Your next trip to Marco Island is sure to be a memorable one. There will be tons of time exploring the Marco Island beaches, learning about the fascinating history of the area, and finding the perfect souvenir to bring home with you. But during the first two weeks of June, Marco Island turns into a food lover’s paradise. While you’re staying in one of our Marco Island beachfront rentals, you have to take some time to visit the Sizzle SWFL Restaurant Week festivities.
What is Sizzle SWFL Restaurant Week?
Sizzle SWFL Restaurant Week brings together some of the greatest restaurateurs from the Marco Island area and allows locals and visitors to sample the best food around. This two-week, charity-driven event is perfect if you’re looking to get a full look at the area’s food scene while supporting the local economy and community.
You may expect an event like this to cost an arm and a leg, but it’s surprisingly affordable! The hard-working people at Sizzle SWFL Restaurant Week want this event to be as accessible as possible, and the participating restaurants work to keep costs low.
The fixed-price menus available throughout the event cost just $16 or $21 for a two-course lunch and $26 or $36 for a three-course dinner!
What Restaurants are Participating?
Sizzle SWFL Restaurant Week showcases popular eateries from Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Estero, Naples, Fort Myers, and Marco Island. Some restaurants choose to participate with only one meal, while some will choose to offer both lunch and dinner. No matter what kind of cuisine you like, you’ll find it here!
Of course, you can expect some of the area’s best seafood. Naples Coastal Kitchen, Ocean Prime, The Pearl Steak and Seafood Restaurant, Marco Prime Steak and Seafood, and Bayside Seafood Bar & Grill are just a few of your options in this category. Considering Italian? Try Ristorante Ciao, Cirella’s Italian Bistro, or Angelina’s Ristorante. Other globally-inspired eateries include K-Rico Mexican Grill, Mediterrano, Cote D’Azur, Chez Guy Parisian Bistro, and BHA! BHA! Persian Bistro.
Whether you’re in the mood for something upscale and elegant or you just want a taste of some well-made American comfort food, there’s sure to be an option for you! All of the menus will be listed on Sizzle’s website, so you can see exactly what each restaurant will be providing. This makes it easy to plan your days to get all the best food!
Even if you’ve come out to this event before, it’s worth it to make a return trip! You’ll have the opportunity to try some new restaurants that are participating in addition to returning to your favorites. The menus for these events change seasonally, so even if you do go back to a restaurant where you’ve already dined, you’ll find some new (but equally delicious!) selections on the menu.
