Lewes - Historic District Restaurants

Agave Mexican Restaurant
137 Second Street

Large selection of tequilas and truly amazing, authentic food. Get there early - it fills up fast, especially in the summer. This little place gets rave reviews from our group for both lunch and dinner.

The Buttery

CakeBar
115 Second Street
302-645-2253
Where you can have your cake...and eat some crab dip, macaroni and cheese, gourmet grilled cheese, and a variety of other delights, too!

Half Full
113 Market Street (directly behind King's Ice Cream)
302-645-8877
Handmade pizza, and as you might guess from the name, a great selection of wines by the glass. (They serve beer, too.) Now this place is really tiny - there are maybe five tables - BUT the pizza is excellent, wine choices are thoughtful, and the vibe is laid back and cozy. Pull up a barstool on the front porch and get the best seat in town! Top it all off with a brownie and you'll definitely see your glass as half full...

Kindle
