Where Every Meal Comes with a Story

The city's historic district contains centuries-old Spanish Colonial, British Colonial, and Gilded Age architecture. Many restaurants occupy restored homes, former hotels, inns, merchant buildings, and historic landmarks.

In most cities, dinner is simply a meal. In St. Augustine, it can be a journey through 460 years of history. From former grand hotels and historic inns to hidden courtyards and centuries-old streets, dining here is as much about the setting as it is the food. Pair dinner with a ghost tour, carriage ride, or evening stroll along Saint George Street.
