Peter Shields Inn & Restaurant
Known For
Veranda brunch inside Cape May's most architecturally striking inn
Peter Shields Inn wraps its brunch in Georgian Revival grandeur — floral decor, sweeping outdoor seating on the veranda, and garden vibes that feel more English countryside than Jersey Shore. Every inch of this place is instagrammable without a filter.
🕐Best time to visit: October weekends when the gardens hit peak color
Our Take
Peter Shields Inn wraps a 4.7-rated brunch inside a historic inn setting with floral-draped garden seating and genuinely photogenic interiors that feel like a weekend-away reward. It lands at the top of its tier — one of Cape May's more polished brunch experiences — but just misses the destination-gem threshold by a hair.
