Discover Bradenton
While most people know Bradenton, Florida, for its soft sandy beaches, crystal-clear water and brightly colored beach shacks, local farmers are raising some of Florida's best produce and livestock just a couple of miles to the west. Oranges grown nearby appear in dishes in many different Bradenton restaurants; try spiced orange salads and salmon served with orange and fennel sauce. Area farmers also grow strawberries, allowing restaurants to frequently obtain them the same day they are picked to create strawberry cakes and strawberry cream tortes. Many dining establishments in the area also feature wines produced from the grapes grown in the local vicinity. Since many restaurants in Bradenton are owned and operated by private individuals, you are assured of a warm welcome because they are glad that you chose to stop by and see them.
