The Colony Café

We are in the middle of the very significant and active archeological dig at the Colony of Avalon. The Colony Café, believe it or not, used to be an old fish plant. During renovations, so many inquiries were made about a place to eat that we built a café instead.

The idea was to build a simple coffee shop where visitors to the archeological site could enjoy a coffee and a muffin. Soon, we discovered that the simple coffee shop had to expand. The café was started in July 1997 with only 28 seats; now the full fledged restaurant has seating for about 60.

Our specialty is seafood. In fact, we are becoming quite famous for it. Visitors from as far away as Germany have returned to our restaurant. Our fish is always fresh and our service is always friendly. We like visitors and we treat them royally.

Walk where Lord and Lady Baltimore walked, see what they saw, and eat where they may very well have eaten. See our murals by Nationally Renown artist Stewart Montgomerie. View as you eat and learn about the early days of Avalon. See paintings of The Dove and The Ark, ships owned by the Baltimore family along with beautiful representations of the Lord and Lady themselves.

Watch from our dining room windows the excavations taking place at the Colony of Avalon archaeology site as they unearth the remains of the 17th century British Settlement founded by Lord Baltimore in 1621.
