From award-winning restaurants to waterside cafes to gourmet bistros, this cultured coastal community celebrates good food and wine in venues that take full advantage of its natural beauty and temperate climate. Diverse cuisines include French, Italian, Spanish-American, Asian and Caribbean food, with some very fine fusions thrown in the mix. You can even find restaurants here that serve healthy portions of Amish soul food. Of course, fresh seafood is the mainstay of local fare, and raw bars serving oysters, clams and mussels are everywhere. Sarasota also has dinner theaters, burger-and-beer joints out of the 50s, and a whimsical eatery where you can watch fish swim under your plate.
