Where to Eat in St. Augustine

Four hundred and sixty years of food culture, from Spanish-heritage kitchens to oceanfront seafood, packed into one of Florida’s most distinctive dining scenes.

St. Augustine’s restaurant scene runs deeper than most visitors expect from a city this size. Spanish-heritage cooking dating back to the 1700s, Minorcan datil pepper traditions, fresh local seafood from working boats out of Mayport and the Matanzas inlet, a small but serious craft cocktail and brewery scene, and a growing international wave bringing Peruvian, Argentine, and Asian flavors to the historic core. Whether you want sunset dinner on the bay or a $5 burrito between attractions, the city has the spot. Browse by category below to find what fits your night.
