Clary's Cafe is a restaurant in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Established at 404 Abercorn Street in 1903, [1] originally as a drug store, [2] its popularity increased markedly after its appearance in both John Berendt's Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil 1994 novel and Clint Eastwood's 1997 movie adaptation. [3] [4] [5] [6]
The author of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, John Berendt, described Clary's as "a clearinghouse of information, a bourse of gossip," where he came to know the characters who would animate his narrative. [7] James Gandolfini made an uncredited appearance as the cook in the two scenes filmed at the cafe. [8]
A photograph of the cast hangs inside the restaurant, featuring Alison Eastwood (who plays Mandy), her father, Clint Eastwood (director), The Lady Chablis, John Cusack (John Kelso), Kevin Spacey ( Jim Williams) and Jack Thompson ( Sonny Seiler).
