Hi John
Do you mean chain type restaurants? Yes the Outback, Olive Garden etc are in Port Charlotte which is 25 mins away.

However one of the great things about the Rotonda/ Englewood area is the variety of independent restaurants. Ten minutes in any direction you will come to Ephesus -wonderful Greek/Turkish food, Prime Time -steaks & Mexican, Nicolas - Italian.

Then there are Lock n Key, the Waverley & Sand Bar Tiki Grill all across from Englewood Beach.

Drive up to Dearborn Street (20 mins) with at least 7 restaurants - our favourites are Mango Bistro & Zeekes.

There are plenty of seafood restaurants off Placida Rd with Johnny Leverocks & The Lighthouse Grill clear favourites with visitors & locals.

Many of the local restaurants have live music in the evenings. Most villa owners have information books with details of the many restaurants on offer. We ask our guests to recommend new places ( we can't visit all of them) or to comment on their experiences. 😜

You can also go on Trip Advisor and get information on the top restaurants in the area.

Enjoy 😎

We have booked a 2 bed house in Bradenton for next August. We booked via Expedia but it's a HomeAway booking. I think we're staying in what is a mainly residential area, but it was a lot cheaper than some of the places we looked at. There is a communal pool. Really looking forward to exploring AMI and heading out to Longboat Key where we spent our honeymoon.
