When many of us travel, we don’t want to eat at the same chains we always seem to gravitate towards. In a new and exotic place, our souls and stomachs crave the chance to try dishes and food of which we never even knew existed. Sometimes this is a fancy restaurant lit by flickering candles, or perhaps an exotic Indian place with flavors that set the tongue on fire. For others still, it’s perhaps a chance to try seafood straight from the source as crashing waves play a symphony to your meal. Well, for those foodies amongst us, Cape Coral is sure to have some eateries that will have you talking for years to come, and we’ve put together the top five Cape Coral restauants!
4 Sestras Bistro
When we are on vacation, and rushing between activities on the beach, we can sometimes find it difficult to find the time to have a proper sit-down meal. For these occasions, 4 Sestras Bistro has your back, as they are the perfect to-go option, featuring a wide selection of sandwiches, salads, and soups. They have all the usuals you might find at a bistro; however, they have made sure to add a few interesting options such as Lobster and Shrimp Mac & Cheese, Blackened Chicken Caesar Wraps, Creole Shrimps and Grits, etc. They even have plenty of options for the vegetarian in your group as they have several vegetable-based dishes and wraps! If you find your traveling with a large group, or perhaps you are just especially hungry, make sure to inquire about their family sized options which are sure to leave you and your guests stuffed and wishing they had more room to continue enjoying the fantastic meal you found here. So, when you are finding yourself exploring and needing a quick bite on the go, make sure to stop by 4 Sestras Bistro as you just may find yourself a new regular!
Point 57
There are times when we don’t really want to try anything exotic or new, but rather want to stick to the American foods we have grown up with and love. What’s more, there are certain times where all you really want is a nice juicy steak with a steaming baked potato. Well, Point 57 is sure to have something to satisfy your rumbling stomach. They pride themselves in their selection of Contemporary American cuisine with a splash of influence from the Florida coast and a sprinkling of Southern flair. The result is American foods and dishes that are somehow made to feel new and like you’ve never had them before. There is of course the delectable Filet Mignon and Ribeye, but they also have classics such as Beef Stroganoff and Shrimp Scampi! If you come for lunch, you can even have the classic Philly Cheesesteak. Not only this, but you will be able to enjoy your meal with a wide selection of drinks ranging from fresh takes on classics like the Manhattan to new and exciting drinks like the fruity Florida 57. However, come on Sunday and you’ll be treated to bottomless mimosas and bubbles! So, make sure you take the time to find out why locals, and tourists alike, have been flocking here since 2017.
Slates
Fine dining is one of those things that comes with a certain expectation. One may think of beautiful plates of food which looks more like art then cuisine. Others may think of the intimate, candle-lit environment with waitstaff who truly make you feel special. Well, Slates brings all this and more, ensuring that anyone who journeys here will be leaving with a smile on their face and a stomach which is content. At Slates, you not only get the intimacy that comes with this dining, but it also manages to bring in the warm and friendly feel that many people love about more casual dining. Thus, you are sure to have the best of both worlds, on top of getting to try authentic New Orleans food, including but not limited to gumbo, etouffee, and seafood pastas! Not only is the food seeking to bring a bit of the New Orleans groove to the typical dishes one might see at fine dining, but they even serve classic cocktails that one would not expect to find in Cape Coral such as a Brandy Milk Punch! However, locals don’t just come for the food; many come for the music and dancing that occurs every weekday in their Jazz Club—no cover charge! So, come to Slates and not only jam out to the grooves of jazz, but do so with delightful food and an atmosphere you can’t find elsewhere!
Nice Guys
If you are looking for something new and unique, and a tale you’ll be telling your friends about back home, then Nice Guys is exactly what you are looking for. Not only is this pizza bar unique with its punk theme, but you will find pizzas and dishes that you never thought would, or could, be made. For instance, why not dig into a delicious truffle pizza, or even their Sonora Dog Pizza made with bits of hot dog! However, even if you’re a vegetarian, you will find something to delve into such as vegetable pizzas and garlic knots! If you are truly looking to get a bit experimental and try something new, or perhaps have a pleasant flashback to your days at the fair, then try their deep-fried Oreos! Come on Wednesday nights and try your hand at trivia and show you and your friends just how knowledgeable and studious you are. While you are here with us, make sure you take the time to see why Nice Guys has been making quite the name for itself.
House of Omelets
There are many diners one could go if they have a craving for breakfast fare, and there are even more options during the lunch session. However, House of Omelets stands a champion of both these. Not only do they serve both breakfast and lunch, both of which are delectable, but they were voted best in Cape Coral for six years straight! Once you sit down and look around it’s easy to see why this would be the case. Not only do they serve several of the breakfast classics from fully loaded breakfast burritos to French toast smothered in syrup and butter, but they also have a wide selection of specialty omelets which take a unique spin on what one would consider a traditional breakfast. For instance, why not really go out of the ordinary and try their Chicken Cordon Blue or Texan Omelet! However, at House of Omelets, even our vegan friends out there can still enjoy a wide range of vegetarian options such as wraps, pitas, gyros, and more. For the carnivores amongst us, there is a wide range of both juicy half-pound angus beef burgers as well as marble rye melts. So, if you’re here visiting us make sure you spend at least one unforgettable breakfast here as you sip mimosas and Bloody Marys and enjoy omelets and meals you truly can’t find anywhere else.
