For the foodies:

If you have someone special in your life—a significant other, best friend, or cherished family member—who thrives on exploring new culinary delights, possesses an adventurous palate, and eagerly seeks out new dining experiences, then you're in for a treat, our restaurant gift card is the perfect!! 

How to get it? Just enter our website www.chezrosabistro.com and click on gift cards, you’ll be directed to our gift card provider (toasttab) where you can select exactly which amount you’d like the card to be, you can personalize it with a cute message and send it directly to their phone number or email to have it on digital and ready whenever they want to use it! If you prefer to go old school and have a physical card you are always welcome to stop by Wednesday through Sunday 12 pm to 11 pm.

Bring your date over to Chez Rosa and enjoy a laid-back dinner with a glass of wine or a freshly made cocktail by our bartenders, Julia & David.

For the dessert lovers:

Now, let's give a big shoutout to some of our fantastic local neighbors, perfect for date ideas or gifts! If you've got a sweet tooth, you'll love Rococo’s dessert bar. 

They opened this fall and if you haven’t visited, you must! They've got an amazing variety of daring flavors of ice cream and many interesting dessert options. The decor will make you feel in a chic cafe in France! It's a wonderful place to share with a loved one. 

You'll find them at 8 western Ave, Kennebunk, ME 04043, United States.

For the wine enthusiasts:

If you fancy a glass of wine at our restaurant, but are considering a cozy one-on-one date at home, we recommend visiting Maine & Vine. There, you can choose a nice bottle of wine from their impressive variety. Whether you prefer red, white, rosé, or sparkling, they've got the perfect option for you to choose from! They are always super helpful guiding you if you are not sure where to start!

For the tourist souls:

If you enjoy having a nice view around town, the in town trolley is a great choice. While you have a mini-trip around Kennebunkport you can enjoy connecting with the person to whom you’ll be giving out this original and different gift experience. It’s intimate, interactive, while having beautiful sights in front of you and definitely a cute time to remember for the second date. ;)
