What people say

Bandaloop closed permanently in September 2026 after 22 years, the Portland Press Herald reported. It began in Kennebunkport in 2004 and moved in 2019 to a renovated 18th-century barn in Arundel, where it was known for a global menu built on local ingredients. Press Herald coverage in 2024 highlighted its vegan-inclusive menu, which drew groups, and how the larger space broadened its approach.
