USA Today Network Food journalists from all over the country have gathered their experience to select 2025 restaurants of the year, which include 44 places they know, love and recommend.

The Wilmington Catch Restaurant by Chef Keith Rhodes and his family made this introductory list in 2024. And this year, this is Castle Street. But there are other restaurants that are worth celebrating in New Hanover, Brunswick and Pennder counties, and here are some that could also be in such a best list.

Review: A restaurant focused on the fragrant Wilmington, called one of the best in us

Beach shop and grill

Blvd. 701 S Anderson, Topsail Beach; 910-328-6501; beachshopandgrill.com

One of the oldest restaurants of the Pender County has been a long way from the casual hot dog stand, which was in 1952, now it is a beach fine dining area with the focus of the farm to the table. Look for a season menu by chef Jim Fos and Cake Chef Gerald Hawkins and Award Wine Program.

Caprice Bistro

For 24 years, the couple behind this restaurant has served a classic French tariff in authentic bistro, atmosphere of Wilmington dinners. Although the new owners have taken over the business, staff and cooks are still in place and evenings can expect the same experience.

Eternal Sunshine Cafe

420 Eastwood Road, Wilmington; 910-791-6995; Theeternalsunshinecafe.com

The chef and owner of this breakfast restaurant and brunch has great ambitions for this restaurant. Michael Pellegrino is not content to offer typical pancakes and omelets.

The green house

Feeding on a plant base is more than a trend, but it can still be difficult to find exquisite restaurants that are dedicated to it.

They also have a greenhouse on the spot and regular hosts of special events and cooking classes.

Mana

123 Princess St., Wilmington; 910-763-5252; https://mannaavenue.com

This restaurant in the center of Wilmington recently celebrated its 14th anniversary. And if you ask the owner Billy Melon, they are better than ever. He regularly recruits talented employees who have helped develop a business, which now includes the place for music and events Bourgie Nights Next Door, the Ernest Money & Sons Cocktail, and now Yacht Club Bar Greenfield Lake. They host a wine club and innovative pop -ups. And in the kitchen you can find the chef Carson Jewl, whom Melon calls one of the best he worked with.

Perla Raw Bar

1039 Ashes Drive, Wilmington; 910-239-9094; perlarawbar.com

Probably any of Ash Aziz’s restaurants can be on the list. Around 1922, he continued to do a delicious work in the center of Wilmington and Origins was a popular way to celebrate in the evening. This snack focused on seafood has a lively and relaxed vibration and offers a fresh approach to coastal seafood in a fun dining room and an indoor/outdoor bar.

Salt64

6404 E. Oak Island Drive, Oak Island; 910-933-1019; Salt64.com

One of the most popular restaurants of Brunswick opened only two years ago. Cooks in a prominent place present their favorite to the south as fried green tomatoes and shrimp and sand, as well as classic steak and seafood preparations.

Sandy

103 Lake Park Blvd S., Carolina Beach; 910-636-3082; www.instagram.com/thesandspurcb

This restaurant and bar are really two dining establishments in one. During the busy season and on weekends, the menu focuses on the high quality food of the pub like fish taco and burgers. But chef Brad Royal also makes the most of his fine balance (and the small cuisine of the restaurant) to offer a variety of special offers that change daily.

Savorez

402 Cestnut St., Wilmington; 910-833-8894; savorez.com

This restaurant is a perennial favorite in downtown Wilmington. The local chef and owner Sam Kahun offers a unique taking of Latin synthesis, for dishes such as AHI Tacos, a crunchy quinoa bell and vegan relation. They are also a particularly popular brunch service on Sunday

Seabird
