Looking for ethnic, interesting, or driveworthy near Bonita Springs

[richw]

I'll be spending a few days at a resort in Bonita Springs and I prefer to leave hotel properties for meals whenever possible. Does anyone have suggestions on where to dine? I'm typically interested in the ethnic, not fancy, off the beaten path sort of places.

Thanks in advance!!

I think the best ethnic restaurant in the area is Inca Kitchen serving spectacular Peruvian food, however it's at least a 25 minute drive. Well worth it. Home Thai has very good Thai food. Pinchers is a good crab shack. Buffalo Chips in downtown Bonita is bar food but they have great wings. The place itself is a hoot. Angelina's would be a little more upscale but they have great contemporary Italian. There are also wonderful summer specials with 1/2 price apps in the bar and 1/2 off everything on the wine list under $150. Landsdowne St. is a bar down the road with an obvious Boston theme(Landsdowne St. borders Fenway) but they have authentic lobster rolls with mostly lobster and little filler.

Thanks for feedback. I will definitely check out Buffalo Chips. I live in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area so the Peruvian food may be good but I'm not sure I want to make drive since we have an abundance of it at home.

thanks again.

If you're in town on a Sunday, this summer, we have a group. www.SWFLcrawl.com is a redirect to our facebook group. Yesterday we were at Thai Star in Bonita. Great food, great time. Next Sunday is brunch at Survey Cafe www.thesurveycafe.com (the not-so-French-toast with mimosas) on Wilson Street off of Old 41 road. (off the beaten path) You might want to try Dolly's for breakfast, too. Local color!
