11 Best Vegan Restaurants near Captiva

“This place is THE place to get good Mexican food and margaritas, first off the atmosphere is amazing with all the dollars signed and stapled to the wall, the colorful vibes, friendly staff and amazing food and drinks! I will be visiting this every year I come to this beautiful little piece of heaven on earth.“

“Old Captiva House shows its age in a classy refined way. Historic, elegant, with wonderful food prepared and presented well. This last visit was the first time I experienced a slip in service. We made reservations in advanced, the reservation slip was on the hostess stand, but we were delayed getting a table. The hostess seemed way too flustered and ineffective. An elderly gentleman stepped in and had what appeared to be a minor confrontation with the hostess in front of us and then he brought us to our table. Typical experience of a large chain cheap restaurant. Not the service expected at an elegant dining establishment. Overall, still 4 out of 5 experience. That night, not their typical 5 out of 5 memorable experience. I guess every place has off moments.“

“Oh, I so hope the best for the owner rebuilding this perfect restaurant after vicious Ian. This place rates a 5 in all areas! I breakfast here basically every morning regardless how many weeks I stay on Sanibel. Good luck and I’ll be back as soon as possible!??“

“The food is amazing and you can tell everything is made with fresh, quality ingredients. We tried the Mermaid, Slawpy Hog, & Big Tex with the Mediterranean orzo salad and watermelon cucumber salad. Everything was delicious and the service was even better-so friendly!! I highly recommend you check them out.“

“We stopped in on Friday after a long day at the Sanibel beach, and after thinking it was to good to be true, we returned on Saturday just to be sure! Cajun & Creole is my absolute favorite food so I couldn’t wait to try this place! I was amazed from the start! The atmosphere is awesome with authentic New Orleans feel and decor! There is outdoor seating, balcony seating, and 2 floors of indoor seating. But the food is where we were really amazed! We tried just about everything on the menu from appetizers to deserts. The Bayou Shrimp were huge and the freshest quality I’ve had. The Shrimp Cargot were also amazing. Not sure if the Remoulade is made in house but it is phenomenal! We tried the Chicken and Andouille Gumbo and it was loaded with both! We also had the Crab & Corn bisque and there had to be a pound of crabmeat in each bowl! It was soooooo good!!! All of the pastas were great! My son had the crawfish Mac & cheese twice! The swamp pasta was one of the most diverse dishes I’ve ever had and possibly the best dish I’ve ever had! I did add a crab cake to it for a few extra dollars. The shrimp Po boy had 12 giant fried shrimp and thin cut pickles (I hate pickles but these were toooo good not to eat!). Again it came with the amazing Remoulade! The catfish Po boy had 4 LARGE fillets of perfectly fried Cajun catfish, lettuce, pickles and of course Remoulade. My wife got the shrimp platter and had them shaken in Buffalo Sauce with a side of the ranch. We wrapped up with the Cajun Beignets drizzled with chocolate and they were the best I’ve ever had! Can’t believe I’m saying this but I’m pretty sure Mudbugs is now officially my favorite restaurant on earth! I wish we had tried it sooner and ate there a few more times! I can’t wait to go back and try the Ribeye dragged through the Bayou! (Dragged through the Bayou is cooked with Cajun Garlic butter and covered in crawfish tails or shrimp ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️) The drinks were great! The atmosphere is awesome! The staff was very friendly, quick and very precise! Location is on the main road and the parking is very convenient. I wish I had pictures to share, but honestly we were too hungry to stop for pictures and everything was soooooo good that we didn’t wait for the camera to come out! I cannot wait to get back!“

“Love island pizza! All the food groups a flavors to make everyone happy!“

“A hidden secret on Pine Island. Great water views, wonderful staff, and neat atmosphere along with great drinks and food. Our server Karley did a fantastic job taking care of us. While the traffic was horrendous getting there because of the bridge construction don’t let that keep you from trying out this spot. We will definitely be returning before we head back to Ohio!!!“
