Plan Your Getaway

Welcome to the New Smyrna Beach dining scene — where fresh-caught seafood, farm-to-table ingredients, and laid-back coastal vibes come together in delicious harmony. Situated along Florida’s scenic A1A, the New Smyrna Beach Area is famous for its beaches and surf culture — but locals know the real flavor of NSB is found at the table.

From chef-owned bistros and oceanfront restaurants to casual tiki bars and craft breweries, every meal here celebrates local flavor, fresh ingredients, and Florida sunshine. Whether you’re dining in downtown New Smyrna Beach, Flagler Avenue, Canal Street, or one of our surrounding towns — Port Orange, Edgewater, Oak Hill, and Osteen — your taste buds are in for a treat.

Fresh, Local, and Sustainably Sourced

The New Smyrna Beach Area takes pride in serving what’s caught and grown locally. You’ll find menus rich with: Atlantic seafood like snapper, grouper, shrimp, and oysters; seasonal produce from nearby farms and markets; and  creative coastal cuisine crafted by some of Florida’s best chefs.

Enjoy five-star flavors in a friendly, small-town setting — whether it’s brunch by the beach, sunset seafood on the river, or dinner in a downtown art gallery café.

Some of the Must-try favorites are dockside dining at Outriggers Tiki Bar & Grille, beachfront bites at The Breakers Oceanfront Restaurant, upscale dining at The Garlic or Norwood’s Treehouse Bar, and locals’ hangouts like Third Wave Café, JB’s Fish Camp, and SoNapa Grille.
