Here is one of the best list’s of restaurants on the Cape. We have organized them by towns and then by food type within each town.

This list is by no means comprehensive.  The Cape is loaded with restaurants, most of them very good.  We have divided the restaurants into loose categories; hopefully it is easier to sift through the options.  If your favorite establishment isn’t in here, let us know, so we can enlighten ourselves and other guests. We’ve provided a link (either to the restaurants website or a link on yelp) and the phone number.
