Gem of Jacksonville's Guidebook
Food scene
The BEST restaurant in Jacksonville. You will not be disappointed, from the ambiance, hospitality, to the food! I highly recommend trying their homemade hummus as an appetizer, lamb platter as the main course, and baklava for dessert. PS: Try out their selection of Lebanese Wines and Mediterranean bottled beer.

I have been coming here since I was a child and have NEVER been disappointed. The food is always favorable and the portions generous. You cannot go wrong ordering their hibachi steak plate and sake.

My go-to when it comes to satisfying my sweet tooth! Perfect spot to get your fix of tres leches cake, pan dulce, and even paletas.

Low key place, high quality food. They are normally not overcrowded and food is cooked quickly without having to compromise on the authentic taste. I have been coming here since they opened and still cannot choose between their tacos, fajitas del mar, or their fajita burritos.
