Close to everything. But nothing comes close.

Owl Café is a neighborhood restaurant located in the heart of historic downtown Apalachicola that first opened its doors in 1900. We offer a fresh, seasonal menu and serve lunch, dinner, and a can’t-miss weekend brunch. Known for relaxed and warm hospitality with turn-of-the-century roots, our food and wine menus are inspired by the rich and welcoming sun-soaked waters of Florida’s surrounding Gulf Coast.

Our menu offers riffs on classics including BBQ Local Shrimp, Fried Oysters and Mediterranean Salad with house-made dressing, timeless entrees like Chicken Marsala Pasta and Shrimp & Grits. Plus, beloved Owl classics that taste of Forgotten Coast nostalgia (Crab Dip, anyone?).

For reservations of parties larger than 8, please call us at 850-653-9888.
