Welcome to the
SAiRA Dining Guide
Inside you will find visual guides and links to some of St. Augustine’s best and most unique
restaurants. All independently owned and operated. Each establishment brings its own
individual style to enhance overall dining experiences in the oldest city.
Founded 10 years ago by a group of owners wanting to combine their efforts at marketing
independent, unique restaurants as a vital part of the culture and attraction of St. Augustine as a
destination city.
Since then, the association has become a well-known, well loved, integral part of the city. The
restaurants themselves are acclaimed for their quality, at all levels, from casual to fine dining.
Located from the northern to southern edges of St. Augustine, patrons can enjoy multiple
cuisine styles, and unique settings from oceanfront and intracoastal to historic.
All the restaurants are involved with the community through charitable and community
originations and come together every year to showcase their talents in a food and wine festival,
benefitting a local charity followed by a city wide restaurant week. The Food and Wine Festival,
in its 9th year, has raised close to $100,000.00.
In 2017, SAiRA launched its own foundation to raise money for education programs tied to the
hospitality industry to guarantee a quality workforce for the future, and as a charitable base for
hospitality employees facing great need.
Looking ahead the association will continue to grow in size and push the quality of dining to new
heights.
