Longboat Key Restaurants

Longboat Key is a small town with a surprisingly storied and rich history. In the early 1900s, the island was known nearly exclusively for the fresh fruits and vegetables being grown in the area. This love of farm-to-table produce has survived throughout the generations and is apparent in the cuisine found in Longboat Key today. The fruits and veggies aren't the only things that are fresh, though. Here, local fisherman can simply cast their nets into the water and supply the seafood used in Longboat Key's cafes, pubs and fine-dining restaurants. And that storied history the town has? That means plenty of options when deciding which culture's cooking you'd like to try tonight.
