Top Restaurants 15 Open Sunday near you in Punta Gorda, Florida

Eric S My favorite restaurant that Ive been to in Florida. Do not let the exterior fool you. It looks unassuming and bland on the outside. When you get inside, the atmosphere is intimate without any harsh lighting. It isnt too pretentious and also isnt too modern looking. The booths feel private and I love that. Open kitchen so you can watch the staff cook and serve if you get a good seat. The staff has always been attentive, warm, and polite without being intrusive or robotic (shout out to our server Bobby today). I have been here 4 times and Ive pushed off reviewing The Perfect Caper because Ive always been so excited to eat the beautifully plated food that I forget to take decent pictures. The food is at a level above anything Ive had in the area. The food is interesting without obnoxiously trying to go out of its way to be different. The duck and steak is wonderful, the fish has always been great, and the scallops are perfect. As far as style, it feels like classical French with some east Asian influence. I cant afford a place like The Perfect Caper super often but anytime a loved one who has an appreciation for good food visits I will take them here. Its a very special place. Especially for the Punta Gorda/Port Charlotte area where its mostly chains or restaurant conglomerates that just want to make the most money with the least amount of effort. Pictured are the duck a deux facons (duck two ways) and a snapper special with lemon, frisee, and potato cake. Both were wonderful. Great complex but balanced cocktails as well. I cannot recommend this place enough. Id apologize for gushing over this place, but its well deserved.

Chris Lynch They pack you into a barely habitable seat and cant have decent concessions. Food choices are better at a 3rd world gas station.

Richard Coradi The restaurant was crowded on the Saturday we went. We waited probably 20 minutes between sit down and receiving our meals. The biscuits and gravy are the best i have ever eaten. The eggs are pretty good too. Staff was busy as heck, but still nice enough to get anything you requested right away. I have been here a couple of times since my original post and the food and service is still very good.

Dave Bianchi I actually heard about this place reading the in flight magazine on an Allegiant flight. Sounded cool so I thought I would give it a try. We were immediately greeted with a smile and told to pick any table we would like. From there the service was very attentive and charming. We ordered drinks which were delivered immediately. The entire time we were there our server continuously checked on us to make sure we didn’t need/want anything. We ordered food and it was outstanding! It came out quickly and tasted great! We ordered three items and it was under $25! Are you kidding me! The food presentation is equal to something you see at a high end, very expensive restaurant. Great food, great service, great prices, great vibes! We will be back!

B T Bellino We really enjoyed our lunch and had high quality of authentic fresh dough products. Garlic knots and Calazone, Peroni Beer on tap and Moscato Wine We were treated like we owned the joint. If so, I would be proud to have a piece of it. My return visit was just as good!

Brittany Poder Made reservations for lunch on the outside deck absolutely gorgeous! Was our first time and have been celebrating my husband this weekend for his 60th birthday! He had a Pacific Grouper Wrap and I had Grilled Chicken Teriyaki on a croissant. Mine was overcooked and dry but server couldn’t have taken care of it any better. In no time at all I had a juicy and very tasty sandwich and I enjoyed every last bite. I will not do any kind of deduction whatsoever in my rating. Easy mistake to have happen easily and perfectly corrected. I had my hush puppies, a gorgeous view and conversation nothing else matters to me! Service was great and they were hustling hard while smiles and friendliness making sure everyone was happy. We will definitely return and soon so worth the 30 minute drive!

Lindsay Best There is nothing little about this guys pizza, heart, flavor and portions. This delicious pizzeria has top tier service, taste and experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant. I will definitely be back to try more of their menu while in this area.

John Yard Our friends just introduced us to this gem, Peace River Beer Company, in Punta Gorda. One of the BEST, authentic Thai restaurants weve found. The food was amazing! We started with edamame and crab rangoon. The crab rangoon was incredible! I think the best Ive ever had. It has a touch of their homemade panang curry in it. Jess had the panang curry, and I had the chicken basil. The panang curry was amazing and the chicken basil was very tasty. We had a taste of the chicken pad Thai and the crunchy tuna roll, both were great. Our friend swears by the fried rice, but she wouldnt share (I guess its THAT good!). They have 20 craft beers on tap and they have wine, no hard liquor. I highly suggest giving this place a try!

Sabrina Mallafre Omg. Been here twice and it doesnt disappoint. I can wait an hour for food its worth it. They recommended a donut that tastes like a cinnamon roll and it was sooo good. The food is huge portions but no grease. Im full all day. And when you think of the prices of other locations vs the portions plus grease this place is amazing and all the food is made fresh to order i got the traditional and my husband got the all gravy benny

Lori Shiner I cannot recommend this place enough! I live in Cape Coral but have been going to Punta Gorda Sunday mornings for their delicious egg sandwiches and I bring home amazing pastries for the family. Everyone Ive ever dealt with there has been amazing!! Attentive, helpful.. Definitely worth the drive!! They even have hard to find things like Babka. You wont be disappointed.

Cheryl Futch The staff, service, drinks, and food is top-notch. We sat outside and listened to the band and they were fantastic. I highly recommend the fish and chips. This place is a must if you are in the area. You will always have a great time.

Wasana Sumart Very delicious hibachi and sushi. They highlight the affordable prices, generous portions, and fresh ingredients. The staff are very friendly and nice and service was pretty quick.

W. V. F. If you’re in Punta Gorda or at Sunseeker, this Tiki Bar is a good option. It’s right at the water and has great entertainment on the weekends. Food is good and prices are Okay considering the location. There’s pool tables, games, and beach chairs outside. Service was great.

Preston Davis What a gem to find in an unlikely little strip mall. The food tastes fresh, its tasty, the staff are super friendly, and the space itself is nice and relaxing. I wish I lived closer, but Ill be back regardless. This restaurant is top tier. Take a look at the photo of the spring rolls Im posting. You see those? You can easily tell that they actually made those spring rolls in-house. Oh, and the Thai tea was a real treat, too.

Priya Ahluwalia We had a wonderful lunch experience at the newly opened Enclave at Babcock National, now open to the public and already setting a high bar for upscale dining in the area. From the moment we walked in, the ambience made an impression—elegant, welcoming, and beautifully designed with a modern clubhouse charm that elevated our entire experience. We started with the famous Brussels sprouts, and let me just say—these might be the best Brussels sprouts weve ever had. Perfectly crispy, packed with flavor, and absolutely addictive. We also tried the meatballs, which were satisfying and well-seasoned, and the chicken caprese sandwich, which offered a great balance of fresh ingredients and comforting flavors. To drink, we each ordered one of their signature cocktails—the Hibiscus Kiss and the Blueberry Martini—and both were outstanding. Bright, refreshing, and clearly crafted with care. If youre looking for a special place to dine—whether its a casual lunch, a romantic date, or a celebratory meal—Enclave at Babcock National is absolutely worth checking out. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
