Published On: August 25, 2017|Categories: Blog, Clearwater|Tags: Clearwater, Restaurants|

Restaurant selections in Clearwater are abundant, so narrowing it down can be a bit tough, especially with the growling stomachs of busy beach-goers. Fortunately, we’ve found the top three restaurants in Clearwater, each of which offers a fantastic menu and great ambience.

Marina Cantina

Marina Cantina is a great choice, offering indoor, outdoor, and rooftop dining with picturesque views of the boats entering and leaving the marina. While enjoying the view and crunching on homemade chips and salsa, you can then begin the tough choices: ceviche or quesadillas, carne asada, lobster enchiladas, braised short ribs, or perhaps the grouper del sol. These are just a few of the menu options their diners often praise. Gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options are available as well.

Shorty’s Breakfast and Gourmet Deli

Shorty’s Breakfast and Gourmet Deli is considered quite the find with their convenience store set up in front and restaurant in the back featuring outdoor tables on the water. Breakfast favorites include the pork-lover omelet, buttermilk pancakes, and waffles. Gazpacho ceviche, a variety of pork dishes made from pork they roast on-site, and a spinach salad featuring a mango-basil dressing are just a few other specialties. They also offer gluten free bread and are happy to cook your fresh seafood catch.

Pearly’s Beach Eats

For a lower priced option few places can rival the casual, fun, and hip atmosphere of Pearly’s Beach Eats. This gem features exclusively outdoor seating with surfboard tables and a wide ranging menu including fish tacos, pork burritos, blackened shrimp tacos, baja bowls, and beer. Gluten free and vegetarian options are available, too!
