“challenge your taste buds”
Experience the award-winning Sweet Melissa's Cafe, Sanibel Island. Serving lunch and dinner, this is a culinary journey of epic proportions! Executive Chef Melissa Talmage challenges your taste buds to explore a creative menu with a wide array of different tastes, textures and eclectic ingredients. Named "Best Dining in Lee County" by Gulf Shore Life, the dinner menu offers entrees in full portions or "small plates" giving diners the ability to enjoy multiple dishes in one visit. Sweet Melissa's menu consists of trend-setting fare including fettuccine and clams with fennel and Pernod (pear'-no, a flavorful liqueur similar to ouzo), crispy soft-shelled crab, bourbon-glazed pork belly and pan-seared duck breast. Don't miss the Fish Stew! Described as "exploding with goodness" by one reviewer, the dish features mahi-mahi or redfish combined with scallops, shrimp, clams, mussels, chorizo and fennel, accented with a lemony saffron cream. This former specialty dish is now a regular item on the menu, in response to diner demand.
You can get a lot of great specials here that feature local fare and taste DELICIOUS. I really recommend grabbing them, if you're open to exploring. There's also more traditional fare that may suit you. The thing ot be aware of is that this is not a dessert place, it's a restaurant.
