We bet we know somewhere super close that you haven’t thought of visiting: Cape Canaveral. While we don’t recommend heading near the cruise terminal when a cruise ship is embarking on its next magical journey, Cape Canaveral is home to tasty restaurants that you should definitely check out!

Here is our ultimate foodie guide to the best restaurants in Cape Canaveral!

Sand on the Beach

Enjoy tasty coastal fare oceanside. This beach-front restaurant has amazing seafood that will satisfy your entire family. Kick off the meal with an order of the bang bang shrimp to share before diving into your entrees. And here, you really can’t go wrong with anything.

All the seafood is super fresh—come on, the ocean is literally right there—so you know their entire menu was just caught. And no trip to Sand on the Beach is complete without a stop at the Bikini Bar. Sip on a refreshing mojito or a deliciously dangerous rum runner to get in the beachy spirit!

Trend Kitchen

In the mood for a little fine dining? Check out Trend Kitchen!

The menu rotates seasonally and features nightly specials. This restaurant is full of culinary creativity. Here you can enjoy unique gastronomy and preparations of your favorite flavors. From their current menu, we highly recommend the artisan charcuterie for the table and always the duck fat cheese fries to split. And we’ve been vibing with the confit duck leg but might switch it up now that the weather’s warming up for the fresh catch of the day!

The Fat Snook

This cozy, casual restaurant is perfect for when you’re looking for something delicious, laid back, and with a Caribbean flair… Is that too specific?

The Fat Snook (which is a fish, the more you know) has a menu full of fresh seafood that will have you coming back for more. What other restaurant has two different fresh catches?! Wash it down with a rose lemonade or a local brew. And we love sitting on their patio to soak up all the Florida sun while we enjoy our tasty bites.

Hours & Location

📍 2464 S Atlantic Ave, Cocoa Beach, FL 32931

Flavour Kitchen and Wine Bar

A wine bar? In Cape Canaveral? Yup!

This New York-inspired restaurant is bringing bold flavors and creative cuisine to Cocoa Beach. And their menu definitely gives off big city vibes. Like the grilled Spanish octopus and the smoked salmon nachos, but trust us when we say they’re both killer starters. We love trying all the unique chef’s creations, and we’ve not had a bad one! And listen up because you don’t want to miss this. Indulge in their Sunday brunch and receive complimentary mimosas with your brunch entree!

4th Street Fillin Station

This converted gas station is your newest hangout for you and the squad. This restaurant is perfect because it has delicious options for everyone, including vegetarians and vegans!

And whatever you order, don’t forget to try one or five of their 20+ sauces! And not only do they have a ton of sauces, but they also have a ton of beers too—over 175, to be exact! And they have a dessert bar…We think you need to experience it just for the dessert bar, but the tasty classics, tons of beer, and lots of sauces are great selling points too!

📍 382 N Orlando Ave, Cocoa Beach, FL 32931
