Dining on Siesta Key is a great experience. For breakfast I recently visited Lelu’s Coffee Lounge. I love their unique menu. I tried the Costa Rican, which is two eggs your way with Lelu’s homemade Cuban style black beans & rice, & sweet fried plantains, served with Lelu’s fresh green salsa and coconut concoction for the plaintains.

Another great choice is The Garden Café, known for their healthy egg white specialty omelets and scrambles. I tried the flower child egg white omelet with Sonoma goat cheese, portabella mushrooms, tomatoes, fresh herbs & guacamole. Another great option is the sweet potato pancakes.

For lunch or dinner you cannot go wrong with Clayton’s Siesta Grille, enjoy favorites like Mahi Mahi fish tacos. Grilled flour tortillas with chipotle crema, cabbage, cilantro, jicama slaw, feta cheese and chile garlic sauce. I love the Coconut shrimp with Orange horseradish marmalade, & whipped cream cheese, as well as the seared crabcakes, with tropical fruit chutney, jicama slaw,& roasted pepper coulis.

Siesta Key Oyster Bar is another great choice. I love their unique menu choices like, wild island Mahi-Mahi with mango sauce or Siesta Beach extravaganza which includes, crab cake, blackened grouper, jerk shrimp and scallops served with yellow rice.
