Dining Scene

Whether you’re in the mood for fresh fish or a plate of pasta, Daytona has you covered.

Here’s what to expect when dining out.

Flavors to Savor Daytona’s burgeoning restaurant scene is host to one-of-a-kind local eateries, a plethora of microbreweries and wine bars and some of the freshest seafood on the Atlantic coast.

Eat Local

©DAYTONA BEACH AREA CVB

The city and surrounding areas are known for fresh seafood, local produce and farm-totable fare. Whether you’re craving grass-fed filet mignon, seafood lasagna, Asian fusion, handcrafted hops or just a juicy cheeseburger, you’ll find it at one of Daytona Beach’s many local, independent restaurants.

Drink Up Perfectly pair your meal with tasty custom pints and carafes of local beer and wine. Here you’ll find eight cozy microbreweries owned and operated by passion-

ate hopheads. An array of sophisticated and sultry wine bars offer exquisite selections along with artisan cheese and specialty salads served in armchairs or on outdoor patios.

Vegan/Vegetarian Daytona is home to several eateries, cafes, bistros and diners that feature meat-free menus.

Choices range from juice bars with vegan-only options to gluten-free gastropubs with homemade vegan burgers.

For ethnic cuisine, there are traditional Indian restaurants, a natural foods store and tons of Italian kitchens with vegetarian pasta, pizza and calzones.

Seafood From mahi mahi and swordfish to shrimp and snapper, finding a restaurant in the Daytona Beach area that serves locally

caught seafood is a cinch. You don’t want to miss the fresh sea scallops or the catch-of-the-day served on dockside patios overlooking a marina or beachside with the sound of waves crashing and the wind in your hair. Several seafood shops serve meals inhouse, so you can eat and bring something fresh home for the next night’s dinner.

Fine Dining Head to Ormond Beach or downtown Daytona Beach for the day or just for dinner to explore all the popular fine dining establishments the areas have to offer. Restaurants set in historic houses and chic modern environments invite diners to sample delectable cuisines and embark on culinary adventures featuring tastes from along the coast to around the world.

RoyalHeaven Hog St. Cloud BBQ A DV E RTORI A L

Located on the corner of Atlantic Avenue by the Ocean Center and across from the Daytona Hilton, Hog Heaven BBQ has been a local favorite for over 30 years. Because we are locally owned and operated, we cook our BBQ fresh every day. If you’ve been on the beach here, you’ve probably enjoyed the aroma of our signature smoked brisket, pulled pork and chicken, cooking “low and slow” by the same pitmaster since 1987. Over the years, the area around us has changed a lot, but we’ve kept our BBQ heavenly and rooted in Southern hospitality and charm. Come inside and cool off, or take a seat on our patio and enjoy the sights and sounds of Daytona’s beachfront area. Our aim is to “Put Some South in Your Mouth.”
