This business is temporarily closed while moving.
A popular spot for St. Augustine visitors and residents alike, the Floridian restaurant offers fresh, healthy, and delicious food for lunch and dinner. For 15 years, they have prepared lunches, dinners, and food for special occasions, on the edge of the historic downtown, first on Cordova Street and now at 72 Spanish Street.
The Menu
The Floridian offers a diverse menu, serving dishes that utilize local, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients as much as possible. They support the St. Augustine farming community by purchasing ingredients locally and in season. As a result, their menu includes authentic, fresh, and healthy food that changes continuously with the seasons—from salad bowls to sandwiches and a host of dinner entrees.
While they offer decidedly southern fare, including fried green tomatoes, the recipes are unique to the Floridian. They include foods and flavors from several southern cuisines, such as the local dish, shrimp and sausage pilau, a golden curry, and hoppin' John and greens. You can find appealing menu items for several dietary preferences, including gluten-free.
The Floridian has a full bar and offers seating indoors and out, with umbrellas over the tables for sunny days and outdoor heaters for cold days.
Special Events
The Floridian offers an event space and catering services for rehearsal dinners and private parties.
Moving in 2025
The Floridian will close for a few months as they prepare a new restaurant on Anastasia Island. July 28, 2025, was their last day of service on Spanish Street. They plan to open in their new location, 485 Old Beach Road (near the 312 intersection), in the spring or summer of 2026.
They serve lunch from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m and then dinner until close.
