Restaurant Review

Freda's Cafe is a small, 12 table, eclectic restaurant offering a cosmopolitan alternative to the Victorian surroundings of Cape May.

Chef Steve Howard and his wife, pastry chef Carol Howard, both from the Plaza Hotel in New York, present artfully prepared food that tastes as wonderful as it looks.

Fresh seafood is always popular choice with gourmet sides that include a delicious portobello rice pilaf or garlic mashed potatoes.

Carol's desserts are very good. However, the bread pudding tends to be somewhat bland.

The cafe also has a takeout deli on Carpenter's Lane where you can grab a salad, wrap or sandwich to go.

They are open year round.
