Favorite restaurants

Anyone else been to the French restaurant on 98 --not too far from where you drop down to go to 30-A? I think it's called Cafe Provence. We have enjoyed it as a special meal each of the last two years we visited down there. The chateaubriand was heavenly! (you may need to request it if it is not on the menu--last time we requested it and they had no problem accomodating it. Then you have to decide who will get the leftovers--it is so delicious even the next day!)

Borago is a definite repeater for us...Angelina's, Yianni's and Cocoon's for yummy take out, Cowgirl Kitchen had some interesting take out as well...I am craving some of Angelina's entrees right now...the tomato cream sauce is addictive!

Old Florida Fish House on C-30A just opened July 2nd or so....it is where Luna Del Mar (and Fuddpuckers in Seagrove) used to be on the northeast side overlooking Eastern Lake. The food was good (I think the folks that run the Back Porch in Destin run/own it), the place is beautiful inside, the service was just OK but they had just opened 3 days before we went and were still getting things ironed out. A little pricy but fresh seafood (no excuse if not) but overlooking the lake and seeing the sunset and fish jumping was a highlight for my 3 boys (and me). Yianni's is great too!

My sister wanted to know if someone serves a vegetarian menu.My brother in law is a vegetarian.

Vegetarians that eat fish? Or not even fish vegetarians?

I am guessing that Angelina's has an eggplant parm dish; and I think Cafe 30-a may have a couple of vegetarian dishes.

You'll be happy to hear that Angelina's has Eggplant Parmesan on their lunch specials (at least for Wednesdays) . I had it today and it was great (you gotta like cheese, though, 'cause its absolutely smothered with creamy mozzarella). For 5.99 with green salad and bread stix, a hard to beat deal.


Thanks to those that recommended this fine little place!

Have any of you folks raving about Angelina's pizza ever been just down the street to Bruno's? Beats the tar out of them, IMO.

Ha... my husband and i have a friendly running debate about this every time we go down. he insists Angelina's is better, but they BOTH rock, IMHO. Bottom line: Angelina's has more authentic italian thin-crust style pie. Bruno's is thicker, cheesier, with big chunks of toppings..a little more Chicago style. So it's all in your preference.

I recommend Bruno's "special Chicken pizza", and Angelina's olive-mushroom-garlic pizza on thin crust. We often pick up one of those as our last stop out of the area, to munch on on the way home.

Before it closed Spiazza was a great place for breakfast. Also, the Bait House at Watercolor has a great breakfast. However, our current favorite is Blue Orleans in Blue Mountain.

Does Blue Orleans serve dinner? Reservations necessary? What kind of menu , atmosphere and attire? Good wine selection?

Spiazzia re-opened a couple of weeks ago after the fire last fall. :clap_1:
