Tips for Dining with Little Ones
Time it Right
To avoid long waits, try dining during off-peak hours, especially for popular spots during weekends or peak season.
Make Reservations
If you’re dining with a large family or visiting during peak times, calling ahead can save you time at some restaurants and eateries.
Don’t Forget the Camera
Our scenic backdrops near many of the best dining spots in the city are perfect for capturing memorable moments before, during, and after, your meal.
Ask About Portion Sizes
Some restaurants serve large portions that are great for sharing or splitting between kids to minimize waste and save money.
Embrace St. Augustine’s Walkability
Pick dining spots near attractions or parks so you can work in some pre- or post-meal exploration, making the most of your outing. There are plenty of transportation options available, perfect for hot days and tired feet.
