A friendly gathering spot named after my grandfather, pepper martin. He loved socializing with friends and family over smoked fish and his own brew. We serve a collection of Maine favorites! Flavorsome, generously portioned food. Natively sourced, and always fresh. Seafood is our specialty. It was pepper's favorite too!

Havana has been committed to serving local and organic meats, produce and seafood since it opened 25 years ago. All of our meats are “naturally raised” meaning no steroids, antibiotics or hormones and “humanely raised” meaning room to roam, proper shelter and gentle handling. We make every effort to buy only sustainably harvested seafood, primarily from the Gulf of Maine. We have consistently searched out New England farmers and fisherfolk to purchase product that is not only great tasting but great for the environment and local economy as well.

    Our second evening at the Reading Room at the Bar Harbor Inn was just as impressive as our first. The room’s energy and ambiance, attentive service, and beautifully executed dishes from a thoughtfully designed menu made for another memorable dinner. We’re returning for their final night of the season—our third visit—to try more of the menu. Two nights simply weren’t enough!

    Pepper’s Landing was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Reserved for 6:15 but got there at 6:00. Seated immediately at a table overlooking the waterfront. Gabe, our fabulous server was friendly, attentive & efficient. Orono Tubular IPA was the best IPA I’ve tasted in years. The Lobster Stew was to die for. I used the delicious yeast roll to clean the bowl. My spouse ordered Fisherman’s Feast: breaded Calamari & breaded shrimp with a side of sweet potato fries & was overwhelmed. The leftover take home box must have weighed 5 pounds! I wish we lived in Old Town so we could eat at Pepper’s Landing every day!
