Punta Gorda Flavors
Punta Gorda as a small city is both historically rich and forward thinking, and this is reflected in our featured restaurants. The array of experiences and cuisine types have one thing in common: they're all authentically created with passion and care by their chefs and restaurant founders.
Adventure awaits at a genuine Florida crab shack, a true Irish Public House, and a history-steeped restaurant with an eye toward innovation.
Indulge!
A literal slice of Ireland in downtown Punta Gorda, the Celtic Ray is an experience, from the Guinness to the food. And don't miss Saint Patrick's Day at The Ray, if you can help it!
Authentically Old Florida, Peace River Seafood is the only place to get blue crabs fresh out of the water. First they'll teach you how to open the crab, then you'll grab a mallet and dive in. Few things are more satisfying!
There's a sense of history and tradition seamlessly fused with innovation in the curated menu at Winesett House, because the owner and chef, Travis Winesett, is a native with deep roots in the community.
