Bangor fusion restaurant closes
A restaurant that has been a fixture of downtown Bangor for nearly 18 years has closed.
The Bangor Daily News reported that Thistle’s Restaurant, which serves Latin American and European fusion food, has closed due to the retirement of its co-owner and chef.
“My father has decided to retire, and so we have closed. He’s been a chef for 30 years and this is a well-deserved retirement,” Santiago Rave, son of co-owners Alejandro and Maria Rave, told the BDN.
When it opened in 1999, Thistle’s stood out as one of just two fine dining restaurants downtown.
Its closing is the latest change in Bangor’s restaurant scene, which has seen the recent sale of downtown Giacomo's and the firing up in September of a hibachi-style restaurant at Stillwater Crossing.
