I have been waiting for months for the days when I can dine outside, light sweater or jacket in tow. 🙌 

You, too? So glad I’m not alone. That said, enjoy this list of some of my favorite spots for dining al fresco around Fernandina Beach this fall. 

📍 Burlingame

Intimate, sophisticated modern eatery with seasonal-inspired dishes to enjoy on their gorgeous pergola deck. My appetizer recommendation? The Fried Brussels Sprouts.

📍 The Patio at 5th & Ash

This place is the perfect setting to enjoy that crisp fall breeze dining on their patio under a canopy of oaks with twinkling lights, live music, firepits, and a delicious and diverse menu. 

📍 Cafe Karibo 

The cutest eclectic bistro with an enchanting garden courtyard and a fresh enticing menu. My personal recommendation? The curry chicken salad wrap.

📍 Marché Burette

Nestled within the Omni Amelia Island Resort, unwind on their outdoor patio or covered porch with a serene view overlooking a lake. This is the ideal spot to escape the daily hustle and bustle while enjoying their French-inspired menu. 

📍 España Restaurant & Tapas

Savor the traditional Spanish and Portuguese flavors with delicious tapas and homemade sangria in a stunning outdoor garden setting right in the heart of downtown Fernandina Beach

📍 Pogo's Kitchen

For those seeking a cozy, intimate experience, Pogo’s a go-to! Their inviting covered patio, paired with a seasonal menu, offers a taste of Southern refinement in every dish.

📍 Lagniappe

Where great food and community come together. Their ‘meatloaf Mondays’ are a local hit, so be sure to make a reservation to secure your spot. Enjoy their French Creole menu with a southern twist in their beautiful brick courtyard. You’ll quickly understand why this place is a must-visit on Amelia Island

📍The Boat House

The ideal spot for a lively, energetic dining experience with live music, a relaxing atmosphere, and sunset views, all in the heart of downtown. Get ready for a night of fun, great food, and memorable moments.
