One of the key draws to Maine for many over the past several years has been the state's excellent culinary scene.

While Portland, Maine, usually gets most of the headlines, there are many other incredible restaurants all across the state. Some of them operating in tourism hotspots.

OpenTable has released their list of the 'most booked' restaurants throughout the state of Maine.
