Cafe Loren opened in 1978 as Avalon’s first fine dining BYOB restaurant. Tucked away in the town’s quaint downtown area, we have happily and consistantly maintained a standard of upscale service, paired with a balance of seashore elegance, and original American coastal flavors.
“The service is as warm as ever, and the old-school dishes (like veal Loren with crabmeat and shrimp in a garlic-thyme sauce) remain flawlessly executed. As Shore restaurants continue to grow more unceremonious and boisterous, this BYO is the ideal spot for a grown-up dinner experience.”

“Excellent food! It was the best roast duck I’ve had. Our go-to spot for a special night out. Everything from the appetizers to dessert was perfectly done. A wonderful and memorable dining experience.”

“When you think of contemporary, gourmet cuisine in South Jersey, Cape May is probably the first place that comes to mind. Experience dinner at Cafe Loren, and you will think about Avalon instead.”
