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.

    We really enjoyed having lunch and breakfast at The Blue Pig Tavern. The chicken BLT was delicious. The French toast and American Breakfast were great . We will make sure to stop here every time we are in Cape May.

    This is one of our favorite places to dine in Cape May. Jared waited on us this summer and we had him again this time. He’s attentive and pleasant! And he never gets flustered

    Always a terrific experience at The Blue Pig! Noise level is high so conversation is a bit difficult.

    We had a table of 9 people. The food came out timely, hot, and was delicious. It’s our holiday tradition and will return next year.

    I was so grateful that the Blue Pig Tavern honored my requests for seating by putting my partner and I at the table we hoped for, off in the corner of the room with the fireplace. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and warm and everyone treated us so kindly. What a special anniversary dinner. (Also, the pumpkin pie with cranberry drizzle was one of the best desserts I've ever had).
