Short answer
Visit Savannah says the Historic Landmark District has more than 100 restaurants among its 22 park squares; its dining directory names the places below, and two of them ask for reservations a month or more ahead.
We list only places the city’s official tourism page names, with its own description. We add no ratings and no “best” claims. For a plan that uses these stops see 2 days in Savannah.
Read this first: the prices, hours and rules on this page repeat what Visit Savannah’s home page and dining directory said when we read them on November 3, 2026. They can change, so check the current page of each place, or ask each restaurant, before you rely on them. Anything we could not confirm is marked Not confirmed where it appears and listed under What We Could Not Confirm.

What We Could Not Confirm
- Address, hours and menu prices for every place above: the directory page showed descriptions only, and some descriptions were cut off mid-sentence.
- Whether reservations are needed anywhere except the two places the page names.
- Allergen and dietary information: not researched. Ask the restaurant.
- The directory showed 255 listings across restaurants, bars and shops, so this is a sample, not a full list.
