Alligator Soul restaurant is the answer to the question, “Where is the best place to dine while in Savannah?” The downtown restaurant is consistently recommended among the upscale restaurants selected by Savannah’s most discerning citizens and travelers. Our local restaurant is known for Fresh, Local, Regional and Organic fare.

Belford’s casual fine dining in a historic brick building has anchored the west end of City Market for over fourteen years, offering breakfast, lunch, dinner and a champagne brunch on Sunday. Guests may dine alfresco or in our dining room in the former location of a Savannah family-owned wholesale food supplier. Belford’s offers Southern style, upscale fresh seafood dishes as well as various cuts of Certified Angus beef steaks.

Having worked in many different venues, and seeing how food is made, prepared and eaten, I have come to the conclusion that if you serve desserts, they have to be as good or better than the rest of the menu.

Located in historic downtown Savannah, Georgia, Brasserie 529 offers the best in French-inspired brasserie cuisine. Our guests can enjoy classic brasserie food, cocktails and a hand-picked wine list in a modern, casual setting indoors or on our patio.

Many people (including me) have not had a spectacular relationship with steaks. While some enjoy them at restaurants, fewer are the people that make them in the comfort of a home, without all the high-tech expensive gear chefs have. Feeling enlightened and wanting to share, here a few tips that will make it easier to cook a steak, without a big hassle.

Combine a delectable menu featuring homemade pastas, Neapolitan pizzas and fresh seafood with two chic dining spaces and a welcoming atmosphere and you get Leoci’s Trattoria, one of Savannah’s premier Italian restaurants. Spend an evening with friends sipping wine on the patio or share an intimate meal of Chef Roberto’s risotto or oven-baked mussels in the stylish dining room. Also be sure to try their new Gourmet Box program.

Last evening, the ballroom at the Savannah International Trade and Convention Center was a buzz, filled with revelers feasting on the finest foods that the city’s creative culinary chefs could conjure up.  The 10^th Annual Taste of Savannah, sponsored by the Savannah Area Tourism Leadership Council, hosted over 1,000 guests who sampled savory sweets and succulent sustenance while swooning and sashaying to the sounds of the Swingin’ Medallions singing on the spectacular stage.

Three food and wine afficionados were carefully selected and invited to judge the elaborate array of food entries, each created around a nautical theme.  In addition to the awards graciously bestowed upon the winners by the 3 celebrity judges, guests were also asked to cast a ballot for their favorite dish. This vote determined who received the coveted Guest’s Choice Award at evening’s end.
