Colerain's Seagull Cafe

The famous Colerain "Seagull Cafe" has opened in the fall for the second year in a row. This new tradition has proven very popular with both local regulars and the many long time visitors from outside our area.

The Seagull will be open every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 11:00 AM until 2:00 PM for lunchtime from now until November 18th. They will open again next year as is traditional on the first Wednesday of March 2006.

My Favorite Dishes, Shrimp and Oysters (Really Special This Year)

The view from the Seagull shows the Chowan River at its best. The small Cafe is located by the river near the end of River Road, close to the Colerain Beach Club.

The food is unique and I highly recommend it. The menu includes North Carolina Oysters, which due to Hurricane Katrina are hard to come by. There are no Oysters from the gulf this year, but the Seagull has made arrangements to get the best North Carolina Oysters available.



The Seagull Is Not Open For Sunrise, But The View Then Is Also Spectacular!

The menu also includes white perch, prepared incredibly, and the most delicious shrimp you will ever taste. The cooks are simply the best.

The crowd, as usual filled with regulars, is also as usual large and enthusiastic.
