end is almost near for the mighty Bandaloop restaurant.

Starting in 2004 at Dock Square in Kennebunkport, Maine, it didn't take long for Bandaloop to grow a following.

The small restaurant was serving big dishes, inspired by world cuisine and delivered using organic and local ingredients. It quickly became one of the most popular spots in town.

Eventually, Bandaloop decided it was time to expand and moved their operation to a historic 1700's barn in Arundel, Maine, that allowed the restaurant to triple in size.

Bandaloop has been operating at that location since 2019 but won't be there for much longer.

Bandaloop also hopes to be able to offer a cookbook featuring some of their famed dishes that have had customers returning to the restaurant for years.
