Cafe de Marco, Marco Island

Tucked away in the northern most point of Old Marco is Cafe de Marco. An intimate bistro/cafe serving the most diverse selection of fresh seafood & other continental specialties since 1983. A favorite amongst locals & seasonal return visitors to Marco Island. Reservations are greatly appreciated. Olde Florida atmosphere in the historic district of Olde Marco. Perfect for an outstanding meal, business, or special occasion. Vast wine selection and beer available. Twilight specials and children's menu available. Owned and operated by same owner & family since starting out in 1983. Our building enjoys a rich piece of Marco history. The Cafe's building was the original quarters for the chamber maids employed by the historic Old Marco Inn just a few yards away. Many years ago the Inn functioned as a "bed & breakfast", and the maids would simply walk to work from our building. This explains the answer to a frequently asked question..."Was this an old house at one time?" Today, step inside to what has been transformed into an islander's tradition for over 30 years. We look forward to serving you soon! ~Sandy Franchino, Owner

Family run, fantastic staff and the best food I’ve had on Marco Island. CDM is upscale compared to some other restaurants in the island, but still had a casual vibe. Everything we ordered here was not just good, but great. Wait staff very helpful. Try...More

Very Good Food - Very Good Service

We visited on a summer evening in August. The restaurant was reasonably crowded, as it was a Thursday Night and it's "Throwback to 1983" (in honor of the restaurant's 35th anniversary) menu pricing was in effect. Our party of four was seated quickly. We ordered...More

We forgot how great this gem was and still is.

We've been going to Marco Island for many years and originally discovered this fabulous restaurant but somehow got caught up with new "spots" through the years. Recently we read an article about their 35 years in business serving mostly locals and realized we needed to...More
