Lee County

Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and the barrier islands of Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach make Lee County a year-round dining destination. With over 2,000 restaurants serving a mix of retirees, winter visitors, and a growing year-round population, the county's food scene has evolved significantly — especially as Southwest Florida continues to rebuild and grow after Hurricane Ian. Seafood remains king, but the county's increasingly diverse population has brought a wider variety of cuisines to the table.
