Primo in Rockland, Maine. All fresh local materials. The chief and co-owner (maybe complete owner) is a James Beard award winner and trained at Chez Panisse early in her career. The baker, and I think other co-owner trained at Acme Bakery in Berkeley when he was young. Really, really good place.

Another, in the UK, is Gidleigh Park in Devon. Michelin two star last I checked. Some have said the only reason it isnt 3 star is that it is too casual. In a largish B&B but serves dinner to others. Stunning local food. Both are comparable to high end restaurants in NY or Paris. Primo is a real bargain because of location. Gidleigh Park not so for Americans because of the currency exchange rate.
