Food Scene

I love the French atmosphere and great food served here. They have "create-your-own" salads and fantastic mussels and oysters. You can't go wrong with the flounder either. Great service and great wine and and outdoor seating area as well.

Britt's Donuts is located on the boardwalk in Carolina Beach. If you like donuts than you won't want to miss this shop!! Be prepared for a line, but it is worth the trip and the wait as they have been voted many times on the "America's Best" lists. And another thing, it is only open during the summer months.
