40 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Cape May

“Great Food and Awesome Location. Love it!“

“We dined on Friday, 10.31.25 supporting the Cape May Restaurant Weekend. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her Red Snapper Alla Plancha that was impeccably simmered in a tomato-saffron cream sauce along with the delectable additions of mussels, rock shrimp, creamer potatoes and confit fennel. I had the wonderful opportunity to sample the Grilled Duroc Pork Chop with aged gouda potato purée, ginger glazed vegetables, sherry wine cream sauce and seasonal mostarda that was done to absolute perfection. I haven't cleaned my plate like that for years! My wife echoed that it was one of the top three dinners that we have ever had as a couple....Our service was second to none from the expediters, bussers and our very warm and personable server, Anna, who just added to the overall dining experience. A five star event for sure!“

“We love James at the front of the house and the super talented chefs - such a unique and fun experience. Three of us had the vegetarian tasting menu and it was amazing! I wish there were more restaurants like this! Thank you!“

“Always go when in Cape May…fabulous food“

“I have used Lucky Bones’s Eric three times in the last five years for catering parties at my home/in my yard. Twice I also booked waitresses with my party. The food is always delicious, the service reliable. We ran out of chicken tenders for the kids once and they brought over a new batch! Everything is set up as ordered and arrives on time. You can’t go wrong with them for your party. My father’s small after-funeral reception was in their back room and my husband and I eat at the restaurant at least once a month. Highly recommend.“

“Superb craft cocktails made from on-site distilled, farm-to-bottle spirits. Whiskey, bourbon, gin, rum and vodka. Chill, relaxed atmosphere on a preserved farm craft distillery.“

“This is our favorite place for breakfast!“

“Food and service fabulous!“

“Been Going for more than 25 years“

“Servers were very nice! It’s byob and surprisingly good for dinner! Only a surprise because I’ve always been gor breakfast.“

“Always good!!They do a great job!! The best!!“

“Yesterday we went to Cape May Winery with a bachelorette party group. We had a great experience from booking, too ordering our wine and enjoying our time in the lower cellar room. Special shout out to the amazing table of guests next to us that included 3 married couples that each had been married for over 25 years. They stopped at our table to give our bride-to-be some amazing wedding and successful marriage advice. It was a really special visit and I am so glad we chose to come here! 💜“

“the calzones are fantastic!!“

“Five star food and five star service, very cozy and offer outside seating. One of Cape May's premier restaurant.“

“EXCELLENT FROM SOUP TO NUTS !!!!“

“Hands down one of the best meals and dining experiences my wife and I have ever had. Everything about The Ebbit Room was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish.

We started with the octopus and the carpaccio—the carpaccio was honestly the best I’ve ever had. For dinner, my wife had the lamb, perfectly cooked, and April recommended the John Dory, which was prepared immaculately.

The flavor profiles were incredible, each dish beautifully presented, and every course, from appetizers to dinner to dessert, was thoughtfully crafted and tasted amazing.

An unforgettable experience all around.“

“Great food and a beautiful setting to enjoy it!!!“

“The outdoor area is beautiful. I really like that there are old recipes and styles that you don't see at a lot of places. There is always something interesting on tap. The history buff in me is a big fan. Their house made sasparilla is great for anyone who doesn't want beer, my wife and stepson really enjoy it.“

“Great food and the best coffee made by Chis. Can’t wait to come back and visit“

“We’ve been waiting a long time to try this “hidden gem” although it’s not so hidden anymore as Philly Inky’s Craig Laban named it one of 20 places for seafood down the Jersey Shore this month. My wife had the famous scallops and thought they were delicious, reminded her of classic, fresh taste of the shore scallops from youth. My burger was good. Fries were tasty. Drinks were proper. Service was attentive. The scallops alone are reason to return.“

“Fresh and interesting menu. Everything we had was perfect. Smoked salmon and noodle aps were both great starters to share. Scallops, crab cakes, swordfish entrees were delicious. The desserts were lovely and generous portions. Not surprised to hear that this is a perennial favorite for many regulars.“

“Freshly made, quality food. Fried oysters were huge and cooked to perfection. Great choice!“

“Staying in Cape May for 5 weeks had my first cheese steak & I picked up a good one had it tonite ( 7/7/2025 being a Philly guy I know my steaks very good I highly recommend their sandwiches.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“My husband and I come to Cape May every year for our anniversary we have our favorite places that we love to visit this was our first visit to Pacino's bistro and we went back the night after to pick up again!!! The food was phenomenal and the wait staff were very hard working and friendly!!! I am server myself and this not an easy job but they were excellent. The ambiance in restaurant made the experience that much better. Cannot say enough good things about this establishment!“

“If you can’t decide if you want Mexican food or lots of seafood like you would expect from a shore town restaurant, eat at 5 De Mayo. You can get both. Great salsa. Good scallops and shrimp. Great fajitas. Great enchiladas.“

“awesome definitely will be back!“

“Great food, great time, and great service! Shannon is an awesome hostess. Definitely will be coming back!“

“If you’re looking for Cape May’s hottest subterranean hotspot, look no further than The Boiler Room. This place has everything: wood-fired pizza, Caesar salads that slap, neon lights, exposed brick, and a sound system that’ll knock your Birkenstocks off. And the staff? Honey. First, let’s talk about Matt, the food and beverage manager. He’s like the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain, pulling levers of flavor and hospitality. Ever had a martini that made you cry from joy? You will. Now add Johnny and Kyle behind the bar—Cape May’s dynamic duo. They pour, they shake, they stir, and they SERVE. Watching them in action is like seeing a choreographed dance, except everyone gets a drink at the end. Now let’s get into the pizza. This pizza? This pizza is like if Naples and Brooklyn had a baby that went to culinary school in Rome. It’s crispy, chewy, saucy perfection. And don’t even get me started on the Caesar salad—it’s crunchy, briny, creamy, and anchovy-whispered. I’d write it a love letter and send it first class. But that’s not all. When the sun goes down, this place transforms. The Boiler Room becomes an underground concert hall of dreams. The live bands? They funk, boogie, and rock ‘n’ roll like it’s their job (because it is). Think Parliament meets Tom Petty in a dance-off judged by Prince. They groove party anthems and timeless classics that’ll have you screaming, “This is MY SONG!” while you dance like it’s 1999. The Boiler Room has everything: brick oven dreams, Caesar epiphanies, killer cocktails, craft beers, sultry lighting, beautiful people, bar legends, and music that hits like a vintage disco ball to the soul. So if you’re in Cape May and you’re not at the Boiler Room, what are you even doing with your life? Sent from my iPhone“

“Always a great experience awesome bartenders and food“

“Terrific food. And when we had a little problem with our table Manager Jackie went above and beyond to make it more than right. She did this with grace and professionalism. We’ll be back.“

“Our first time at Secondo, but it won’t be our last. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. The bar area was fun. Such a hidden gem!!! Looking forward to returning soon.“

“We celebrated our 53rd anniversary there tonight. They could not have been nicer to us. They treated us to a very special evening. Balloons at the table and complimentary champagne. They also treated us to a dessert of our choice. The food was delicious. I think we found our new favorite restaurant.“

“I went for lunch and dinner on Sunday. Billy and Irina were the servers. They were so nice and attentive. I will definitely go back my next trip.“

“I will come back because I like the place but I just want to say that is has downgraded over the renovation.“

“Quick service and great fresh food.“

“Went Ocean Club for our anniversary on Dec 12 2025. Next morning decided to try Sea salt as it was right there. Pleasant surprise! Mine the crab omelet with side of hash... shockingly good! Hers the smoked salmon omelet. Again: VG!
So if you are reading this then we give 2 thumbs up.“

“Great casual restaurant at the beach. Nice view, good food and friendly efficient servers. Don't forget your wallet, as cash only, but there they do have an ATM.“

“We enjoyed this local spot for breakfast. Love that it’s so close to the spot we camp. Came for the first time & definitely will be back to try more of their menu.“

“My husband and I come down every summer...you are always our first stop when we hit town. Absolutely love your food and atmosphere! Nick took care of us and he was phenomenal! He was so kind, accommodating and truly just a great person. We stopped on our way out to let the manager Erik know how great Nick was. It wasn't just a thank you and move on...Erick, despite the place hopping took the time to ask us what we had...did we enjoy the menu...customer service all around was 150%. Highly recommend the rooftop, Crab Dip with homemade pita chips, Brisket Bites, Fish tacos and the very best Blood Orange margarita on the island!“
