Food Scene

Louisa's is a hidden gem, although Local’s and long-time Cape Mayers have known about it for years. This is THE place to go to have a simple and romantic dinner with some of the best and freshest fish in town. Louisa’s has a blackboard menu, and all entrees are served with short grain brown rice and a lime-dressed cabbage salad. Once you go, you may not want to eat anywhere else for the rest of your stay! It fills up fast so call ahead and make a reservation. Bonus: Eliza is a waitress here a few nights a week so you may just catch her if you stop in.

Matt and Eliza's favorite date night spot. Small, quaint place owned by an Italian gentleman and his wife. They have a full vegan menu and also serve fresh fish options. Their food is all handmade, and they use almost all local and organic ingredients.

If you are looking for something a little upscale-casual, the Black Duck is a great choice. Chef Chris Hubert has been at many notable restaurants in Cape May before finally opening the Black Duck. The roast duck is delightful as is his asian-inspired Ahi Tuna.

Ride your bike out to the far reaches of West Cape May and visit this farm tucked away off the beaten path. You can wander among the vegetable rows, meet some chickens, and on occasion get a glimpse of a piglet or two. There is a gorgeous Amish-built farmhouse where you can shop for produce, eggs, meat, and other trinkets.
