History meets modern cuisine in Savannah; the restaurants themselves tell a story. Take , originally built in the late 1700's by a Revolutionary War hero. It's Georgian architecture houses a top-notch restaurant that's said to be haunted.

Or there's The Pirate's House, a famous restaurant frequented by pirates who sailed the Caribbean in 1794. Legend has it, events at the restaurant were the inspiration for Robert Lewis Stevenson's Treasure Island.

Just a few blocks away sits Moon River Brewing Company, housed in a former hotel that catered to the likes of James Audubon and the Marquis de Lafayette. (These days, the building is also a top pick for those looking for a paranormal sighting.)

Food Network star Paula Deen also calls Savannah home. She owns The Lady & Son's Restaurant with her sons Jamie and Bobby Deen in the historic district.

But don't let the Hostess City's history fool you, it's just as easy to find a modern menu than it is a piece of history. There are sushi bars, jazz clubs, outdoor cafes and hip coffee shops.

Whether you're looking to try something new, or savor your favorite flavors, Savannah's many restaurants have a lot to offer.
