The partnership between restaurateur Johno Morisano and chef Mashama Bailey was a game changer for the city’s foodscape. Together, the duo transformed a Jim Crow–era Greyhound bus station into a reckoning of the South’s—and Savannah’s—culinary heritage. Guests are welcome to a quick bite (order the red rice cakes) and a drink (try the El Diablo) at the sleek front-of-house bar. Better yet, settle in for an unhurried, multicourse experience in the main dining room, where sharing is not only encouraged but expected.

The Vault Kitchen & Market

Named in honor of two of Georgia’s top crops, this old midcentury bank, complete with a private dining space inside a steel vault, serves smart seasonal dishes like herby panzanella and crab-stuffed Carolina trout. Always on the menu: a large slate of small-batch bourbons and the best cheese board in town, piled high with the likes of Sweet Grass Dairy’s Thomasville Tomme and Asher Blue, house-made sausages, pâtés, and pickled veggies.

For more than thirty-five years, Savannahians have marked all manner of anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, and other milestones inside this grand Greek Revival mansion. Once off the beaten path, the culinary landmark now stands firmly at the center of the artsy Starland District’s renaissance. Chef Kelly Yambor carries on founder Elizabeth Terry’s commitment to fresh coastal cuisine rooted deeply in Southern tradition, and the Butch brothers’ wine list is one of the country’s best.

Even after fifteen years and two best-selling cookbooks, Cheryl and Griffith Day still flick on the lights every morning around four o’clock and start baking Chocolate Heaven cakes, sweet-potato-and-herb hand pies, and sourdough baguettes from scratch. It’s become a rite of passage among Savannah families to bring in babies for their first “newborn”—a one-bite old-fashioned vanilla cupcake that’s a gateway for good things to come.

The Sentient Bean
13 E Park AveAs of last year, you no longer have to wait in Leopold’s ever-present line or even be in Savannah to enjoy its famed frozen hot cocoa or tutti-frutti. Stratton and Mary Leopold recently expanded the local institution, launching an off-site creamery that ships pints and soon opening a second shop. Still, nothing beats the in-parlor experience of an oversize ball of Chocolate Chewies & Cream dripping down a sugar cone at the Broughton Street flagship.

Even, or maybe especially, after a long night, Savannahians brave the line for brunch at Aussie Anthony Debreceny’s bistro. A flat white espresso or a bracing Bloody offers a welcome jolt before you tuck into the savory avocado smash or a reinterpretation of biscuits and gravy with poached eggs and fennel-apple slaw that fills you up without weighing you down.

Tucked at the end of a gravel road along an offshoot of the Herb River, this fish shack’s rustic exterior belies the inspired cocktails and fresh seafood you’ll find inside. It’s one of the few waterside-dining options beyond heavily tourist-trafficked River Street and nearby Tybee Island. Chef Tony Seichrist’s dive is cherished by residents who come by land (and sea) to savor ceviche, fish tacos, and sparkling sangria
