7 reviews for Chase's Daily
Maine has real hippies. Not the 'my mommy sent me to UC Berkley so I'm going to buy a beanie, listen to the Greatful Dead and call myself a hippy' hippies. I mean real 'i grow my own food and talk to mother earth and she frequently talks back' hippies.
So where is a good stanky dreadlocked Maine hippy to go for a bite to eat? Chase's Daily. And holy Timothy Leary this is one of the best places I've ever eaten at. I'm convinced there's a distinct correlation between frequent bouts of the munchies and creative, tasty food.
I've only eaten breakfast here. They only do dinner on Friday night. The food is great, the art is horrible and the atmosphere is patchouli nights sprinkled with corduroy and THC.....YUM
We stopped in here for dinner on a Sunday night. The place was supposed to be closed but they were doing a benefit dinner for a local soup kitchen. The food they prepared was free - just leave a donation of whatever you can afford.
And that is the vibe of this place. As others have mentioned Chase's is in a single large 30 ft ceiling exposed brick walled room with a semi-open kitchen and a few bar stools.
For the benefit dinner we didn't get to eat anything off the menu but judging by the quality of what they did prepare, the menu is likely excellent. Roasted winter vegetables, three kinds of soup, slaw, kale, biscuits. It was all just so damn good. We came from Camden just to eat at this place and it was well worth it.
Chase's Daily, a long drive for lunch, but 5 stars. Unusual, but then anything not franchised corporate could be a blaze of goodness, see the veggies walking in in summer, eat the vegetarian menu, and you spend the summer in Belfast.
Eschewing largely the tired Maine standards in seafood, this essentially vegetarian restaurant is such an unexpected treat amidst so much cutesy dross aimed at bland vacationing families. You'll miss most of the crying kids here and sample some inventive cuisine - all plated beautifully and dripping with freshness. Chase's is a real ingredients-first kind of place. Speaking of . . . BEST FEATURE: in Summer, on Weds ( I think - call to check first) at noon they bring in loads of artisinal produce and sell dirt cheap. We freaked out at the glorious array of veggies and flowers and small-batch honeys.
nestled in the small town of belfast, maine with a view of the ocean and the sounds of the town on all sides.
chase's daily is a gem.
an all vegetarian menu rests neatly beside a row of freshly baked breads and facing a wall of paintings from their own in house "perimeter gallery" . {who's best show bi-annual show "small works" was up last time i visited}
most of the produce is grown on the chase's own farm. and tuesday thru saturday during the summer the back of the house becomes a farmers market full of fresh cut flowers, veggies, honey and coffee beans.
if you are around for the weekend try not to miss the very special once a week "friday night dinners". a menu to rival even the hippest small new york bistro and all with a great local atmosphere.
a mom and pop to knock yr. socks off!
Chase's Daily is really a gem in the region of the coast. Fresh, local, seasonal foods are standard on their changing (vegetarian) menu - you can't go wrong with anything you order. When you want to "eat out" but still "eat local," Chase's is the answer. The atmosphere is comfortable - more upscale than most places in the area but it's still Maine, so it's not fancy. We don't go here often as it's a little pricey for dinner, but I'd rather go out to eat here once versus two or three times at any other local diner. And as others have suggested, don't miss their in-house farm market with produce from the Chase's family farm.
We stopped here last summer on our way up the coast, and there were so many good things on the menu, I barely noticed that it, unlike me, was vegetarian.
Housed in a high ceilinged great room with cool moldings and old wood floors reminiscent of a glorious Soho artspace, the restaurant's in front by the street, bakery and kitchen in the middle and an interesting farmer's market in the rear. It's really a delightful space on a steeply inclined street in the center of this old fishing town.
Textured soups, creative sandwiches, everything farm fresh or made from scratch. Classy, unpretentious service. Someone here has a sense of style and is a stickler for detail. Would succeed in any city in the country.
