Gift Tips
- Use a gift toward brunch or breakfast — the Chorizo Burrito and egg dishes (like Eggs Neptune) are generous and popular morning choices.
- Order the shrimp and grits or scallops carbonara to sample signature coastal flavors; many dishes are prepared for sharing if you want to try more.
- Start with the whipped goat cheese or lobster (or crab) bisque as an appetizer — both are favorites that pair well with a chilled Moscato or a creative cocktail.
- Reserve a table in advance for dinner, or plan to sit at the bar if you need more immediate seating; bar service can feel intimate and lively.
- Time a visit for sunset on the outdoor deck and consider adding a cocktail (try a fruit-forward mimosa or a seasonal specialty) to enjoy the view.

AmbienceIntimate, Romantic, Classy
Year Established2006
Cafe Pamlico is a casual fine dining restaurant located at the Inn on Pamlico Sound in Buxton, NC. Founded in 2006, it serves contemporary coastal cuisine with an emphasis on fresh local seafood and Southern hospitality.
- Ambiance: Intimate, romantic, and classy dining with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the Pamlico Sound.
- Cuisine: Contemporary coastal menu focused on locally sourced seafood, meats, and produce that changes with daily catches.
- Highlights: Open year-round with breakfast served every morning, seasonal dinner schedule, and on-site event catering at the Inn on Pamlico Sound.
The kitchen adapts its menu to whatever the chefs find fresh on the island, often featuring fish caught that same morning. Guests can expect an inspired wine and cocktail program to complement dishes prepared with local farmers and producers in mind. Breakfast is available daily, and the dinner schedule expands in peak season to accommodate visitors.
Cafe Pamlico also hosts weddings, special events, and catered gatherings at the inn. The atmosphere and waterfront location make it a popular choice for celebrations, sunset dinners, and relaxed weekend breakfasts for both lodging guests and the public.
