5 Fort Myers Restaurants You Have To Try On Vacation

When most people think of vacationing in Fort Myers, they think about sun and surf, not a culinary experience. But what if we told you that you could have all three?

Fort Myers is actually a hub for amazing restaurants. And just like everything else there, Fort Myers restaurants are built right into the hot tourist areas, so you don’t even need to travel that far for them!

Planning a vacation can get complicated, and we want you to have an easy time mapping out your holiday, so we’ve compiled a list of the 5 best restaurants in Fort Myers, Florida for you.

Let’s talk about that.

Cuisine

Before we present our list to you, we want to talk a little about the local life, so you know what kind of culinary experience you’re stepping into.

Fort Myers is a beach destination. That being said, seafood is a giant part of their cuisine.

They have all the basics – Italian, Mexican, Chinese. But to really experience the best they have to offer, you’re going to want to stick with steakhouses and seafood places.

If you are traveling as a family, they also have some family fun restaurants, which we will include in the list. If it is more of a romantic getaway, you might want to check out their bars and nightclubs.

Either way, there is a place for every kind of eater there is. And if you’re picky – no problem! Just take a look at their menus before heading in.

Let’s get to it!
