Surfrider Foundation: Jersey Shore Chapter would like to welcome and thank Cavé Bistro in Avon for becoming our newest Ocean Friendly Restaurant!
Cavé Bistro offers a seasonal, farm-to-table gluten free menu of healthy dishes made from scratch by Chef Doug Stehle, served in an intimate, casual bistro space. They use grassfed meats, pasture-raised poultry, wild game and a variety of seafood, vegetables, fruits, nuts and produce. All foods are carefully sourced from local and regional farms, fisheries and other specialty purveyors who have the highest standards for quality and handling. Chef Doug follows the simple philosophy to eat like our ancestors did, only better!
Cavé Bistro is located at 515 Sylvania Avenue in Avon, New Jersey.
