Lido Key · Gulf-side dining since 2011
Fresh seafood, wood-fire grill, a wine list shaped by what's in the boat that morning. Reservations recommended on weekends.
Our story
Elena Vasquez opened Coastal Cafe in 2011 after a decade in New Orleans kitchens and a year cooking on a charter boat. The menu changes by what comes in. The bread is baked here. The wine list is short and useful.
"If it wasn't in the water last week, it's not on the plate tonight."
