Culinary
The dining options are nearly endless in Coastal Mississippi, which can make picking a restaurant pretty hard for that foodie on your list. We have a suggestion: do the picking for them and get them a gift card to one of the unique dining experiences that make up the Mississippi coastal cuisine. Take a look at this starter-list of one-of-a-kind restaurants on the coast, and feel free to explore the others not listed here.
Trapani’s Eatery
Once you walk into Trapani’s right across from the beach in Bay St. Louis, you can expect some of the finest seafood selections around. Although the location has changed several times due to storms, the Trapani’s team prides itself on the same quality it’s had for decades.
The Chimneys
Gift your favorite foodie with an evening of spirited dining at The Chimneys in Gulfport. This restaurant has been a favorite for locals and visitors alike for decades and has made several comebacks after storms took it out. The wrap around porch and big windows offer beautiful views of the gulf nestled under beautiful oaks.
White Pillars
Welcome to southern charm with a big dose of high- class dining. The White Pillars is another long-time staple on the Mississippi Gulf Coast that has made a recent comeback. Chef Austin Sumrall takes pride in mixing classic southern cuisine, and a farm-to-table concept, with an upscale twist. The large restaurant can accommodate parties both large and small and features a beautiful mahogany bar with a vintage feel.
Vestige
Vestige is the perfect balance of fine dining in an intimate setting. The restaurant is in the heart
of charming downtown Ocean Springs and is walking distance from shopping and a world- class art museum. Vestige features an ever- evolving menu that includes fresh, locally
grown and harvested options. The fresh seafood is many times straight from the waters of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Brady’s Steaks and Seafood
This beautiful restaurant embodies
coastal cuisine with its popular oyster selections, fresh seafood, and beautifully prepared steaks. Sitting at the foot of the Pascagoula River Bridge, Brady’s Steaks and Seafood offers some gorgeous views of the
sunset over South Mississippi. The atmosphere inside has an upscale feel, but the staff give you that southern charm that is unmistakably Coastal Mississippi.
Blue Marlin
The Blue Marlin is Coastal Mississippi’s newest elegant seafood restaurant located in Centennial Plaza. Here you’ll find the freshest catch crafted into contemporary seafood dishes. Delight your taste buds from starters to dessert and enjoy a fully stocked bar. Open for dinner Sunday through Thursday from 4 until 10 p.m, and an incredible brunch awaits on Sunday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Biloxi Shrimp Co.
Send the gift of Gulf-fresh seafood to your loved ones this holiday season! Biloxi Shrimp Co. was founded in June 2020 by Mark Mavar and Jonathan McLendon, owners of merged commercial shrimp processing companies Biloxi Freezing & Processing, Inc. and M&M Shrimp Company LLC. Now the whole country can enjoy the secret that Biloxians and fine restaurants have been keeping!
