Bon Appetit Restaurant
The Bon Appetit Restaurant has consistently been voted best waterfront restaurant in the Tampa Bay area by readers of the Tampa Tribune. Bon Appetit is a landmark restaurant in Dunedin, Fla., just north of Clearwater, featuring waterfront dining in a casual but elegant setting. Crisp white linens grace the tables, while the place settings and crystal glasses reflect the light from the sunshine and clear waters of St. Joseph Sound. You also have excellent views of the Dunedin Marina and both Caladesi and Honeymoon Islands from your table. The restaurant has had the same owners for more than 30 years, and in that time has become the best-loved restaurant for special occasions in the area. The newest menu showcases the exceptional meals served in the restaurant, including a great variety of tapas and creative desserts, and the bi-weekly seasonal additions and changes to the menus to always keep things fresh. Attached to Bon Appetit with the same menus and great views, the Terrace Café is a more casual outdoor café. Weddings and banquets at the restaurant's Crystal Ball Room and Sunset Room are exquisite.
