Blue Pig Tavern

Earlier still, in the 1700s, Elias Hughes operated a tavern for whalers on this site. It was the first tavern in Cape May.
(2509)

Whether a guest of Congress Hall, a neighboring hotel or a Cape May native, all are welcome for breakfast, lunch or dinner in the distinctive dining rooms of the Blue Pig Tavern. Tucked in the corner of Congress Hall that fronts on Congress Place and Perry Streets, its name derives from a gambling parlor sited in Congress Hall in the mid-1800s. Beloved by locals and visitors alike, there is no bet

ter place to enjoy American classics. In the warmer months, dine on our wonderful, secluded patio. In the cooler months, cozy up to our magnificent dining room fireplace. We've implemented a delicious farm-to-table menu featuring fresh produce, herbs and eggs from our very own Beach Plum Farm, located less than 2 miles from the restaurant!

A summertime staple at Blue Pig Tavern, our Lobster Roll ✨

"Our Lobster Roll captures everything we love about coastal dining. It’s light, refreshing, and full of flavor, perfectly balanced with our buttery brioche rolls. We use the freshest knuckle and claw lobster meat tossed in our house-made citrus and tarragon aioli, then garnished with fresh chives and a lemon wedge. Only available in the spring and summer, it’s the perfect lunch to enjoy on the patio at Blue Pig Tavern.” - Congress Hall Executive Chef John Zaitoun

Pair with a glass of Jordan Chardonnay and enjoy!
