Wilmington Restaurants

Walk the riverfront in Wilmington, North Carolina, or visit the beaches of the Atlantic coast in this distinctive city. You can enjoy plenty of creative and delicious dining options that feature Southern cuisine, fish and seafood pulled fresh from the local waterways, and you'll find a wide array of American and international cuisines. Savor raw oysters at a local oyster bar or enjoy Caribbean preparations of shrimp and grilled fish. Taste regional presentations of broiled seafood, seared swordfish and shrimp and grits. Visit a small-plates restaurant that features global cuisine from sushi to Greek sardines to Spanish-style tapas with sunchokes and cheese. Enjoy fine dining at a new-American restaurant serving farm-to-table cuisine and the fresh catch of the day as well as beef tartare, grilled red snapper and Southern fried chicken. For a more casual experience, chow down on a juicy burger at a brick-walled pub.
