The Sarasota-Manatee Originals is a group of
independent, locally owned and operated restaurants
that collectively share a passion to celebrate and
preserve our community’s culinary “sense of place.”
We believe that a vibrant, independent restaurant
community enhances a city’s culinary and cultural
strength and makes it a better place to visit and live.
The Originals boasts more than 50 active members
located from the northern tip of Anna Maria Island to
Venice Pass at the southernmost point.
From a casual meal on the beach to an exquisite
four-course fine dining experience, we guarantee
the meals you eat at member restaurants are freshly
prepared using the best local ingredients combined
with the famous heritage flavors of the Suncoast.
It’s what makes us The Originals! When dining out,
Eat Like a Local!
