Part of St. Augustine (in some form) since 1888, this establishment is full of history. Once called The Hotel Alcazar, it was home to a casino and the world's largest indoor swimming pool (which secretly played host to many monarchs and presidents). Nowadays, the deep end of the former swimming pool holds the cafe that is open daily for lunch. Menu items include escargot, curried chicken salad sandwich, shrimp Giovanni and a Florida favorite, key lime pie. Most dishes range from $8-$15. While you eat, look up to the elegant balconies above where spectators used to view the swimmers in pool below, which is now you lunch spot.
