A highly recommended stop for lunch, dinner or a weekend brunch is at the eclectic and reasonably priced Gypsy Cab Co. This venue offers a variety of urban cuisine as a “casual restaurant with diner friendliness.” Gypsy Cab Co. was named the 1st place winner for Global Cuisine, Best Restaurant Overall, Best Lunch Restaurant, and Best Servers in 2006 by the St. Augustine Record. Try something off of the restaurant’s popular today’s cab fare menu section, such as the blackened chicken nachos for only $8. http://www.gypsycab.com/
Located on San Marco Avenue, Raintree Restaurant has historic surroundings, a meaningful heritage, and a dessert bar to die for. Taste one of the restaurant’s specialty made-to-order crepes for a concoction like none other. I suggest the cinnamon-banana crepe with ice cream for $8.95 because the melt-in-your-mouth experience is worth much more. Enjoy the outdoor garden patio and gazebo for an added pleasure. http://www.raintreerestaurant.com/
If you like live music and cheap drinks, Mill Top Tavern is an establishment worth looking into. A full liquor bar for your enjoyment is available all day, including happy hour on Monday – Friday from 5:00p.m. – 7:30p.m. With a selection of imported and domestic beer, wine, and champagne, Mill Top is sure to quench your thirst.
