Downtown, Trolley Square And The Riverfront
Le Cavalier is the planned hotel meal; Del Pez provides the Riverfront alternative; Catherine Rooney’s adds Friday brunch in Trolley Square. The listed addresses define the scope, with no Philadelphia or other Wilmington restaurants substituted.
A six-person party should compare Le Cavalier’s published group gratuity with the table’s full order. Riverfront, downtown and Trolley Square are separate destinations; choose the address before arranging transport. Parking availability and accessibility should be confirmed with the venue.

Downtown
Le Cavalier
Le Cavalier offers a French brasserie brunch inside the Hotel du Pont. It suits a planned downtown meal with a more substantial menu than a pastry stop: choose between an omelette, a Benedict and steak with eggs. Its weekend service starts earlier on Sunday than Saturday, and the published surcharge matters when comparing the bill.
