Sun Garden Cafe on Siesta Key Makes a “Staycation” All the Tastier
Sun Garden Cafe
Over Labor Day weekend we decided there really is no place like home, and that our "somewhere over the rainbow" is right here in Sarasota. So we booked a long weekend stay at Casa De Mariposa on Siesta Key and hunkered into glorious beach living.
Sweet potato pancakes
Casa de Mariposa is a spectacular townhouse loaded with all the amenities, just across the street from beach marker 10 and an easy walking distance from Siesta Village. Our plan was to grill each night at the casa and venture out for breakfast or lunch. Great plan, since we discovered a new favorite that will become a weekend staple. We dove into Sun Garden Café and we could hardly wait to return each morning.
Fish tacos
I'd heard rumors that the fish tacos were incredible--and oh yes, they are! In fact, I would go so far to proclaim them the best in Sarasota County. Since I had also heard that Sun Garden had some pretty good sweet potato pancakes with pecan butter, I opted for a small stack. Sure, it made for an odd combination, but what the heck? One must put food to the taste-test, and the rumor-mongers sure were right.
Real hollandaise--yum!
