Enjoy Dining in Saint Augustine, Florida

Founded by Pedro Menendez de Aviles in 1565, St. Augustine, Florida, is the oldest city in the United States. Located on Matanzas Bay and a stone's throw from the Atlantic Ocean, St. Augustine is a tourist haven, with visitors coming from all over the world to visit Castillo de San Marcos, Potter's Wax Museum, Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum, the Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche, and Flagler College.

St. Augustine also has a number of really special restaurants and eateries that deserve special attention when visiting the city. The Spanish Bakery is located not far from Castillo de San Marcos on St. George Street. Just follow the rich aroma of baking bread. Afterward, stop by the nearby Whetstone's chocolate shop for a snack to take home.

Dinner in St. Augustine is truly a culinary experience. For casual dining and exquisite seafood, find Salt Water Cowboy's on St. Augustine Beach. Columbia is located in downtown on St. George Street, and offers superb Spanish and Latin dishes in a gorgeous setting. Scarlett O'Hara's, near Flagler College, is a haven for the after-work crowd with drink specials and live music.

For a truly local experience, head out to the southern end of St. Augustine Beach and try the Oasis. It's located almost on the beach and offers up an eclectic seafood and sandwich menu with excellent lunch and dinner specials. They also serve the coldest beer in St. Augustine, which during the summer is a factor that merits consideration as temperatures hover in the low 90s.

Of course, there are many other fine restaurants and eateries in St. Augustine that you should try. For elegant dining, I recommend the Chart House overlooking Matanzas Bay. For boiled shrimp, beer, and Buffett tunes, the Milltop Tavern is the place, with an awesome view of the fort, downtown, and Matanzas Bay.

Choosing a good place to eat in St. Augustine is not difficult, as I frequently visit the city and have tried just about all of them with no complaints. The people are friendly and the locals accommodating, which makes this little city on the bay one of my favorite spots to unwind and relax after a hard quarter or two of graduate school. I just hope they have an opening at Flagler College soon so I can teach there!
