Harry’s is a small chain of family-owned New Orleans style restaurants located throughout North Florida.

Evenings, live acoustic music and white string lights evoke a European café. Inside, the restaurant’s hand-painted tiles and arched doorways reflect St. Augustine’s Spanish colonial past.

Spanish Heritage

It's Authentic!

Ponce de Leon’s landing in 1513 inspired the Bridge of Lions four centuries later. In Spanish, león means lion. Follow the lions’ gaze to the Plaza and the Cathedral Basilica completed in 1797. St. Augustine is the only urban center in the US whose architecture and street plan mirror its Spanish origins.
