Veteran Chef To Open Downtown Lunch Spot In Former Cafe Space

KENNEBUNK, Maine — A new eatery is slated to open in the downtown Kennebunk space that was formerly Perfecto’s Caffe, which has sat vacant for more than a year. Christian’s Cafe and Eatery, on track to open in late February, received license approval from the Board of Selectmen Tuesday. A chef with 30 years of experience, John Dimitriou, owner of Christian’s Cafe and Eatery, said he will offer homemade bagels, soups, paninis and salads in the Main Street space. “Everything will be fresh and homemade,” Dimitriou said in a telephone interview. Perfecto’s Caffe, which abruptly closed in September 2017, left a void for breakfast fare in downtown Kennebunk.
