Princeton Breakfast

Cargot Brasserie

Cargot brasserie is a French inspired restaurant designed to be vibrant, while also being familiar and relaxed. Offering breakfast, lunch, dinner and brunch, it combines classic dishes with contemporary interpretations in several distinct dining spaces. Everyday or special occasions will be accommodated in our café room, dining room, private room or outdoor patio.

The name Cargot honors the fact that the building was used as the cargo hold for the train station, while playfully referencing the iconic French dish (escargot). The 100-year old stone building was restored and expanded in 2017. McCarter Theatre Center for the Performing Arts is conveniently located across the street.

Whether enjoying your morning meal and a paper in the café, meeting an associate for lunch, or joining friends for a celebration or preshow meal, Cargot is a welcoming gathering place for the Princeton community.
