The Best Meal of the Week on 30-A

Since 2004, when they purchased Brookhaven Pub & Grill in Memphis, Christy Spell Terry and Rick Spell have built a business around dining destinations that offer a combination of beautiful settings, a great menu featuring locally sourced ingredients, and a superb selection of libations. Now with ten eateries under Spell Restaurant Group, spanning Florida and Tennessee, they aim to continue evolving and creating new experiences for guests to enjoy time and time again. One of those experiences is everyone’s favorite weekend meal—brunch.

Brunch culture has become synonymous with leisure and togetherness. Friends and family gather for a late-morning or early-afternoon meal that, as its name suggests, could include anything from Belgian waffles to burgers. Of course, the mimosa and the Bloody Mary have also become brunchtime staples. The menus at Spell Restaurant Group’s destinations on Scenic Highway 30-A in Northwest Florida offer two distinct but equally exciting brunch experiences.

Edward’s

Located in the heart of Rosemary Beach, Edward’s has delighted tourists and locals with its robust wine selection and Gulf seafood for many years. Edward’s offers fine dishes in a casual setting, with lunch served Wednesday through Saturday and dinner served nightly beginning at 5:00 p.m. Brunch is a special Sunday occurrence for guests dining in the courtyard or indoors from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Let Chef Josh Smith and his team delight your taste buds with favorites like sweet potato pancakes, crab cake Benedict, deviled eggs, and the steakhouse burger.

Whether you’re looking for an elevated Sunday meal in Rosemary Beach or a delicious feast with Latin American flair, you can’t go wrong with these two unique brunch spots on Scenic Highway 30-A.

After a glass of rosé or a mimosa, stroll down Main Street and take a peek at the dazzling Gulf of Mexico. And for those who want to come back to experience Edward’s at dinnertime, we hear the capellini pomodoro is a hit! The newly renovated upstairs bar area at Edward’s is also available for special events with views of the Gulf.

LaCo Latin Coastal Kitchen

If you prefer a margarita to a mimosa, LaCo might be the 30-A brunch stop for you! Plus, a little parrot told us a secret—they serve brunch every day until 1:00 p.m.! Enjoy a Latin twist on breakfast and coastal brunch faves, including lobster avocado toast, shrimp and grits, brioche French toast, crab cake Benedict, and sweet potato breakfast hash. All menu items at LaCo are prepared from scratch using the freshest ingredients. The full menu is available from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily, except during happy hour from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. when a limited menu is served. Casual and kid-friendly, LaCo has indoor and outdoor seating, plus TVs in the bar area for the big games, all in the heart of Seacrest Beach.

Spring is here, and our senses are tingling for fresh florals, cocktails by the pool, and dinner parties under the stars. This C’est la VIE collection is inspired by the homemaker who doesn’t compromise flavor for a fabulous table setting and always looks chic while doing so. Still, even the most experienced entertainer needs to order takeout from time to time—and if it’s presented on beautiful floral tableware, the guests may never even know.
