Savor More Than 450 Years
of Culinary Tradition
On Florida’s Historic Coast, sightseeing is
just a way to pass the time between meals.
The food here is inspired by centuries of the
diverse heritage of the peoples who make
up St. Augustine’s 450 plus years of history—
Spanish, British, French, Greek, Irish
and Minorcans.
You’ll fi nd an abundance of fresh seafood
and produce from local farms in Hastings and
Elkton that are served at the tables of eclectic
bistros, fi ne dining, sidewalk cafes, oceanfront
restaurants, old Florida riverfront hideaways
and quaint farm-to-fork eateries.
St. Augustine. Florida’s Historic Coast is where
your next delicious culinary adventure awaits.
