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.

The Peacock Inn

The Peacock Inn, an iconic Princeton landmark under new ownership, is the only boutique hotel and fine dining restaurant in the heart of downtown Princeton and just walking distance to Princeton University. In operation since 1911, The Peacock Inn is a renovated 18th century colonial mansion with a storied history as a gathering place for great minds, including Albert Einstein and F. Scott Fitzgerald. The fine dining restaurant has an extensive, well-curated wine list and a sparkling champagne bar that received a Zagat rating of 26 for food, ambiance and service, and a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence three years in a row. New menus feature what Executive Chef Mark Valenza calls, "American mosaic cooking", with fresh, seasonal ingredients including locally-farmed produce and aquaculture. The Peacock Inn Restaurant is open 7 days a week and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. This fall, tea time will finally come to Princeton with dedicated Afternoon Tea seatings.
