Restaurants near Matlacha

“My husband and I just enjoyed dinner there this past Saturday and my goodness!!!.. we were not only blown away by the food, wine and dessert; but the service Kelci provided! The Mullett 3 ways appetizer was incredible. The coconut encrusted mahi with pina colada rice (and don’t even get me started on the crispy scallions!) was DEVINE. To finish off with the PERFECT key lime pie was just…well, perfect! We love Blue Dog, can’t recommend enough and can’t wait to go back and truly ask for Kelci; so on it, so sweet, no rushing, helpful etc. everything positive!”

“We always say "We don't feel like we are in Florida , until we go to Micelli's" We went there 4/1/25. An excellent, friendly hostess greeted us. Had a wonderful seat by the water. We loved the breeze, boats going by, superb clam chowder, pizza and music. Great service by our waitress. Glad to be back on Matlache. Parking is tricky. We got there early. We love and recommend it highly. A favorite Florida experience. We will be back.😎😎”

“Today marked a memorable occasion, and my husband and I chose to celebrate at our beloved, favorite Masala Mantra Indian Bistro. It's our anniversary! The food and service there never fail to impress. I often find myself declaring Indian cuisine as my top pick among all the international flavors out there! The warmth of Indian hospitality is truly delightful. Our waiter, Akhil, is exceptional—his attentive and meticulous service stands out every time. The restaurant consistently maintains a pristine, fresh, and elegantly appointed atmosphere. Akhil and the manager went above and beyond to make our anniversary unforgettable. They surprised us with a scrumptious slice of mango cheesecake, adorned with a candle, and handed me a lighter to ignite it and mark the occasion! How thoughtful is that? Akhil even offered to capture some photos of us. A heartfelt thank you to the team for making us feel so valued! My husband and I highly recommend this restaurant. I wanted to share a few snapshots here. Miriam & John”

“Best Cuban sandwich I’ve ever eaten! Had a couple while visiting Florida and collados was the best by a long shot! 10/10 will be back again!”

“This place is the perfect casual relaxed Tikki bar. The guacamole is to DIE for !!!! I ordered it on the suggestion of Kat the barlass, whose service was absolutely incredible !! I followed the fresh made guacamole with the grilled ribeye and it was a perfect blend of flame kissed savorieness and a very slight scald flavor to give it some earthiness. The prices are reasonable the atmosphere is relaxed and casual. This place is worth driving out of your way for. You will NOT be disappointed!!!”

“If you haven’t tried this gem you’re missing out! From the moment we walked in to when we left, we felt like family. Staff was attentive and friendly, the food was outstanding but the bloody Mary’s my group got were a meal in themselves! A must see spot if you’re in the Cape!!”

“We love this place. Amazing authentic German food. The kids ate everything they were served. Total win!”

“We came twice in one week it was so good. They are fast paced with service and the seafood is absolutely impeccable. I will be returning every time we are in Cape Coral. The owners, two brothers, stopped at every table to ensure things were to each customers liking, even though the place was crazy busy. I will be dreaming of a he lobster and scallops for New York.”

The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always makes you feel right at home. Whether you’re grabbing lunch on the go or sitting down for a quick meal, this place never disappoints. I highly recommend The Rustic Sub Shop to anyone looking for a delicious, satisfying sub. A true local gem!”

“We had a party of seven, including three kids. we got four gyro platters and they were absolutely amazing!! Large portions and filled with delicious meat! Greek salads are always amazing! My only complaint was the kids got cheeseburgers and they were not good. For 9.25, I was hoping for better, lesson learned. But overall, absolutely amazing! I was sad to see Plaka go but Mythos is definitely a good substitute.”
