“You don’t need a silver fork to eat good food.” - Paul Prudhomme

Visiting local restaurants is one of my favorite things to do. I'm a foodie and really like exploring new restaurants! We make a list of new places to try and make it a point to share our experiences with friends.

Today, I'm sharing a few meals that I love at some amazing restaurants in my hometown of Hampton Roads, VA.

Commune

Commune is so delicious. The best thing about this spot is, that they only serve fresh and local produce. You can always count on this restaurant cooking with quality ingredients. Also, the little bakeshop is to die for, and the small little grocery in the front of the building has yummy goodies!

Tinto Wine & Cheese

G & I enjoyed an amazing cheese and wine pairing class, at our favorite little wine shop, Tinto Wine & Cheese. They have the most delicious light fare, and have wonderful wines. There are three locations in Hampton Roads, you can find them in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Chesapeake.

Cobalt Grille

Cobalt Grille has been one of my favorite restaurants for years. My Grandmother introduced me to this restaurant when I was in college, and it's now a family favorite. Everything on the menu is delicious, and I have never had a bad meal here! Also, they have wonderful specials - Beef Wellington, Rock Fish with Lump Crab Meat, and it's all to die for. Also, they use local fresh ingredients! If you are looking for a nice spot, for a cute date night, this is the place!

Bay Local

Bay Local is my favorite spot for brunch, and I'm there at least once a week. There is always a line out the door, and for absolute good reason! They don't take reservations, so get there early to enjoy their specials and amazing mimosas. This avocado toast with a side of tots, is my go-to dish right now. Everything is made with the best ingredients and super delicious.

Fruitive

Plant-based meals have been on my radar in the past year, and Fruitive is my absolute fave. They have three locations in Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach, and two spots in Norfolk. I love their juices and this Charcoal Limeade is so refreshing and delicious, it's my go-to drink whenever I need a detox.

Pungo Pizza & Ice Cream

My favorite pie from my childhood pizza shop in Virginia Beach, VA - Pungo Pizza & Ice Cream. I have been getting pizza from this place since I was in middle school. It's not far from house, and I cannot get enough of it! The pepperoni pizza is to die for, and their garlic knots are even more delicious!

Mannino's Italian Bistro

Seafood is my absolute favorite, and I'm in love with fried oysters. This fried oyster appetizer is amazing, and I always order it as an entree and get veggies on the side. Mannino's Italian Bistro is one of the hidden gems in this city. Also, this little place holds a special place in my heart - the day G proposed, we went to this sweet place the night we got engaged.

What are some of your favorite places to eat in your hometown?

Enjoy!
