Gulf Gate Shopping and Dining District


You can do your Sarasota shopping easily on foot here with its concentration of international restaurants and gift shops that bring a taste of home to Sarasota's many European visitors. For instance, you can sample Polish, Thai, Scandinavian, British, Italian, Irish, Middle-Eastern, and Moroccan cuisines.

Healthy and vegetarian-oriented restaurants include Veg (on Gulf Gate Drive) and Zest (on Superior Avenue). For breakfast and lunch, Word of Mouth is busy and satisfying. The shopping ranges from consignment shops to gifts. 


At the Sarasota Pavilion, you'll find Beall's, Ross, Marshalls, Michael's Crafts, Books-a-Million, Bed Bath & Beyond, video games, a Publix supermarket, Steinmart, and other brand name clothing and shoe stores, along with Chinese food. Panera Bread, which has a varied menu and free wifi, is a pleasant spot for sitting, sunning, and noshing.


At night, Gulf Gate becomes a destination for nightlife, as the bars along Gateway and Superior Avenues fill up with eaters, drinkers and music-lovers. Gulf Gate is a fun meet-to-eat neighborhood for people of all ages in Sarasota FL.
