Cape Coral, Florida
Lee County · 429 restaurants
Cape Coral is one of Florida's fastest-growing cities, and its 400+ restaurants are expanding to keep pace with a booming population. Known as a "Waterfront Wonderland" for its 400+ miles of canals, the city's dining scene leans family-friendly and casual, with a growing concentration of restaurants along Cape Coral Parkway and the Del Prado corridor. The post-Hurricane Ian recovery has brought new energy and new restaurants to a community determined to rebuild stronger.

Important context for city pages
City pages are comparison tools built from public Florida DBPR inspection data. They help surface local patterns quickly, but they are not official government rankings and they should not replace reading the individual restaurant page before making a decision.
