We've been going to St.Augustine at least once a year for the last 15 years. Here is a list of our favorites. South Beach Grill , Gypsy Cab Co, A1A Ale House, The Fish Market, there is a good Chinese restaurant in the same center as the Fish Market, but I don't remember the name. Manatee Cafe has great vegetarian food. Good BBQ at Bono's, Cap's, a little further down A1A is good, Harry's has good Cajun food. Columbia is wonderful, try their Sunday brunch for a real treat. Most of the restaurants are pretty good, but stay away from Marty's and Aruanna's, they are awful. If you like hot peppers, be sure to try the Datil pepper products that St. Augustine is famous for' hth, Leslie John W. wrote: > My wife and I are planning a Saturday excusion into St. Augustine, Fl > on April 6th.

St.A is our favorite getaway spot as well, and we have sorta fallen into a rut when it comes to restaurants: Beachcomber for breakfast, Sharkey's Shrimp Shack for lunch, Sharkey's Shrimp Shack for afternoon snack, A1A Aleworks for supper, Sharkey's Shrimp Shack for evening snack, last call brew at A1A Aleworks. Notice a trend? Also good is The Oasis for breakfast/lunch/meat marketing upstairs, Salt Water Cowboy's for lunch or supper, and O.C. White's for supper (pretty good live music upstairs as well). The Monk's VIneyard is really a touristy place on St. George Street, but I thought it was still a pretty decent sandwich place at lunch, at least if you are in that area (it's not worth a special trip in other words). We have heard good things about the Raintree, 95 Cordova in the Casa Monica Hotel, and La Pentola, but have no personal experience at any of these. The shaved ice truck that drives down the beach at Anathasia (sp?) State Park was unreal good on a hot afternoon, but since driving on the beach is now banned, I don't know if he still is able to do that. AVOID the Santa Maria, the White Lion and Conch House, all touristy/popular but overpriced for lame food - there are many, many other places that are so much better! The one sort of place we have always looked for but never found was a decent coffee shop - anyone know of one there?
