Have some fun in Florida at a few of our favorite places to relax with a drink or grab a quick bite.
Within Walking Distance | Urban View
Located just across the street from the Inn, Ocean 302 has received rave reviews from guests, as their diverse menu and unique specials compliment the trendy, open-kitchen concept dining room, and interesting specials including Elk at one time.
We recommend the Cuban Style Roasted Pork.
This is a Port d’Hiver favorite! | River View
This is hands down the best Cuban food, outside of Miami. Located in a quaint and charmingly eclectic house on the Indian River, it’s still within walking distance to other downtown Melbourne shops and cafes.
Any one of their pizzas is well-worth the visit!
Within Walking Distance | Urban View
A new, local favorite known for its pizza and hot sandwiches. They are only open until 9pm, and only serve beer and wine.
We recommend their Naked Bowl with Rice, Black Beans and the Mayan Chipotle Sauce or their famous Slawsa!
Within Walking Distance | Urban View
Melbourne Beach’s best burritos! Owners Robb and Glenn Boykin undoubtedly bring much of the mom-and-pop café’s friendly and local charm. With its fresh ingredients, homemade salsa and guacamole recipes, and juicy, smoked beef brisket, pork, chicken or fish, their burritos can’t be duplicated or beat. Just a short 2 block walk from the Inn. Operating hours are unpredictable – check for the mannequin outside to tell if it’s open!
We recommend their Calamari (if you’re up for a little kick, try it with the Voodoo Sauce)!
Within Walking Distance | Ocean View
Known for its loud music, ocean views, sandy floors, pub food favorites, and cocktails. They are also open late.
We recommend the Bacon-Wrapped Scallops!
River View
If you’re looking for live music (mostly Jimmy Buffett cover bands!) and beautiful views of the Indian River, this is the place. It has a very casual and fun atmosphere, with a pub-type menu. They are located 15 minutes north of the Inn.
Try the Fish Tacos!
Garden View
The Mansion is a unique mix of Intracoastal views, dining and drinks, with over 100 craft beers on tap and unique spirits. It has a covered patio, indoor seating, bar, and an open rooftop. It’s located 5-10 minutes west of the Inn, near historic, downtown Melbourne.
We recommend the Prosciutto Pizza!
Urban View
A new, trendy restaurant with both a small gourmet market, and multi-level dining space, complete with an oyster and sushi bar. We love the airy, open rooftop with distant ocean views.
We recommend the Macadamia Yellowtail Snapper!
River View
With a beautiful outdoor dining space overlooking the Eau Gallie River, Frigate’s is the best of both worlds – both stylish outdoor comfort set under twinkle lights and a wide variety of fresh seafood entrees.
We recommend the Vegan Crab Cake!
Urban View
Located near Historic Downtown Melbourne, Nomad Cafe has a varied menu of international fare in a cozy space that turns more intimate by night, with a nice outside patio. They also specialize in vegetarian, vegan, and gluten and/or dairy free options.
