Beaufort Grocery Co.

A favorite among both locals and visitors, the casual downtown eatery stacks up gourmet sandwiches and salads at lunchtime, in addition to gumbo, other great soups and wonderful gougères: Parmesan pastries stuffed with chicken or shrimp salad. In the evening, the romantic lights come on as diners sit down to upscale dishes including duck, veal scaloppine, grilled yellowfin tuna and crab cakes.
