Savannah, Georgia RESTAURANTS WE LIKE www.TrustedTours.com |
Savor the food of Savannah. Fabulous and unique, it plays a large role in the
Savannah experience. Restaurants proudly pay tribute to their regional culinary
heritage through menus laced with the deliciously distinctive Lowcountry
ingredients.
For a creative variation of Lowcountry cuisine, an evening at Elizabeth�s on
37th is a delight. Savor this: a blackeyed pea patty with greens and curry
cream for starters, followed by spicy Savannah red rice and Georgia shrimp,
clams, sausage and oysters! Devoted to Southern cooking, most specifically
Savannah cooking in the 18th and 19th centuries, award winning chef Elizabeth
Terry�s unusual and surprising m�lange of traditional flavors, fresh local
ingredients and home grown herbs delight the senses.
Be prepared to stand in line to get into the famous Lady and Sons buffet
and the family style Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room, where mouth-watering
traditional Southern favorites of fried chicken, butter beans, biscuits, hoe
cakes, black eyed peas and collards are irresistible. Try Firefly Caf�
for a big Southern breakfast and a wonderful Sunday brunch or stop for lunch at
the SoHo Caf� for soups and sandwiches with a regional flair.
For more traditional American menus, with just a hint of Lowcountry influence,
take in the sophisticated atmosphere of Bedford�s, in City Market, known
for fine seafood and steaks, creatively prepared; the artistic, sophisticated
and eclectic atmosphere at 700 Drayton in the magnificent Mansion at
Forsyth Park; the delightful seafood specialties in the special ambience of the
1771 Olde Pink House on Abercorn Street.
View the art then pause for a light lunch in the Telfair Caf� overlooking
the Jepson Center for the Arts Center Atrium; take a break from exploring
this remarkable city by stopping for scones, sweets and clotted cream at high
tea at The Tea Room or the Gryphon Tea Room.
While
browsing City Market stop for an al fresco sidewalk lunch or dinner at
the Caf� at City Market; enjoy seafood the Italian way at Garibaldi�s.
Munch on a pizza, savor delicious tapas, have a homemade gelato, or indulge in a
nibble of candy or cake.
From one end to the other, River Street has numerous choices for food and
drink, all with a casual, festive atmosphere; many with views of the river
activity; most offering all variety of fresh seafood; all in a wonderful
collection of restored brick riverfront warehouses. Here, too, you�ll find
riverfront taverns and pubs with Irish names offering music, great happy hours
and just plain fun.
Drive out to Tybee Island for a nice change of scenery and wonderful seafood.
The delicious flavor fusion at George�s of Tybee will astound you; the
comfortable atmosphere at the many seafood restaurants will make you linger. Do
not leave Savannah without venturing out into the marshes to the Crab Shack
for a Lowcountry fish boil or Uncle Bubbas Oyster House for fresh
seafood, Lowcountry sides and a view of Turner�s Creek.
