Southern Hospitality
Housed in a restored 1938 Greyhound bus terminal, The Grey has become one of Savannah’s best-known culinary treasures. Helmed by James Beard Award-winning chef Mashama Bailey, the menu features southern staples with a master chef’s finishing touches. The smothered grouper is a stunning entrée, and the chicken country captain is the best rendition of the classic chicken-and-rice dish we’ve ever tasted.
For those craving traditional Southern comfort food, Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room is a must-visit. This cash-only, no-reservations, communal-table restaurant is a favorite of Barack Obama and is famous for its Southern-style fried chicken. Don’t leave without trying the iconic meatloaf.
Showcasing the best of Southern cuisine with a modern twist, the Savannah outpost of chef Sean Brock’s pan-Southern restaurant, Husk, never disappoints. Dive into their creamy Georgia shrimp and grits or relish the rich flavors of the duck confit. This restaurant is a testament to the timeless charm of Southern cooking.
The Classics
Start your culinary tour with a visit to 45 Bistro, located in the heart of historic Savannah. Dive into the rich and flaky North Atlantic salmon or indulge in the succulent wet-aged ribeye. This upscale eatery combines classic elegance with a modern twist, promising a delightful experience.
Noble Fare offers a low-lit, romantic ambiance for a special occasion dinner. The coffee-rubbed pork tenderloin is an aromatic experience, while the braised beef short ribs melt in your mouth.
Fusion Fare
This renovated bank-turned-restaurant serves dishes worth their weight in gold. The Vault promises an unforgettable experience with Asian-inspired dishes like spicy tuna tartare and miso salmon bringing a contemporary global touch to Savannah’s dining scene.
For a lively atmosphere paired with flavorful dishes, head to Jazz’d Tapas Bar. Their Thai chicken lettuce wraps offer a burst of freshness, while the low country fried shrimp taco will have your toes tapping in time.
Cocktail City
Bask in the Prohibition-era vibe while sipping on craft cocktails at Repeal 33 — their whiskey list hits all the high notes. If you seek a combination of fine dining and breathtaking views, Vici Rooftop is the spot.
