the floridian SAINT AUGUSTINE’S MUST TRY RESTAURANT
We have been venturing to The Floridian since quite literally our very first visit to St. A. We fell in love the first time and have never been disappointed since then. the floridan, to us, is one of the restaurants we absolutely have to visit when our out of town guests visit so we can show off what the Ancient City has to offer. They recently opened their new, much larger location and if you have not been, add a visit to your calendar! The Floridian offers creative Southern Flare with a touch of localized innovation. The scenery is beachy, inviting and eclectic.
Don’t just take our word for it. Over 4,000 reviews for this restaurant serve as a testament to their unique approach to providing culinary excellence in our quaint little town. Our personal favorite is the biscuits and belly. This spectacular meal takes biscuits and gravy to the next level, adding a pork belly that cuts like butter and absolutely melts in your mouth. The cocktails are creative, delicious and plenty strong. The appetizers are so good you have to be intentional about not finishing them to save room for your main entree. Oh and how did I forget to mention, if you are gluten free like ourselves, the options are endless. The dynamic ownership team of The Floridian features a husband and wife team that wanted to provide delicious Gluten Free meals that don’t compromise on the qualities of homemade southern food that fills your belly and warms your soul.
