Café Cabana’s BarbeCue Nachos

It’s winter. Time to fill your belly with warm goodness. Here are just a few fabulous, filling bites we have enjoyed on local menus around the Emerald Coast.

Snack

Café Cabana, Destin

Tantalize those taste buds with a unique spin on an old favorite. Café Cabana’s BarbeCue Nachos come towering with barbecue sauce-infused pulled pork and dripping with the restaurant’s homemade cheese sauce — all poured over a batch of light, airy corn chips. They’re a unique concoction sure to satisfy all those who order them. $10.99

Lunch

Bay Café, Fort Walton Beach

Sitting in the sun sipping champagne and nibbling a buttery croissant as boats bob up and down in the bay, you can almost imagine you are in a Parisian café along the Seine. Everything is good here, but the Basqué Omelette with tomato, onion, pepper and cheese is très magnifique and may just have you sighing, “We’ll always have the Bay Cafe!” $10

Dinner

George’s, Alys Beach

When invited to either “behave” or “misbehave” in a restaurant, either way you go, you know you are in for a tasty adventure at George’s in Alys Beach. We thought being naughty tasted quite nice when we tucked into Senõra Anna’s Fish Tacos. We chose grilled and they came topped with lime cabbage slaw, poblano lime tarter sauce and a side of cilantro rice and black beans. $21
