We researched and found this highly recommended French 'take out' spot in the historic district - Papillote. The restaurant lived up to the hype! Our lunch started with 3 amazing macarons! Perfectly prepared and airy, we had a hard time not going back for a second round! For lunch, Bill had the Catalan Pizzette and Mark selected The Happy Pig (both pictured below). The dishes were prepared perfectly and simply yummy! The staff was also incredibly friendly -- a great find and a great start to our trip.
After checking into our B&B, we headed out to Tybee Island to try and soak up some sun. Unfortunately, the temps dropped and the winds picked up, but we still relished in a quick return to the ocean and beach. What trip to Tybee would be complete without a quick stop at well-known Crab Shack. While we passed on food and decided only to take in the sights and a quick drink, it was a first for Mark and a 'must do' experience.
For Mark's pre-birthday meal, we couldn't pass up one of our favorite cook's spot -- yes, Paula Deen's The Lady and Sons. While we know this is the must-go -to touristy place in Savannah, neither of us had been in the past. We both elected for the buffet of southern favorites. Mark, a GA native, commented that they were every bit as good as his Nannie's. (That is high praise by the way!) While we both ate far more than we needed to and I am sure both ingested at least a stick of butter each, we truly enjoyed our meal. The service was also very attentive.
A great start to our trip -- tomorrow is Mark's birthday so sure to be many more adventures in store!
