One of the 2 Best Lunch Restaurants in Beaufort, SC is
Herban Market and Cafe
If you haven’t been to Beaufort, SC, well, bless your heart. It’s a grand old Southern town, founded over three centuries ago. Beaufort has maintained her magical charms of yesteryear with history and warmth as piquant as her beloved Frogmore Stew.
She so captivated me on my first visit that it led to a lifetime of trips down her sea-scented streets with secret gardens, pristine 18th-century mansions with intricate iron gates, and gas-lit alleyways. The clip-clop of horses with their carriages on the roads became a lifetime memory of a place deeply rooted in history along saltwater bluffs.
Not surprisingly, Hollywood filmmakers adore Beaufort. Its formal houses and gardens, and boundaries of the river, salt marsh, and sky so surreal and cinematic have been the setting for films like The Big Chill and G.I. Jane. Movie folks also love the Sea Islands, which start just a short bridge ride from Beaufort.
Herban Market and Cafe, founded in 2019, has fast become a favorite destination in downtown Beaufort, SC with owners Anya Chase and Emily Benson serving up their own brand of deliciousness to locals and visitors. https://www.herbanmarketandcafe.com/
Banana Cream Cheesecake with Salted Caramel Topping is a favorite for both locals and visitors. It’s reminiscent of one of the South’s most quintessential desserts, Banana Pudding.
Emily says, “Whether a guest is gluten intolerant, vegan, nut-free, or whatever, I want each person to come in feeling welcome and knowing there will be something here just for them.” No one has to be excluded from the fun with all the healthy options on the menu.
