Housed in a charming 18th-century building, The Tasting Room is the place to go and tapear (eat tapas) while in St Augustine. The menus change according to season and they all feature items from home such as aged Serrano and Iberian ham, Chorizo and the popular Valdéon or Manchego cheeses. Some of the traditional tapas themselves include pulpo (octopus), Croquetas (croquettes) and Caracoles (snails). In addition to spectacular seasonal menus, The Tasting Room also has excellent prix-fixe ones. The wine list is equally impressive, the restaurant not only has varietals from around Spain like Tempranillo, Albariño and Garnacha, but it also has wines from regions around the world.
This fusion Polish-Greek restaurant located on the oldest street in country is a nice change of pace from the glut of American or seafood restaurants that abound in town. Even though the waffles or gaufres don't originate from the Mediterranean palate, here the kitchen specializes in making them. As far as the Greek influence, the spanakopita (spinach pie) and skordalia (garlic mashed potatoes) are marvelous. On the Polish side, Ola's pierogies are amazing and don't forget to try the pyzy either, it's a dish from Silesia in South Poland that consists of meat-stuffed dumplings served with butter, bacon or both.
