Sea Fair Restaurant
Sea Fair Restaurant is the oldest family owned restaurant and a local favorite for that special St Augustine lunch.
Mr. Anthony Hadjis, a Greek immigrant, began serving up his delicious fare to the folks around St. Augustine in 1953. His restaurant dream lives on through his children who now operate the establishment.
Everyone loves their fried shrimp, prime rib and fresh fish. Also, you might enjoy one of their homemade daily specials.
The Bunnery, located on St. George Street, serves up a tasty breakfast (served until 11:00) or lunch.
Try one of their Panini or how about a Feta-Walnut salad?
One of their l-a-r-g-e cookies is just right for dessert. Just take a peek in the window and you’ll agree.

Try the Scallops Casimiro, fresh scallops baked in a clay pot or the signature 1905 Salad which is mixed right at your table, both, delicious!
Blue Planet Co-op is a health food store– juice bar– deli all rolled into one. I love to stop in for a fresh carrot juice and a wrap as an alternative St Augustine lunch.
They feature organic local produce and a variety of other health foods. All of the items in stock are researched and hand pickedto assure you that you are purchasing only the highest quality organic foods and products.
Even though it is a co-op you don’t have to be a member to buy, although, the membership fee is quite modest.
O’Steens has been around forever and is a local institution here as a St Augustine lunch venue.
It is just a small place with a down-home atmosphere that is world-renowned for their fried shrimp.
Be prepared to wait for a table here. There is a fun antique shop next door to poke around in while you wait.
Hours: 11:00 a.m. – 8:30 p.m. Tuesday – Saturday

Schooners
Schooner’s Seafood House, as the name implies, is all about seafood; fried seafood, the way seafood should be eaten, right? You will get a generous portion cooked just right.
Fun Facts about Schooner's (from their website): The "Fountain of Youth" is actually Schooner's Minorcan Clam Chowder.
So eat up!
