Most of the restaurants in SW Florida have seafood options as we are right on the Gulf of Mexico. In addition to the restaurants, there are many fishmongers and markets where you can find local, fresh seafood options. Florida is known to have many crab and fish sacks. In SW Florida, we are known for our grouper (try a fried grouper sandwich!).

Florida is frequently referred to as the “melting pot” of cultures and ethnicities. In the Cape Coral area that is shown in not only our restaurants, but in our bakeries, too! There is no shortage of breads, pastries, and desserts to accompany your meals. We recommend the chocolate eclair at Amore, you won’t regret it!

So, you’re craving a steak? Fortunately for you we have local options to try, or if you would rather stick to a chain steakhouse you are familiar with, we have that, too. Our personal favorite at Vesteva is Bubba’s Roadhouse & Saloon but be prepared for a rustic experience. We recommend pairing your steak with onion rings or their loaded fries.

Live entertainment is a big perk of Florida. You may see performers of all different kinds but primarily singers and bands. In fact, most restaurants post their entertainment schedule online so you can plan when to visit accordingly. Calling ahead is always an option, too. Enjoy a free show with your meal!
