Fine dining restaurant The Chametz is set to open next month in a secret location in the Western Maine mountains. Co-owner Lina Mamut said reservations are open for the first dinner at The Chametz, set for May 16. The venue offers prix fixe dinners on Fridays and Saturdays, with up to 10 guests per seating. Chef Jared Rudnick, who is also Mamut’s life partner, has cooked at Boston-area restaurants, including Craigie on Main and Journeyman. Mamut said if their dinners prove successful, they hope to buy a much larger property to operate on in western Maine — equidistant from Rangeley, Sugarloaf and Farmington — that also would offer luxury guest accommodations.
