My husband and I had a hard time picking a restaurant for lunch while on Sanibel Island. Everything that looked good was way too expensive! We chose the Sanibel Cafe because it is the oldest family owned and operated restaurant on the island. (We got a brochure at the Visitor's Center). There is a lot to choose from and the... more

My husband and I went for breakfast after seeing this cafe while it was closed. It looked homey and charming, good place for breakfast. We got there, were seated very promptly, and then were astounded by the breadth of the menu! We wanted to try everything, but limited ourselves to steak and eggs and Eggs Benedict. Both were very, very... more

We had blackened and battered styles. Everything was excellent except we wanted more. For lunch we had hamburgers. They were cooked as requested and tasted fresh and lean. I... more

As a local, I am very happy that the Sanibel Cafe is open during season for dinner. They have specials besides the regular menu, each night. Tonight I had Pot Roast and it was excellent! I also went a little overboard and had their homemade Bread Pudding. When the waitress brought it out, I was pleasantly surprised, as it looked... more
