Outdoor Courtyard Brunch in Fernandina Beach
Brunch in our garden courtyard, or inside in our dining room, 8am–3pm every day we’re open.
Garden Street Bistro is set around a courtyard in downtown Fernandina Beach. Our kitchen is in one building and our dining room is in the house on the other side of the courtyard, so the garden is at the heart of a visit here. When the weather is right, it’s our favorite place to eat brunch.
“We sat outside in the garden area… they had the heaters cranking and it was perfect. I recommend sitting outside for the ambiance.”
Reserving a courtyard table
When you book online, choose “Outside (courtyard)” as your space preference and we’ll confirm availability for your date. Brunch is served every day we’re open, 8am–3pm; we’re closed Tuesdays. On Mondays and Fridays we stay open for dinner until 9pm.
Dogs welcome
Dogs are welcome in the courtyard (not in the indoor dining room), so you can bring yours along to brunch. Ask for a courtyard table when you reserve. More on our dog-friendly brunch page.
Accessible outdoors
Our entrance is step-free, our restrooms are wheelchair accessible, and the courtyard can be reached by wheelchair. Let us know about any other needs in your reservation’s special requests.
What’s on the table
The menu is the same award-winning brunch served inside: brioche French toast, crab cake omelets, shrimp and grits, pancakes, salads and bistro lunch. Readers of the Fernandina Beach News-Leader voted us their 2026 Readers’ Choice for Brunch. Add a tableside mimosa bar, or $20 bottomless mimosas on Fridays.
Groups and celebrations
Planning a shower, birthday or rehearsal brunch? We host private parties in our dining room or courtyard. See private parties, or browse the brunch menu.
Prefer to sit inside?
We have indoor dining too. If the courtyard is full or the weather turns, the same menu is served in our indoor dining room in the house across the courtyard, and there’s our full bar. Choose “Inside” when you book, or see indoor dining. Note your preference when you book and we’ll do our best. Questions about a specific date? Call us at (904) 432-7027.
