Ways to Explore the Dining Scene in Sanibel Island and Naples, Florida

Jane's Garden Cafe on 3rd in Naples, an upscale city, serves an all-day breakfast menu with favorites such as Nutella crepes, sweet Belgian waffles and stuffed omelets. With its casual ambiance, this relaxing cafe is a popular place for British and American-inspired fare.

Florida is famous for fresh seafood, and lunch around this region offers many options like Timber's Restaurant and Fish Market on Sanibel Island or Skip One Seafood Restaurant in Fort Myers, just minutes from Sanibel. Skip One Seafood is the place to sample a variety of Florida favorites, including wild caught "pink gold" shrimp and fresh crab, while Timber's is a popular location for locals and serves one of the most famous desserts in Florida: key lime pie. After lunch, rent a bike to tour the beautiful beaches that line Sanibel and collect seashells to take home.

Naples is famous for its lush golf courses, pristine beaches, world-class shopping, and of course, outstanding cuisine and leisurely dining. If you want to try fresh crabs, Pinchers Crab Shack has four locations locally, including one in Naples. This casual eatery has a lively atmosphere and five varieties of crabs to sample. After dinner, you can visit the Pincher's-owned Fort Myers Beach Tiki Bar and enjoy evening cocktails right by the ocean.

For a fine dining experience in the heart of Naples, dine al fresco on the patio of Sea Salt. Sea Salt serves contemporary seafood cuisine using locally sourced, organic products. Chef Fabrizio Aielli, a native of Italy, uses the freshest ingredients available, like seafood from day-boat fishermen.
