We get it! Not everyone has the time, means or inclination, especially lately, to hop on a plane or plan a road trip Beyond Brevard.
One way you can capture the feeling of traveling far from home – if only for a brief few hours – is to seek out restaurants offering ethnic eats: savory curries from India with basmati rice and garlic naan bread; a foamy sweet Cuban coffee with guava and cream cheese pastry; hearty Irish beef stew with pumpernickel bread; or perhaps a grill-fired plate of meze from your favorite Greek restaurant.
However you like to travel for your food, or bring it home for special suppers, here’s a selection of local places offering a getta-outta-Brevard kind of feel that we think you’ll like…
