Top 10 Places to Eat on Captiva Island
1.
Old
Captiva House
If you’re looking for an upscale dining experience in a
calm, relaxing atmosphere, Old Captiva House is a must. The seafood is
unbelievable, and they have everything from baked lobster risotto to Chilean
seabass and prawns. It’s the perfect date night meal!
The Green Flash has been a staple in Captiva for over 40
years, and it’s not difficult to see why. There’s nothing more relaxing than
overlooking the Pine Island Sound while indulging in Oysters Rockefeller,
pan-seared scallops, and other gourmet plates. For fine dining with beautiful
views, there’s no better option in Captiva.
This festive, quirky spot is home to some of the best
Mexican food on Captiva Island. Taking in the quirky atmosphere while enjoying
delicious frozen mango margaritas and homemade guacamole will help you get the
full experience. Did we mention that the walls are decorated with dollar bills
from floor to ceiling?
Mango’s is a casual café-style eatery on the North side of
Captiva. This family-friendly establishment offers delicious sandwiches at
affordable prices, and you can take a dip in the pool outback afterward! Don’t
forget to try the homemade chips and “boat loaded fries!”
Next to Mango's, there's The Boathouse, a pricier option for
foodies with refined tastes. In addition to their phenomenal calamari, they
offer mouth-watering steak entrees, and their dishes are presented beautifully.
There’s no better place to treat yourself.

Over the Waterfront
Located on the northern end of Captiva, Over the Waterfront
is one of Florida’s few restaurants that offers an on-the-water dining
experience. Chow down on the sun deck and enjoy island-style cuisine like crab
cakes and shrimp cocktails. You may even see some dolphins while you eat!
If you’re looking for places to eat on Captiva Island that
are off-the-beaten-track, Mainstay is the spot for you. You’ll need a boat or
water taxi to get here, but when you arrive, you’ll get to enjoy quintessential
island cuisine and creamy ice cream cones. Their mountain-high loaded fries,
Bloody Marys, and seafood tacos are also out of this world.
Located in the heart of Captiva, RC Otter’s has everything
you’ll need for an unforgettable meal out. Our favorite RC meal is the fried
fish platter with a side of tropical coleslaw and a slice of carrot cake for
dessert. We guarantee you will love the restaurant's colorful interior and
vacation-friendly atmosphere.
If you love kitschy décor, outlandish gift shops, and
cocktails served in pineapples, you can’t miss the Bubble Room! This restaurant
is one of the most beloved places to visit on Captiva Island. On top of the
great food, you'll leave feeling like you had one of the most memorable dining
experiences of your life!
There are very few places to eat on Captiva Island where you
can enjoy your meal on a picnic table with your feet in the sand. The Mucky
Duck is one of them. Here, the owners offer up island favorites like coconut shrimp,
oysters, all-American burgers, and more. Plus, the live music and gorgeous
views make this a great place to visit at sunset.
