Once you move to Estero, you’ll immediately want to know the best places to wine and dine — without having to make the trek down to 5th Avenue in Naples.
Real talk: Estero might be booming, but it’s still underdeveloped compared to the rest of Southwest Florida. You won’t find the fine dining and trendy nightlife spots that you’ll see in Naples. It’s just as hard to find the fun beach-town restaurants of Fort Myers.
But…that doesn’t mean there’s nothing. I promise, it’s possible to discover greats places to eat in Estero. You just need to know someone in the know. Like me. Have we met yet?
Allow me to introduce myself. I hail from Chicago where there’s as many great restaurants as there are snow storms. So yeah, a lot.
Most nights, I cook dinner for my husband and myself. By Saturday evening, I’m desperate to avoid another round of dishes. As I tell my husband, either we’re going out or I’m going out. But there’s no way I’m making dinner!
So keep scrolling to find our favorite dining spots — and make sure to come back for new updates. I promise you, I plan to keep eating.
