September is Amelia Island Dining Month, and Cafe Karibo as well as nine other amazing restaurants, are part of it! $55 and $75 prix-fixe menus let the island’s hottest chefs show off their culinary skills in style. And here’s the sweetest part: $1 from every Dining Month menu goes to Blessings in a Backpack, helping feed local children who face weekend hunger. That means your meal not only supports Amelia Island’s thriving culinary scene, but also brings comfort and nourishment to kids across Nassau County. It’s as good for the soul as it is for the taste buds.
