Magnus on Water - Biddeford, Maine

Magnus on Water is one the best restaurants I've been to in many years. My wife and I were celebrating our 7 year anniversary and we couldn't have chose a better place. Our waitress was lovely and was happy to talk to us about the menu and offer thoughts and recommendations when asked. Each course was brought out with perfect timing that the whole ordeal felt like an event and not just a standard dinner, and each dish was unique and clearly crafted with great care and finesse. We also tried a number of their cocktails which were equal if not better than the food. I cannot recommend this place enough and I will certainly be returning.

BEST cocktails we have ever had. One of the owners was a bartender and makes the cocktails himself, and the whole bar team works together for inspiration of their cocktails. A must try!
Food was on the expensive side but good!

A memorable dining experience in Biddeford, Maine. The atmosphere, food and waitstaff made for a pleasurable meal. Scott helped us choose two inspirational cocktails to start. My wife and I shared two small plates: Raddichio salad + yuca fries and one large plate of braised short rib. For dessert, we each enjoyed a picarone, a sweet potato donut & pineapple-Montenegro sauce. Magnus on the Water is definitely on our “we’ll be back” list.

Really cute place for drinks! It’s a fancy date night vibe, the outdoor space is lovely. Great addition to Biddeford. Food is pricey, and when we went it was very plant forward. Cocktails were great though

This place is a hidden gem in Biddeford. They are already on the map due to the James Beard nomination and well deserved. The drinks were extremely high caliber. I had 3 different types of old fashions and each was better than the next. They put a lot of effort and though into each cocktail and it shows. The drinks are inventive, well balanced, strong and subtle, and displayed very elegantly. I’d definitely go back

My family, friends, and I went to celebrate my medical school graduation. Everything was absolutely amazing—from the cocktails to the food to the service. Our favorite dishes were the yuca fries and the aji de gallina—we ordered multiple rounds of both dishes. If you’re in the Biddeford area, you need to pay them a visit.

Magnus is a truly special place that has become a beacon in the greater Biddeford area and beyond—for its nuanced and mouthwatering cocktails, consistently delicious and locally sourced food, and the amazing service and atmosphere.

They have shown nothing but grace and thoughtful consideration for the safety of both their staff and their patrons, even in the midst of this pandemic in which so many businesses have had to shutter their doors.

It is one of the few institutions that requires proof of vaccine in order to dine inside, a policy that they, as a privately owned business, have every right to enact and enforce.

The Magnus crew has fostered an inclusive, welcoming and loving environment not only through their food and beverage program, but in their continued devotion to the well-being of their fellow community members—one of the countless reasons we choose to keep supporting them.
