Breakfast on Siesta Key is always good at The Broken Egg where maple syrup is "real" and a dollop of butter melts into a plate-size buckwheat pancake. Dick Vitale is often seen eating an omelet at one of their three locations.
For dining on the water, Ophelia’s on the Bay is perfect for that special occasion. You may even notice Stephen King (author of The Shining) seated in a remote location.
Did you know he lives on Casey Key?
Miguels, Javier’s and Café Blaze are also good choices.
Off Island
North Bridge from Siesta Key
If wanting to do a little shopping with a little Italian and Martini, Cosimo’s at Southgate Mall is convenient and a very good choice.
Hillview Avenue – on the way to downtown
Going north on Osprey from the north bridge is an "in-crowd" pocket of chic restaurants at Southside Village on Osprey and Hillview Avenues. Pacific Rim, Knick’s Tavern and Libby’s are the most popular with all three offering outdoor dining.
Downtown Sarasota’s Main Street has plenty of action with eateries, bars and nightlife. Places like Mattison’s City Grill and Divino Restaurant offer great food and live entertainment while Ceviche’s Tapas Bar, and Award winning Bijou Cafe continue the trend on... First Street.
Other good eating establishments downtown are Mediterraneo, Selva Grill, Caragiulo’s, Barnacle Bills, Café Epicure, Patrick’s and C’est La Vie.
Looking for water views?
Marina Jack’s is right on Sarasota’s bay front with a spectacular second floor view while the Ritz Carlton features a less expansive view at the Bay View Burger Bar.
O’Leary’s Tiki Bar at Centennial Park’s Sarasota bayfront is a great place to mix and mingle to the sounds of island vibes.

Plan to spend at least a few evenings at St. Armand’s Circle, on Lido Key. It's fun, safe and shops stay open for that after a good meal...stroll. Enjoy a cocktail and listen to piano tunes at Crab and Fins patio lounge. An established landmark for years, the Crab and Fin and Café L’Europe excel in food, service and ambiance and the Columbia with comfortable outdoor seating offers excellent Spanish food as does Le Colonne’s northern Italian offerings.
Taking the south bridge off Siesta, go right on Tamiami Trail and make a left at the first traffic light to Gulf Gate Drive.
Gulf Gate with offshoots on Superior, Gateway and Mall Drives feature a fantastic selection of eateries and haunts. Ranging from pub food, French, Italian to Japanese and Vegetarian, there’s Oh Mamma Mia, Paris to Budapest, Vizen, French Affair, Veg, and so much more.
Do you have a teen in tow?
Sarah’s Breakfast and Lunch Café becomes The
Nightlife Center where teens can hang-out, play pool and listen to music. Cross the same south bridge and it’s one block north on your left. It’s a wonderfully safe environment with smoothies, munchies and good clean fun.
