Dining

Climbing aboard a faithful re-creation of a 1607 ship and feeling the roar of an artillery firing can work up an appetite. Jamestown Settlement and the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown offer onsite casual dining choices for you to enjoy as you discover the history of early Virginia.

From hardy grilled entrees, freshly prepared sandwiches, salads, specialty drinks and grab-and-go offerings, you’re sure to find something deliciously satisfying. Gluten free and vegetarian options are available.

Both the Jamestown Café and 1781 Café by Aromas have cozy, family-friendly indoor dining areas as well as outdoor spaces. They are open during museum hours and can accommodate intimate gatherings and larger groups.

School groups and tours can order pre-made meals for their visit to either museum.
