Soho South Cafe - A Delicious Combination of Food and Art

The Soho South Café in Savannah is a must do on any trip to Savannah.  It could be a tie with Zunzi’s, so hopefully you have time for both – they are both only open for lunch.   Soho is located in the historic district, just off of Bull Street on Liberty Street.  The restaurant was recommended to me by a local shop worker where I bought my Georgia peach Christmas ornament.  As soon as I looked at the menu, I knew this was where I was going to enjoy my last meal in Savannah.  Once you walk in, you will know you picked the right place – it’s in an old garage, with two story ceilings, where half of the space is an art gallery…very eclectic and very cool!

I started with delicious tomato basil bisque – it was so fresh, with just a touch of cream to round out the bold tomatoes.  I’m pretty sure they are known for this soup – you can’t miss it – and a cup for $3.75 is plenty if you’ve ordered anything else.  The soup was followed by the Southwester Salad for $11, which consists of all the yummy ingredients you expect in this salad; crisp romaine lettuce, grilled corn, hearty black beans, creamy avocado, sharp cheddar cheese, topped with warm grilled blackened chicken and served with the spicy chipotle vinaigrette on the side, per my request.  Oh my!  I washed it all down with an Arnold Palmer – just make sure you ask for unsweetened ice team, if that’s your preference, since you are in the south after all; and it’s sweet tea all the way.   In addition to entrée salads, they also offer quiche, sandwiches, signature dishes and desserts.  Our total bill before tip for 1 cup of soup, two entrée salads and 2 drinks was $33.   I’m sure Soho is always busy at lunch time (we went after 2pm), so they also offer many menu items to-go at the take out counter.
