Roost Café and Bistro @ 98 Provence
A warm and welcoming Cafe and Bistro where our philosophy is hand-crafted, a la minute entrees and appetizers that are exquisite, yet affordable. We pride ourselves on classical cooking techniques with contemporary flavors and creations that are perfect for a bistro. Our patio is also the right choice for alfresco dining for breakfast, lunch and dinners. We are minutes north of York and minutes south of Ogunquit.

"This is a perfect little gem located in a quaint farmhouse on Highway 1 in Cape Neddick, Maine. I had forgotten that restauranteurs like this still exist. Rob and Aldo make one feel as though you are dining in a private home with the perfect hosts. Great Martini Menu and Great Fresh Food!"

"We felt like unliked stepchildren with poor service---for example, unable to get the refills requested for our wine and beverages (dying for more water).
Then with dessert ordered by one of our party, the rest of us order cappacinos that were the worst tasting of any we have sampled around the world----like BAD expresso...with foam.
We have been charmed in the past, but doubt that we will return (despite the fine food) as service should be key to a large share of the dining experience. Very disappointing---and we have dined here before, but suspect that we will not again do so."

"I would be a regular here if we lived closer. Instead, we use it as an intermittent stop off if we are traveling between Portland and Boston for dinner. Consistently very good for a variety of palates and price ranges. We have ordered a variety of things on their specials board and off of the menu and never have been disappointed. Service is friendly and efficient. This is a good place."
