Dive into the unique culinary palette of the Florida Panhandle during your next visit to Destin!
While a large portion of Florida is inspired Miami cuisine, Caribbean cuisine, and Latin American cuisine, the Florida Panhandle has its own undertones that are different than the rest of the state. Sharing the coastline with New Orleans and other Creole and French inspired destinations, the natural progression of following the coast arrived in many Destin restaurants and styles of cooking. Another incredible drawl to come to Destin for the plentiful options of fresh, local seafood easily caught at “The World’s Luckiest Fishing Village”. From fine dining establishments to seafood shacks near the water, Destin has a little bit of something for every palette and dining experience.
Of course, Take-out, delivery or cook-in are among your daily choices to consider along with traditional dining out at one of the nearby seafood and specialty restaurants.

In 1984, Louisiana Lagniappe in Destin was opened and established inside Sandpiper Cove condominiums. A loyal following was quickly established, in no small part, to the quality of the food and the attention to detail of the service. Since then, Louisiana Lagniappe has consistently served only the freshest seafood and steaks. The Gulf seafood is prepared with a Creole flair, the attire is casual, yet an upscale waterfront dining experience is provided for the entire family. Open year round, Louisiana Lagniappe is the spot for a memorable dining experience on all levels. With there being hundreds of restaurants in Destin, Lagniappe is consistently ranked in the Top 10 restaurants on TripAdvisor and wins the Award of Excellence every year.
A favorite with the locals since 1974, The Back Porch Seafood & Oyster House in Destin got started in a small A-frame building on the beach (pictured above).
