Camille's Seafood & Sushi Restaurant

Destin is known for its beautiful beaches, challenging golf courses and trendy shops, but when the sun goes down its culinary flare rises. Destin is home to some of the finest dining establishments in the world and the options are endless. From steak to seafood, spaghetti to enchiladas, Destin has it all.

This brings us to the all-so-perplexing question: Where do we eat? I’ll tell you a little secret! When the locals are in the mood for delicious food we head over to Camille’s at Crystal Beach. Camille’s is located on Scenic Highway 98, tucked away on the second floor of The Beachside Inn. Just up the stairs and through the door you’ll find yourself in a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere like none other.

Camille’s serves up an eclectic fare of seafood and local favorites, such as Barbeque Shrimp, Crab Cakes, and a 12-ounce Certified Angus Ribeye sure to make your mouth water. With an extensive wine list and tantalizing daily specials there is something to wet everyone’s appetite. Enjoy your meal inside, with a breath-taking view of the ocean or on the two outdoor patios relaxing to the sounds of the Gulf.

Stop by Camille’s sushi bar for the greatest sushi around. That’s right; people come from all over to enjoy delicacies such as Uni, Toro, and Blue Fin Tuna. How about a sake bomb or cocktail at the bar? Have some laughs with the sushi chefs and bartenders, as well as the locals who come here often.

At Camille’s you’ll never see a stranger, just friendly faces enjoying good food and good spirits in a casual atmosphere. Camille’s serves up delicious food at a great price for lunch and dinner everyday, making it a best kept secret in Destin.
