Get those taste buds ready for a new delicious experience only in Jacksonville.

Jacksonville’s food scene is an eclectic hybrid of inspired casual elegance and classic southern comfort, infused with the flavors of the coast and a dash of international flair. Life is short, eat well in Jax!

With a melting pot of cultures and a thriving culinary scene pioneered by local chefs that have been nationally and internationally trained, you will find the perfect restaurant no matter what you're craving. From elegant bistros to popular chains, fish camps and everything in between, Jacksonville is a destination for food lovers with great taste. The terms “locally sourced” and “farm to table” are more than just hype in Jacksonville. Local restaurateurs are committed to sustainable practices using local seasonal ingredients whenever possible to create delicious menus that showcase the best of Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. If you prefer a liquid meal then you need to explore local coffee shops and the Jax Ale Trail. Our city is home to 25+ unique craft breweries and it would be a shame if you came to Jax and left without going to at least one. While you're at it, add our locally caught Mayport shrimp, the famous “camel rider” and a dipped ice cream cone at the legendary Dreamette to your foodie to-do list. Explore neighborhoods like Five Points in Riverside, the Beaches Town Center in Atlantic Beach and San Marco to dine at some of the locals' favorites.
