Anna Maria Island’s three municipalities hosts many fine dining establishments each with a unique flavor to delight your palette and soothe your soul. With tasty international cuisine prepared by chefs recognized locally and internationally, meals range from elegant to casual. Island cuisine ranges from such international “Bill of Fare” as British, French, German, Italian, Oriental and Spanish to Southern Florida seafood, spicy Caribbean sandwiches and even an occasional Hawaiian Luau. Oh, yes, you can also get a good hamburger. The bounty of the gulf and bay waters provide the basics for rare culinary delights, including grouper, red snapper, mullet and blue crab.

From a romantic bistro setting to an outdoor table, Gulf or Bayside dining, local restaurants share an ambiance that embraces the sights and sounds of this island paradise and always include a free view of one of Florida’s famous Gulf sunsets.

After hours, nightclubs mix food and drink with music and dancing. Sounds of popular songs mingle with Dixieland jazz, blues, rock and roll, reggae and Caribbean music. There is a variety of entertainment for everyone to enjoy.
