Ambiance is on point. Quaint. Lovely. Local. Sustainable. Fair wage employer. Beautifully curated menu with lots of options. Farm fresh kitchen, locally produced ingredients. Ordered the chilled noodle salad and the nam salad with pork. Both salads delivered a textured and flavorful dining experience. Crunchy rice with peanuts gapes and lettuce created an incredible flavor profile for the nam salad. The chilled noodle salad is perfect on a summer day. Refreshing flavors with the cilantro and mint leaves added. My only suggestion is to serve it in a larger bowl so it can be mixed. Presentation is lovely which leaves execution difficult for the patron. Once I ate through a portion sitting was easier. The stirring allows for a full texture and flavor mouth bomb experience this salad provides! Leon Bridges radio put a lovely bow on our lunch. We will return if ever in the area! read more

It's a nice little place but can be hard to get in and the accustics in there are not great - very noisy for such a small place. Was here last week as well where I had the Porke bowl (again) which was good. My partner had the chicken Pho which was ok but only had two different veggies in it and the portion was huge (I see that as a negative). Today I had the special of the day which was brisket fried rice - supposed to have Thai basil on (which I love) but they just ran out so I only got scallions. It was pretty good with very crispy brisket and somewhat oily rice (kinda has to be when you fry it though) but unfortunately it was too salty. I always find it such a shame when things are too salty.... My friends were all very happy with their meals. Certainly a good spot but just not quite there for a 5/5 read more

TLDR: place would fit right in at Portland And I mean that with the highest praise possible. This restaurant would easily thrive in Portlands incredible restaurant culture. The co owners are a husband and wife combo with the husband chef hailing from Virginia who moved Maine so they could be closer to his wife's family. Give the key to the city to the wife's family this place is good. Portions are very large. Two people could probably split the fried fish sandwich. Also I've never had a fried fish this good anywhere else in New England. Service was a little slow during the lunch rush hour on a Saturday which is understandable but the food makes up for it! Oh and last thing - we had the Thai iced tea and Vietnamese coffee which were both excellent. read more

Such a cute spot for dinner. My favorite items are the hot noodz and banh mi. The French fries are also great with the garlic sauce. Highly recommend for a dinner. Indoors is kinda small with limited seating. Staff is extremely friendly! read more

The ramen was tasteless and terrible! Yuck! The server recommended it to be the best thing on the menu! Wrong!

Stopped for lunch. Food was amazing. I had the porke bowl which was delicious. The freshness of the ingredients added to the amazing flavors. My husband had the ramen. It was also excellent. A perfect find! read more

The Salmon Nugz and Pork Bowl were amazing! Their fish sando was also really good. I will definitely come back again.

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. read more

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? read more

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! read more

Yea idk what to say really. It was all so good. I thought it was just the edibles talking after a 8 hour ski day on zero food. So i went back. Stunner twice in a row. I guess bread on one sammch fell apart quickly but idgaf it was so good. NEXT! read more

What an incredible find, first time visiting Bethel and my cousin Scott took my wife and I here for dinner. OMG, I'd eat here every day it was so good. We live in N CA and nothing like this in the Sacramento area. It was so good! The manager, Jesse, is a gem, we had a great conversation with her after dinner and were amazed at her adventures with her family. We will be back at least one more time before heading home. Highest recommendation for Le Mu read more

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! read more

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. read more

We arrived and they were closed up tight! Not even sure they are in business any longer. Wish businesses would update their hours or if they closed permanently to save customers unnecessary trips. Tried calling several times but no one picked up but that isn't always a sure bet they are closed. read more

This is our second time here. We love Le Mu. We would come much more often if it were not an.hour away. I had the spicy Noodz with pork and my husband had the tofu Bahn mi. Both were excellent! read more

Pricey but very good food. Excellent barn mi sandwiches. Almost alarmingly large fried fish sandwich. Fun atmosphere.

The food here is sooo good. I went with 3 others and we all loved our meals and can't wait to go back. The service was also very good and it was cute in there. It is pretty small, so you may want to get there early or be ready to put your name in and have a bit of a wait. read more

So vibrant in so many ways! Love the open concept kitchen, it's sun to watch the meals being made. We stopped in for lunch and over ordered because there were so many dishes we wanted to try. We opted for the root veggies, shrimp and grits and the special of the day, a curried rice. Not pictured were also our Thai iced teas and a vermouth on the rocks. The food is flavorful and well garnished. The staff is so friendly and attentive. And I was curious about the sauces they had for the other dishes, and they sent us home with a couple small to gos of aioli. Can't wait to come back! read more

Went there on Wednesday night when I arrived in Bethel. Best choice I made, food was amazing along with service. Tried to go back the next night, but closed due to a snowstorm. This will be my goto place when spending time in Bethel read more

A Dirty Thai to start things off, then Hot Noodz, a Crab Rangoon Grilled Cheese and bowl of Tomato, Fennel and Red Curry Bisque.

I read the reviews and I came looking for the basic batch chicken but they changed the menu! (sigh). The server was working with me to try to change the Angry Rooster so I could get my fried chicken. Discouraged, I ordered the Crispy Pork Belly. The look in her face told me I made the right decision. It was marvelous! The pork was crispy AND tender. The photo looks small but I couldn't finish the whole thing! read more

I went to this restaurant with my husband and my daughter. The food was amazing... one of the best I have had in a while. Perfect portions and very tasty. We ordered the Brussels sprouts for an appetizer and they were so good, crunchy and spicy. I ordered the pork bowl and I can't remember what my husband had but he loved it. The pork bowl looked small but when I ate it realized that it was filling and the size is perfect. The service was excellent. Definitely I will be back next time we visit. read more

The food was prepared before our eyes since we were sitting at the bar. The Nooz with pork was very flavorful but slightly salty and the fried chicken on the biscuit was also so flavorful but salty. The biscuit was superb as were the fries. Loved the upbeat ambience of the restaurant and the service was good, especially by the person preparing the food. The restaurant was so busy that it took a little while for our sandwich to be delivered so that the fries were no longer piping hot. Overall an excellent experience. read more

Very good food. Not like anything we have ever eaten but boy was it worth it. Would definitely go back again.

In town for a few hours, decided to try this place for lunch. Last time I was here, after round of golf at Sunday River, it was more of a coffee and sandwich shop and very good. New name and owners and incredible menu. Drinks menu also impressive, but this was a work trip so no alcohol this time. I tried the pork bahn mi sandwich and fries. So good. Fresh baguette, flavorful tender meat topped with lots of daikon and other fresh veggies. Fries were some of best I've ever had. Like hand cut McDonalds fries that are cooked to perfection. Portions were perfect. Also had homemade limeade. Delicious. Very friendly service. Open kitchen so you can watch the chefs in action. Apparently it started as a food truck. So good. Will be back! read more

This was by far the weirdest experience ever. Food was fantastic but customer service made me never want to come back. My friend and I came in tonight to order a fairly large takeout order. We were very open about being willing to wait. The manager (????) was incredible rude, stressed out, and aggressive. The rest of the staff was friendly and accommodating. The entire experience was very off putting. If youre from out of town, maybe don't come here because they seem to not like non locals. read more

This is my favorite place to eat in the area. Highly recommended. The staff is always very friendly when we are in town we eat here probably three or four times a week. read more

We had a bad experience here. We could not find parking so had to park far away. When we checked in they took our number and told us it would be 20 minutes but we could not wait inside. They suggested that we wait in our car, which was not feasible due to having to park far away. They said it was due to fire code, but half of the tables were empty. I suggest adding some heaters outside if they are going to make people wait outside in the winter. They even made a woman with her two kids wait outside. If they took reservations, I can understand, but if they do I could not find a link on their website. So, I have no idea what their food is like because we left. read more

Great food, service, diverse menu and great drinks. Love the pho. Also a nice selection of beer and wine.

We were lucky to find this wonderful eatery during our fall trip through NH and ME. The eatery has limited space but the host was kind to help us get in pretty quickly on a busy day. The items they serve are very unique and everything we ate was very delicious. I seldom follow restaurant pages on Facebook but I follow Le Mu Eats because of how unique their dishes are. I see them being sold in Maine, I look for them down here in the south . The place is a perfect example of small town eatery with friendly faces. I loved the concept of seeing my food being cooked right in front of my eyes while we enjoyed our lunch on the bar stools. One restroom does cause an occasional line, so lighten up quickly when you don't see a line read more

OMG. They just reopened yesterday with a limited menu. So good. Cocktails were good, not great, but different and fun. The food was AMAZING, even limited menu had a great variety. Our party of two split three apps then shared the Angry Rooster. Each dish was better than the next. Unique, flavorful, with a touch of the exotic and majorly delicious. Staff was great, terrific recommendations they steered us well. Calling friends now to plan our next visit! read more

Excellent food, slightly unusual flavors which is great. Fun atmosphere and friendly quick efficient service.

Hands down the best food in Bethel, or rather in all of Maine! I've been coming here for years back when they were a food truck, and I'm thrilled that they now have a dine in location. The space is beautiful, the staff is so friendly, but most importantly the food is so creative, flavorful, and DELICIOUS! They also have awesome cocktails. I'd give it 100 stars if I could - all or my family and friends love it too. Definitely try out their specials! I can't say a favorite because I like everything on the menu. read more

Le Mu is now our favorite weekly spot in Bethel. Everything on the menu is incredibly delicious. Not pictured is the whole chicken our group shared last week, (SO good). And all of the mixed drinks: alcoholic and non-alcoholic, like my favorite, the limeade. Sunday brunch is all day and a different menu where I enjoyed the Bahn Mi sandwich with sausage. Five stars of YUM read more

It may not be fair to give an opinion on the first day the restaurant opens, but you would expect that on this festive day there will be special attention to the food served. The restaurant opened on a site located on Bethel's main commercial street, in place of a popular, high-quality confectionery that has closed. We ordered 3 servings to take - chicken sandwich, tofu sandwich and diced potato cubes. The sandwiches were reasonable but bland. The potato cubes were over baked, with a taste of those that were protected long in advance. They were combined with pineapple cubes and chilli sauce. The dish was strange. According to the publication, the restaurant opened today. It is not clear to me how it received any reviews several months ago. read more
