The Blue Pig Tavern

Cape May's original tavern in the 1700's is now the restaurant for Congress Hall. The Blue Pig Tavern stays close to its colonial roots by serving homey American favorites in two separate dining areas.

Choose either a a cozy tavern room or an open, airy dining room with comfortable banquettes. Both serve the restaurant’s signature American fare – nostalgic, simple and fresh – featuring local seafood and produce. Daily blue plate specials run the gamut from roast leg of lamb to old fashioned meat loaf.

Don't miss lunch with its fun variety of sandwich selections - how about a roasted turkey club, with stuffing? Or a Congressional Cristo?
