The Chefs of Florida’s Historic Coast

Chefs on Florida’s Historic Coast continue to make history with signature dishes featuring local favorites and heritage-inspired flavors.

It’s no surprise that Florida’s Historic Coast has become a “must” destination for foodies.

And it’s not just restaurants offering diners a unique culinary experience. Today’s food scene encompasses a wide range of open-air options that include food trucks, communal outdoor asado grills, pop-ups and a variety of stunning waterfront views to enhance the diner’s experience. From elegant resorts in Ponte Vedra Beach, to Old World bistros and eclectic cafes on Aviles Street and craft cocktails as innovative as their dishes, the chefs of Florida’s Historic Coast have found their own way to express their creativity and skill. All of this is to the delight of diners lucky enough to snag a seat at the table.

Award-winning chefs and great cuisine, paired with a wide variety of lodging options make a visit to Florida’s Historic Coast a foodie heaven.
