The Café Loren was opened in 1978 as Avalon’s first fine dining BYOB. Nestled around the Avalon Freeze, Avalon’s 1950’s landmark ice cream stand, we have maintained an atmosphere of seashore elegance with a friendly and professional staff for 30 years.

For three decades we have strived to provide superb continental cuisine with an emphasis on creatively prepared seafood. Seafood items now comprise so much of our menu that we seem obliged to redefine our venue as “Coastal Cuisine”. Chef/Owner Stephen Serano has added even more to our menu in that direction for 2009 while not forsaking the meat lovers! Signature veal, lamb, pork and beef dishes remain strong favorites. Creative additions and house made desserts are also offered daily.

Everyone seems to know someone at the Café Loren. Patty and Mark want you to be one of the regulars who make the Café Loren a must each summer!

Attire is "dressy-casual". Men should wear a collared shirt. Shorts are acceptable.
