Three of Our Favorite Restaurants in Old Town

Landini Brothers

At Landini Brothers restaurant you can cozy up and enjoy the time-honored flavors of the original comfort food, Italian. It’s a warm and romantic spot with an old-world feel that’s also perfect for dinner with friends and family.

Landini Brothers has an extensive menu featuring all kinds of classics. They’re known for their fresh fish, oysters, and homemade pasta. A local favorite is the linguini with lobster and their sea bass and rockfish with capers and white wine are fantastic. Just make sure you finish your meal with a piece of their homemade tiramisu!

Le Refuge

When you feel like something familiar yet exciting, French cuisine is a perfect choice. Some of the dishes offer rich single notes of flavor while others are a complex layering of old and new tastes.

Le Refuge has been a staple in Old Town for 30+ years and is now run by the daughter of the original owner. We love the traditional favorites including French onion soup, country pate, fresh fish, and scallops. The Caesar salad is exquisite as well. And don’t forget to try the profiteroles for dessert, they’re a special treat!

The Warehouse

Sometimes it’s fun to start at the beginning, and when you dine at The Warehouse you’ll be doing just that! It is one of the first restaurants to open in Old Town, and it’s been a local favorite ever since.

The Warehouse is known for its Creole menu options and serves some of the best fresh fish entrees in the area along with Kobe burgers and flavorful chicken & pork options. Be sure to try the she-crab soup while you’re there!
