Where to eat in New Smyrna Beach

  1. Eat

    Bistro 424

    Italian-American cuisine with less seafood than most local restaurants. Has both indoor and outdoor seating; the outdoor seating looks out onto a lake and fountain.

  2. Eat

    Blackbeards

    Popular restaurant with a large menu, with its emphasis on seafood and steak. For quantity at lower prices, this is the place to come, as you'll get the opportunity to self-serve soup or salad and you'll receive some snacks along with your main course, probably the prime rib the restaurant is best known for. Parking is limited to the immdiate surrounds of the restaurant. The restaurant's main positives are that it has a lively atmosphere, especially in the evenings, and provides a good example of American cuisine. It's not walkable from Canal St but is easily visible by car from US-1.

  3. Eat

    Cafe Paradiso (formerly Heavenly)

    A health foods restaurant with sandwiches, wraps and ice cream.

  4. Eat

    Chases on the Beach

    Florida seafood and luscious tropical drinks. Listen to live music while laying around the pool and sipping on a special cocktail.

  5. Eat

    Corkscrew

    Canal Street's main attraction, with beautiful tropical foliage surrounding the restaurant's modern, urban-style interior design in a dimly-lit but atmospheric environment. Upscale American cuisine is served here. There are outdoor and indoor options for seating, although it's often quite busy, so you can't trust that the option for outdoor seating (or indoor seating, for that matter) will be available.

  6. Eat

  8. Eat

    Norwoods

    An institution in New Smyrna Beach that successfully made the change from fans, screen doors and smoked mullet to fine dining, wines, and air conditioning. It serves American cuisine, such as burgers and fries, but also has an upstairs treehouse, where there is a bar and therefore does not permit kids and teenagers.
