"Cape Ann's Best Seafood Restaurant"
Reader's Choice Awards 2011
"No clam lover should pass through Cape Ann without sampling a plateful of the best soft-shells in the universe." says
Mark Bittman in his Saveur Magazine article
praising The Village Restaurant as his favorite, adding "There is something special about the clams here."

So, what's the secret? Quality & freshness. Our clams are dug right here — in Essex & Ipswich — by local clammers. We know every clammer personally and they know us. They know we only buy the sweetest, freshest, highest quality clams. It's that simple.
Plus we're easy to reach. Less than 4 miles from Rte. 128, and about 45 minutes from Boston (get directions)
in the historic town of Essex, MA, filled with antique shops and where over 4,000 schooners were built.
Come to the Village in Essex and enjoy classic New England cuisine with a contemporary
flair at afforable prices, as the Boston Globe puts it or enjoy takeout that the whole family will enjoy like BoMoms says.
