The annual downtown Jacksonville restaurant tour event is coming up this Month. From August 15-28, several downtown restaurants will offer fixed menu options for $25 a person or per couple depending on the place. This is the fifth year of the event. See http://www.eatupdowntown.com/ for participating restaurants and there respective menu offers.
I have taken advantage of this event several times in the past and hopefully will be able to again this year. There are some great options this year. A must visit (and personal favorite) is Cafe Nola. It's inside the MOCA and only open on Thursdays. This year they are offering several items including Tuna Tartare, Shrimp & Grits, Eggplant Curry, and Sticky Fig pudding. Another favorite of mine is Chew on West Adams street. They are doing an appetizer and a 2 course meal instead of a desert. I saw a ratatouille and Daube of Beef a la provencal (a French braised beef stew). Looks delicious!. Also, you can never go wrong with b.b.'s or Basil Thai.
Hopefully, everyone can go to at least one of the restaurants. It is absolutely worth it. This years restaurant list is below. Click on the restaurant for the menu offering.
