By chance, we saw this small restaurant, the most beautiful and clearly Hispanic food. We tried the empanadas, my favorite is guava and cheese. Today we stopped again and the lady recommended me the one with lentils and maduros... and I loved them, very tasty. I really recommend you visit them and try!

We had a flounder fish and chips today. The fish was fried perfecting and the batter was light and crispy. We also enjoyed the cole slaw which was lightly dressed and peppery and their fries were also very tasty. Also a great price. We will be back to try their Cuban sandwiches.

The Nautical Cafe is a true gem of a Cuban cafe in Melbourne Beach. You'd be hard pressed to find better Cuban food in Miami, Tampa or Havana. They have a lot of the classics along with a few unusual items like lentil/plantain empanadas. There's a good selection of vegetarian options and the tostones are some of the best I've ever had, crunchy on the outside and creamy inside. Seating is very limited and is all outside, although there is a good amount of shade.

We stayed at the B and B next door. Came for lunch 3 times. I’m a foodie and this was excellent. The Cuban sandwich was our hands down favourite. Andrea is beautiful inside and out. We will be back!
