    Their list of yummy cocktails
    Arthur L.

    What a pleasant surprise to find in Bethel! I had the Ban Mi and my wife enjoyed the Say my Nom Say my Nom vegetarian salad and both were delicious! We ordered a Vietini cocktail to try and that was yummy! The service was quick and friendly and the ambiance was nice.

    beef shank pho

    Where do I start? The food of course! Amazing is almost an understatement... I dine here every time I'm in town, at least once usually more, and I can't believe I'm just now writing this review. I have a never once been disappointed with any of the dishes I've tried. A few times I had ones that were a bit too spicy for me, but I'm a wimp so that's nothing on them. The menu tells you that up front I just thought I could handle it...nope. I've tried everything at least once too so that's saying something. One of my favorites is a rice dish with fried salmon nuggets. I had never heard of salmon cooked that way; I love it and order it whenever its on the menu. Thankfully their menu changes frequently, so there's always something new and interesting to try. I love to sit up at the counter and watch these amazing cooks/chefs making magic! they chop and dice (the entire cooking part of the kitchen is open so you can see all your food as its being prepared and cooked) and use everything fresh and it's comes out in the tastes and the aromas that fill the air and has you salivating in anticipation. Also I find when dining alone, its nice sitting at the counter because I usually always strike up a conversation with someone and learn something new about the most random things, and I love that! Many times it's the locals, and sometimes "tourists" like me, but no matter I've found everyone very interesting in different ways, and always come away a little more knowledgeable about some topic or a recommendation for a local contractor, or where to shop for something I need, for example. Not to leave out the aesthetic details for those of you that appreciate it like I do. They serve everything on beautiful mismatched china, not your standard mass produced heavy duty plain ole ugly white dishes that a lot of restaurants use. We all know that makes it tastes better right?! At the same time, they aren't in the least bit pretentious. Beautiful green plants do their job of creating beauty and making the air healthier as they adorn the shelves running above the wall of windows that bring lots of natural light into the space. The tables have those comfortable, bouncy type 70's - 80's wickerback chairs that take me back to my momma's table growing up when she still fed not only my belly, but my soul and spirit, and so for me it has extra "feel goods" besides tastes. Lastly, speaking of tastes...I can promise you the portions are generous and you will be too full for desserts BUT either save 1/2 your meal for later and eat dessert in house, or get it to go. Its always something incredibly delicious and unique, from scratch too like momma made it! They also have delicious french press coffee. I noticed a one star review where the person was complaining about showing up and it being closed and this website said it was open. Well...that's happened to me with places before too. What I've learned when talking with them about it they don't control what yelp puts on their site. Even when they've told yelp their hours it doesn't always get corrected. So what I leaned to do is not trust ANY platform for the hours. CALL the restaurant directly. Especially when you're in a town that mostly seasonal. Bethel is a small town, and this is a "mom and pops" so to speak, establishment, not your big town chain restaurant. Isn't that what you're wanting when you look on yelp?

    Honestly I see why this place has that highly-coveted 5-star rating on Yelp. Got takeout here during a road trip - we searched for something along our route and happened upon this absolutely adorable little gem. Pickup was extremely smooth and easy, with an estimated time given in advance. My Chicken Banh Mi was SO GOOD and the Angry Rooster was equally delicious! Tbh I wanted to try EVERYTHING on the menu bc they had such interesting and varied options. Loved the decor of the place too, and at peak fall, sitting outdoors with the colorful view was absolutely the way to go. Wish I lived closer for another visit!

    spicy margaritas, so good I need two!

    I don't know where to begin, the ambience is amazing with both indoor and outdoor seating. The decor is lively and fun. The service is great and servers are attentive and well versed in the menu. Lastly, just look at this photo of the bahn mi and fish sandwiches.. I think they speak for themselves. (completely from scratch kitchen)!

    My son loves the porke bowl with chicken and we enjoyed the Angry Rooster. Very tasty! Friendly service and the food is always ready when we arrive for pick-up. Love using the app to order online. We're now loyal customers!

    Pho!
    Avery M.

    I usually only use Yelp to read the reviews but eating at Le Mu made it necessary to finally write my own. This place is one of the few restaurants I have eaten at that deserves a ten out of ten. To begin, Le Mu is beautifully decorated and home-y with lots of plants, eclectic plates, and a view of the chef and staff working in the beautiful kitchen. The service was amazing, everyone was incredibly nice and helpful with a thorough knowledge of the menu and its offerings. I asked for recommendations and they delivered. Since the restaurant is on the smaller side multiple waitresses attended to us and made sure we had everything we needed. Now, the food. I am from Boston and am a foodie for sure. This place is my new favorite restaurant. I ate here twice in three days and am planning to go back once more before leaving Bethel. Both times the food was consistently high quality. The chef puts an artful southern touch on traditional Laotian food. The pho was unlike anything I've ever had before with a buttery melt off the bone rib completing the bowl. All of the appetizers I had were incredible, notably the soft boiled eggs with chili oil and the broccolini. Again, both things I have had before but never as tastefully diverse and as special as it is satisfying to look at. If you're looking for food that will make you smile, this is the place. I cannot recommend Le Mu enough. Props to the chef and the staff for the hard work that makes Le Mu the best restaurant in Bethel (and maybe even the best restaurant in Maine). I will most definitely be back soon.

    Happy to stumble upon this hidden gem near Sunday River. The restaurant had recently won a local…read morecompetition called the best pour award so I had to get a cocktail. I chose the White Rabbit since it's not too often you see carrot used in a drink. It had a good balance of sake, carrot and nutmeg. Benedictine rounded out the flavor profile. I liked that aquafaba (the water from chickpeas) was used for the foam as opposed to egg whites. The food was on point too. Seafood chowder had a nice texture with moderate amount of tender scallops and whitefish. It was more peppery than others. Kale and Brussels was well dressed and the miso stood out. Mildly spicy at the start but the spice built up as you ate it. Duck tacos had a good mix with spicy green apple salsa and watermelon radish. It paired well with the duck although I think it would work with any protein. The chef's fish was cod that absorbed the miso marinade perfectly. Oyster mushrooms were the perfect accompaniment. This sat on a bed of rice noodles. It was sufficient, but found myself wanting a noodle that could hold more of the sauce. The dish was adorned with a fried crispy rice cracker that was a favorite of mine growing up. I also tried a bit of my friend's chicken and farro. Chicken was juicy and flavor was excellent with the chicken flavor enhanced by the spices/glaze used. Farro tabbuleh did embody the flavors of the original tabbuleh (usually consisting of bulgar wheat and parsley with lemon) with a heartier texture. Service was excellent. They were attentive without being intrusive. They waited for us to finish our starters before bringing out our mains. When our utensils were refreshed they were placed on top of a new napkin. Lots of places just put it directly on to the table. I'll be sure to stop by again if I'm in the area.

    I'm surprised that this place is 3 stars. My husband, son and I came here on a Friday night because…read moreit was close to our hotel. My expectations were low based on the ratings. However, we ended up having a great meal. I got the tomato soup and bread, and my hubby got Joe's special (or some similar name; it was pretty much like a Philly Cheesesteak). I was obsessed with the soup. It was flavorful, without being rich. My husband was happy with his sandwich, and very impressed with the sweet potato fries. The only downfall is the price of the cocktails. We paid $14 for each drink...and the drinks weren't anything to write home about. All in all, a solid 4 star. We'll be returning later this week.

The hostess asked us to come back in 20 minutes because they were at capacity which we did with no issue. When we returned our hostess was quite rude and seemed overwhelmed and annoyed that we had come back. We were seated at a table and our server did not come over for at least 25 minutes. It took another 10 minutes to get our drinks, they missed our waters (which we asked for). The server did not ask us what we wanted for food. It appeared only one server was working. Eventually after trying to flag her down for fifteen more minutes she took our order. Our waitress barely paid attention to us. After we ate I left with my friend and our girlfriends stayed for drinks while we skied. They asked to go to the bar at which point the hostess told them to wait at the table for someone to come over and bring them to the bar. That never happened and they asked again at which point the hostess told them they had to leave because they were at the table past their time limit. They told her they were waiting to go to the bar and eventually were moved there. The service was even slower from there on. It overall seemed like they didn't want us there and didn't want to serve us. We spent a good amount of money and were respectful of the rules but the staff was rude and almost completely ignored us. It's disappointing because I have been coming here multiple times a year since I was a kid. Today was possibly the worst service I have ever experienced at a restaurant.
