Where To Eat In St. Augustine, Florida

St. Augustine Seafood Company

St. Augustine Seafood Company located in the Historic downtown area is a great stop to catch a quick bite to eat. The St. Augustine Seafood Company has a Nautical backdrop and a casual atmosphere. You will find many great fish selections all of which are American wild caught fish, many are local as they partner with the local fishermen and markets. Their fresh catch of the day is always a good choice, and there are many options for how it is prepared.
We really enjoy the Conch Fritters as well as the New England Clam Chowder, or if you like they also have a Minorcan Conch Chowder. If you are not sure which one to choose, they will serve you a ½ serving of each. If you happen to be here closer to dinner time, be sure to check out their live music offered in the Colonial Oak Music Park next door for some great nightlife entertainment.

Meehans Irish Pub And Seafood House

Looking for some Irish fare with Florida flair. Check out this restaurant for traditional Irish selections such as Shepherds Pie, Corned Beef & Cabbage, Bangers and Mash, and a family favorite which is their Fish & Chips which is Guinness Blonde Battered and fried. Be sure to also stop in their Backyard Island Café located behind the restaurant where the conch fritters are delicious, the cocktails have an island flair, and the tables have fire insets.

Café Alcazar

Café Alcazar is located in the Lightner Museum. Actually, the Café is located inside yes inside what once was the largest indoor swimming pool of the historic Alcazar Hotel was built back in 1887. It’s more of an elegant setting where you will be entertained by a Piano player as you enjoy visualizing yourself swimming in this grand pool area. They have a menu that gives you beautifully presented entrees, I recommend the Shrimp Giovanni.
But you will also see offerings of sandwiches and salads, as well as a children’s menu. It is worth the visit to walk through the shops in the surrounding courtyard and if so inclined go through the Lightner Museum for a nominal fee for an added attraction to your day. You can walk around most areas for free, but you can’t enter the Lightner Museum without paying a fee.

Ice Plant Bar

To follow along with the other historical buildings, this unique eatery dates back to 1927 when it was a functioning ice plant serving many in the area at that time. The walls throughout the bar are covered with displays of many tools from that era.
They offer imaginative cocktails and farm to table offerings that are equally unique and delicious. Since you are in the area go next door later and check out The Distillery next door that gives free tours enlightening you on the process of distilling and teaches you more history of the ice manufacturing from 1917.

Prohibition Kitchen

Our family’s favorite spot for a great burger, the PK Signature Burger does not disappoint. The kids love the German Style Pretzel that is huge and their handspun Milkshakes are fun and delicious.

Beachcomber

Now if you have enjoyed all the history that downtown St. Augustine has to offer and would like to experience the beautiful beaches, head south over the Bridge of Lions and follow the signs to The Beachcomber. One of our favorite restaurants, it’s right off the beach. The Beachcomber is very casual, if you have kids they have a large sand area they can play in while you enjoy a tropical cocktail.
They also offer great burgers, and sandwiches my favorite is The Big Fish Reuben made from the Catch of the Day. Sandwiches are large enough to share, especially if you would like to try one of their great appetizers, which include Steamed Shrimp, Gator Tail, or their house made smoked Fish Dip.
