Baltimore Peninsula is one of Baltimore’s newest neighborhoods, located just south of the Inner Harbor and near Locust Point. The area has undergone major redevelopment in recent years, bringing new parks, offices, entertainment spaces, and restaurants to the waterfront.
The dining scene in Baltimore Peninsula focuses on scenic harbor views and relaxed waterfront dining. From seafood restaurants serving Maryland crab cakes to stylish taverns and cafés, the neighborhood is becoming an increasingly popular place to eat and drink while enjoying the harbor.
Below are some of my favorite restaurants and cafés in Baltimore Peninsula.
