Food snobs often make the drive all the way from Fort Myers just to sample Sanibel’s fine collection of restaurants. Even the most casual and inexpensive family eateries here turn out delicious, expertly prepared fare. The cute Sanibel Cafe at Tahitian Gardens dishes up Havarti omelets and fresh squeezed OJ that has become local legend. Picnics on shell-strewn beaches are popular ways to enjoy yummy deli sandwiches and baked goods from both Bailey’s General Store, Jerry’s of Sanibel and Huxter’s Deli and Market. Or, for a bona fide cheeseburger in paradise, you can island hop to the Cabbage Key Inn, where the rustic house bar serves up mouth watering treats famous the world over.

Hungry Heron

With a menu of nearly 300 items, TV’s playing a stream of cartoons, and a breakfast buffet on weekends, it’s no surprise the Hungry Heron is the island’s most popular eatery for young families. Kids enjoy the “Polka Dot Mac and Cheese”, and adults enjoy the delicious seafood and steaks.
