Best Vegan Restaurants in Osprey

We’re spending two months on Lido Key and feel so fortunate to have discovered Blu Kouzina early on! We stumbled upon the restaurant while walking by during the day and were immediately drawn to the charming outdoor seating area. Due to the chilly weather, we decided to dine inside, and the warm, inviting atmosphere instantly made us feel at home. We made a reservation for a Tuesday evening, not really thinking it would be necessary, but we’re so glad we did! When we arrived, the restaurant was buzzing with energy and at full capacity, but we were quickly and graciously seated. From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed by the entire staff. Our server was exceptional—despite being busy, she never rushed us and made us feel like we had all the time in the world to enjoy our meal. She provided great recommendations, and we were thrilled with our choices. I had the grilled calamari platter, which was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. My husband opted for the lamb wrap with fries, and he absolutely loved it. We didn’t have room for an appetizer or salad this time, but we’re already planning to come back soon to try those as well. Blu Kouzina is definitely on our list for repeat visits! Cheers!

We love Libby’s! It’s always a fun atmosphere and the food is fresh, creative, and plentiful. Great friendly staff and a cool decor always bring us back.

We shared the caesar 1377 salad, which we never order because we are vegan. The salad is fairly large, and we would not have been able to finish the main course otherwise. My wife ordered the chermoula bowl, and she reported it was the best dish she has ever had in any Sarasota restaurant. I ordered the root pasta ai funghi, and I was leary of the preserved grape. I think it was a pickled grape, and it went well with the rest of the ingredients.

Our server was the Best of the Best!! He couldn’t have been nicer and was so accommodating with all of our needs.

Where the locals go to dine! Fun atmosphere, great servers and great food. View could be better but
