Top 10 Places to Eat on Sanibel Island
1.
Doc
Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille
Doc Ford’s is a Sanibel staple, so it only makes sense that
it would come first on our list. This beloved island restaurant is known for
its jumbo shrimp and grits, mason jar mojitos, and delectable key lime pie! Your
vacation wouldn't be complete without a stop here.
If you’re a fan of colossal burgers and old-fashioned patty
melts, a visit to The Island Cow is a must. They also draw crowds for their
Cowa Bunga breakfasts, complimentary fresh-baked muffins, and cozy, family-friendly
atmosphere.
Looking for a place to eat on Sanibel Island that offers
upscale food in a quirky setting? The Mad Hatter is the perfect choice! You
won’t regret traveling down this rabbit hole to soak up waterfront views and
devour mouthwatering entrees like black grouper.
Speaking of rabbits, don’t forget to check out 400 Rabbits
during your visit to Sanibel. This hip Mexican restaurant is the perfect
date-night spot, and you'll be talking about the pineapple-topped guacamole for
hours afterward.
If you just spent a long day at the beach and you’re hungry
for hearty food in a casual setting, you’ll love Gramma Dot’s. Here, you can
enjoy peaceful views of Sanibel's marina while dining on delicious sandwiches
and fried seafood.
Planning an anniversary or birthday dinner for someone
special? Cielo, an elegant restaurant and bar on Sanibel, offers guests rich
gourmet plates, fancy cocktails, and live piano music! It is hands-down one of
the best places to eat on the Island.
Sometimes, nothing will satisfy you except a giant pizza pie
covered in gooey, oozing cheese! No matter how many times we visit, we never
grow tired of this no-frills pizza joint.
At Traders, you and your family can enjoy live entertainment
and coastal-style dishes like pan-blackened mahi and shrimp scampi. Don’t
forget to check out the unique gift shop on your way out!
For beautiful, oceanfront views and award-winning dishes,
look no further than Thistle Lodge. Located in the Casa Ybel resort, this
historic gourmet restaurant has even hosted esteemed guests like Thomas Edison
and Henry Ford. If you’re planning to check out the resort, Coconuts Poolside
Bar & Grill is also worth a visit.
Start your morning off right by indulging in fresh-squeezed
orange juice, sizzling bacon, and a stack of homemade hot cakes at the
Lighthouse Café! There’s no better place to get breakfast on the Island.
Afterward, take a drive down to the Sanibel Lighthouse, which was built in
1884. The small beach there is a great place to relax and you might even see a
few herons if you're lucky!
