Downtown Cary's All-Day Table Worth Returning To

Breakfast through dinner, seven days a week, with a seasonal menu that keeps regulars genuinely surprised.

About Us

The name says it all, really. Peck & Plume takes its cue from the farmyard and the table, landing somewhere between comfort and curiosity on every plate. Situated at 301 S Academy Street in downtown Cary, this modern American restaurant fills its dining room, bar, terrace, and lawn with guests who came for brunch and stayed for the conversation.

What keeps people coming back, according to more than a thousand reviews, is the kitchen's commitment to rotating the menu around what's actually in season. One visit the vegetarian options shine with summer produce; the next, a braised dish anchors the winter lineup. The chicken and waffles have earned their own reputation for anniversary brunches and first-date Saturday mornings alike.

The building itself offers something for every mood: a quiet study for a working lunch, a buzzing bar for happy hour, a candlelit dining room for a proper dinner, and an open terrace when the Carolina weather cooperates. New residents to the Triangle consistently land here and wonder why they waited.

What We Offer

Peck & Plume serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner Monday through Sunday, which means whether you need a 7 a.m. weekday coffee and eggs or a leisurely Friday night dinner that stretches to 10 p.m., there's a seat here for you. Reservations are available and recommended, especially for weekend brunch when the terrace fills fast.

The restaurant's private dining and event space makes it a natural choice for milestone celebrations, corporate gatherings, and rehearsal dinners. The team handles the details so hosts can actually enjoy the occasion. Gift cards are also on offer, a genuinely useful option when you want to give someone a great meal without guessing their schedule.

"We’re new to the area and have been exploring a lot of restaurants, and Peck & Plume is easily one of our favorites. The food, drinks, dessert were excellent, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was outstanding. Our waiter, Jacob, was fantastic. He knew the menu and drinks inside and out, made great recommendations, and was genuinely friendly. We loved sitting in the library, and the outdoor space is beautiful too. The location is perfect, with parks and plenty to do nearby, so it’s easy to make an afternoon or evening of it. Jacob also told us about their bourbon and wine tastings, and we can’t wait to come back for one. 10/10. Highly recommend."

"Every time I have been here the food is super fresh, different (rotating based on seasonal produce availability), unique and absolutely delicious - I especially appreciate the multiple vegetarian options! The atmosphere is beautiful as well, perfect for a romantic date night. The interior is very vintage elegant and the exterior seating has a beautiful view of the downtown park, along with heat lamps and a retractable screen for the colder months. Can't say enough good things about this place!"

"Unforgettable experience! Server, Rachel P., was so knowledgeable about the menu and truly went out of her way to make sure I had the best dining experience and stay at The Mayton Inn. Clair was our talented server one evening in the library. She was wonderful and made our experience very special. Savannah took care of my whole family for dinner one night and she made it a perfect experience. Jacob was so welcoming and fun behind the bar and made us drinks with presence and flair (pictured). The food was so delicious so I must say, "Compliments to The Chef!" Everything they brought out was a delicacy, true talent there. I especially loved the Cobia Cruda, corn bread, beef tartare, burger and chickpea socca. Also, big shout out to Russel, Thomas and Paul for helping me during my stay. They were kind, generous and accommodating. This is my favorite place to stay and to dine when I am visiting Cary and Raleigh. I can't wait to come back!"
