About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for brunch
Gather at the Blue Pig Tavern, our distinctive restaurant tucked in the corner of Congress Hall. Known for hearty breakfast, lunch and dinner favorites, its name derives from a gambling parlor sited in Congress Hall in the mid-1800s. Earlier still, in the 1700s, Elias Hughes operated a tavern for whalers on this site. It was the first tavern in Cape May. Today, we offer timeless classics and new seasonal delights with ingredients that are always farm-fresh.

    Very average experience. Service was slow, despite a nearly empty restaurant. Food was average. Nothing bad, but nothing memorable either.
