A Taste of Warmth and Wonder

A Taste of Warmth and Wonder

Consider this a chance to savor fresh beginnings, the start of a new year, and what better place to usher in delightful moments than here at The Shops at Sea Pines Center? In the heart of the original dream that became a world-class resort, The Shops at Sea Pines Center brings together a collection of charming restaurants and cafés that offer a choice for every mood, from an amusing snack to dining as an art form.

Welcome the year ahead with meals that not only satisfy, but also enrich your soul – a true celebration of care, quality, and creativity.

Whether you’re a Sea Pines resident, a familiar guest, or a new visitor, treat yourself to a dining experience that combines the warm hospitality of a peaceful coastal community with the vibrant flavors of culinary craftsmanship. From serene al fresco lunches to inviting evening dinners, The Shops at Sea Pines Center offer a haven where every dish tells a story, and every table feels like home.

Lowcountry Produce

This local favorite brings farm-to-table dining right to your plate. With heirloom recipes and seasonal ingredients, Lowcountry Produce captures the spirit of Hilton Head’s storied culinary heritage. It’s the perfect spot for a hearty breakfast, leisurely lunch, or a quick snack to fuel your island adventures. At breakfast, the brioche French toast, and at lunch, the Carteret chicken sandwich are the stuff of local legend.

Pro Tip: Pick up a jar of house-made preserves or pickles to take the taste of the Lowcountry home with you.

C’est Bon

A delightful nod to French-inspired breakfasts and desserts, C’est Bon is where mornings begin on an elegant note. Indulge in buttery croissants and steaming cups of specialty coffee. The ambience is irresistibly cozy, making every visit feel like a little trip to a sidewalk café.

Inside Info: The fresh chicken salad at C’est Bon is one of the two contenders for “best on the island.” Order early for lunch because residents sometimes get it all for themselves.

Truffles Café

Longtime residents know Truffles as Sea Pines’ crown jewel for dining, Their menu reflects the finest fresh and local ingredients available. From succulent seafood to masterfully grilled steaks, the dishes here are as exquisite as the setting. The fresh-baked bread they bring to your table is so distinctive that a European grandma we knew – who cooked everything else herself, at home – made a point of picking up a loaf of warm Truffles bread for special family dinners.

Evening Tip: Unwind with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc as twilight falls and bask in the refined atmosphere of this exceptional establishment.

Chow Daddy’s

For a casual meal or a memorable lunchtime, Chow Daddy’s is really good fun. “Tacos – Burgers – Bar” is how they sum it up, and yet this it too modest indeed. Fresh, local ingredients and even gluten-free dishes suggest there is great skill behind the fun at Chow Daddy’s.

Those Who Know: Cocktails at Chow Daddy’s are a point of pride. Sample the expertise and hear your friends suggest a return visit.

Giuseppi’s

When it’s time for pizza or pasta, then it seems that nothing else will do. If that’s the mood that strikes you, then Giuseppi’s has been Hilton Head Island’s best answer for as long as anyone we know can remember. On the island of Manhattan, there are countless pizza places with “Original Ray’s” above the door. On Hilton Head Island you may discover there are a couple or three Giuseppi’s – but the one in Sea Pines Center is definitely the original and unsurpassed – 45 years of The Best Pizza Ever.

A Little Secret: The toasted sub sandwiches at Giuseppi’s are delicious – if someone in your party is not thinking about pizza or pasta or calzones.

Eat, Connect, and Belong

Dining at The Shops at Sea Pines Center isn’t just about the food – it’s about the shared memories that meals create. Picture this: children’s laughter at the next table, a toast to new beginnings, warm smiles exchanged over the day’s freshest catch. Here, each meal becomes an opportunity to relax, connect, and celebrate the community that makes Sea Pines unique.
