Great Finds: The Sandy Butler Gourmet Market & Restaurant

To find the exciting new Pensato olive oil, the only place to go is right here in Sanibel Island: The Sandy Butler, named “the pre-eminent gourmet market of southwest Florida” by Ever Seen Gulf Coast Magazine. The restaurant and market is the sole distributor of this oil, used exclusively by many Michelin chefs in Europe.

The olive oil isn’t the only reason to visit, though.

“Our market emphasizes authenticity by homemade mozzarella made fresh daily, cakes and pastries fashioned by an in-house baker and prepared carryout dishes made daily by our gourmet chefs,” says Jamie Nelson.

Besides the delicious food, we love the intimate and relaxed atmosphere in this family-owned restaurant. The chef utilizes only the finest ingredients for each dish.

The market includes seafood, grocery, deli, dairy, produce, frozen foods, butcher shop, housewares, and wine and cheese departments – as well as butler service offered by each employee. Gourmet shopping has never been easier!

From December to February, look for:

• Fresh foie gras

• Russian caviar

• Australian cold-water lobster tails

• Shrimp as big as lobster tails!
