Best Restaurants in Fort Myers and Cape Coral– Sizzle Dining Picks
In September 2025, Southwest Florida once again turns into a paradise for food lovers: the popular Sizzle Dining Festival brings together 127 restaurants in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and beyond, offering exclusive lunch and dinner menus at special prices.
The menus include 2 to 4 courses and start at just $19. Depending on the restaurant, prices go up to $59. The best part: For every menu sold, $1 goes to “Blessings in a Backpack”, a nonprofit organization providing nutritious meals to elementary school children in need.
In 2024, the event raised $60,000. For 2025, co-founder Guy Clarke hopes to reach at least $80,000.
