Consider one (or all) of these eateries during your stay in Siesta Key
Siesta Key is a world-famous beach destination, and for good reason. With its gentle waves, soft sand, and stunning sunset views, it’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy some time in the sun.
And when you’re ready for a break from all that sand, there are plenty of delicious restaurants to choose from.
Here are five of our favorites.
The Cottage Restaurant
The Cottage is a local favorite, known for its fresh seafood and picturesque setting overlooking the bay. If you’re in the mood for something light, try the grilled mahi mahi sandwich with a side of mango salsa. Or go for something heartier with the lobster risotto. Either way, you can’t go wrong.
Burns Court Bistro
Burns Court Bistro is a hidden gem tucked away in the charming Burns Court district of Sarasota. This European-style bistro serves up classic dishes like steak frites and coq au vin, as well as more modern fare like seared scallops with roasted brussel sprouts. Make sure to save room for dessert—the dark chocolate pot de creme is to die for.
Daiquiri Deck Raw Bar
The Daiquiri Deck is a laid-back beach bar known for its frozen cocktails and fresh seafood. The menu features all your favorite gulf coast classics like oysters on the half shell, peel-and-eat shrimp, and fish tacos. And don’t forget to try one of their famous frozen daiquiris in a souvenir cup!
Siesta Key Oyster Bar
As its name implies, the Siesta Key Oyster Bar is all about fresh seafood. This no-frills joint may not look like much from the outside, but it’s famed for its oysters, which are shucked to order and served with housemade cocktail sauce and crackers. The conch fritters are also a must-try.
Captain Curt’s Crab & Oyster Bar
Captain Curt’s is another great spot for seafood lovers. This open-air restaurant overlooks the marina, making it the perfect place to enjoy some waterfront dining. Start with an order of crab cakes or hush puppies, then move on to the main event—a steamed lobster platter or shrimp scampi pasta. Yum!
Whether you’re looking for fresh seafood, classic bistro fare, or just a frozen drink to cool off in the Florida heat, Siesta Key has a restaurant to suit your needs. So what are you waiting for? Grab your swimsuit and head on down to one of these five great spots today!
