A Boutique Culinary Escape in Cape May Court House
Nestled in the heart of historic Cape May Court House within the charming walls of the former local cobbler’s shop, Petunia serves vibrant New American flavors infused with Italian, European, and contemporary influences.
A top choice for a romantic date after a day of exploring nearby coastal towns of Stone Harbor and Avalon, or a meal out with friends after visiting the Cape May County Park & Zoo. Guests can enjoy a versatile dining experience, ranging from a quick delicatessen-style lunch and luxurious afternoon tea to an intimate, cozy dinner.
Whether you choose indoor dining surrounded by lush greenery and the building’s original 1910 brickwork or you choose outdoor dining in the fresh air of our scenic garden patio, Petunia provides an atmosphere as inviting as the menu for locals and visitors seeking the best restaurants in Cape May County.
Step into a timeless tradition that feels worlds away, yet sits right in the heart of Cape May Court House. Teatime at Petunia is more than just a meal; it is an energetic revival of an English classic, reimagined through our lens. Whether you are looking for the full tradition or a quick break, we have a tea experience for you.
