North Captiva Island Dining

It is no surprise that Fresh Seafood is the favorite dish on Upper Captiva Island; with the island’s fabulous location between the Gulf of Mexico on one coast and the beautiful bay waters of Pine Island Sound on the other.

There are two restaurants on North Captiva Island, Barnacle Phil's and Mango Island Cafe.

Barnacle Phil's is located on Safety Harbor just past the airstrip and is a favorite with local anglers, sightseers, and vacationers. There is plenty of dock space to pull up to for lunch or dinner and you might even see Florida otters playing nearby and scampering about the mangroves and the docks.

A local favorite for Roberta's world-famous black beans and yellow rice, Barnacle Phil's offers indoor dining or you can eat outdoors. Their menu features Caribbean and Island favorites including seafood chowder and jerk-style fresh fish and chicken. For lunch or dinner, there are also salads and mainland favorites, as well as children's items.

A great meeting place and just about any visit will find you in the company of friendly North Captiva Island guests and locals, smiling and laughing about "the fish that got away".

Mango Island Cafe is located at North Captiva Island Club, just across the harbor in Hidden Cove. With Florida Style cuisine for lunches and dinners; dining is offered at Mango’s restaurant indoors and out, as well as poolside at Hidden Cove Pool Bar for appetizers and tropical drinks.

Pizza’s can be ordered at the Island Market located at the North Captiva Island Club. Convenience type grocery and beverages are also available at the market.

To stock up on provisions, you'll need a trip to the mainland, or stop at Publix grocery store on your way to Upper Captiva. They'll even pack your order in advance.
