“The best food ever.....really.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

My wife and I made a special trip just to eat here to celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary. We have travelled far and wide, cruises, all over the U.S., and have never found a restaurant that even comes close. Everything is hand prepared, homemade, even the garlic and chive soft butter and ice cream. Fresh Grouper, quiches, schnitzel, Spaghetti Bolonese, you name it, and it always astounds and amazes us. One of Florida's best kept secrets in the little breakwater town of Welaka on the banks of the beautiful St. John's River. Incredible. Ambience is charming, eclectic, and romantic. This should be on your bucket list!

“Good food, wasn't impressed with mosquitoes.”

I'm a classy guy. I usually prefer my food without mosquitoes. Sometimes I can take it. The food was good. The mosquitoes made things bitter. My friend drank like 5 mosquitoes. It was crazy I told him he was going to get stomach AIDS and I should know because I am a Medicine Man of sorts. I'm also a genius. I wouldn't take a woman here. She might be turned off. All in all I'd give it a low score on the scoring scale.

“Dinner”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2011 via mobile

We heard about this place from those staying at Welaka lodge and that the food was pretty good. It was an early afternoon dinner with friends on vacation so we decided to give it a try. Food was good; I had the hamberger and it was huge and jucy. My wife had the fish and said it was covered in butter and was just ok. Maybe because she was just hungry. But they have these home made dinner rolls that are to die for. Any, give it a try, you might like it.

“Great Food, great view of river, very nice people”

Everytime we come to Welaka for a long weekend we eat here at least once or twice and have enough to take home for another meal. The price is good for what you get.
Try their fried green tomatoes, Bolognese, and cognac chocolate cake.

“Surprisingly wonderful”

The crabcakes were excellent. with minimal breading. We found this restaurant by accident while staying at a dismal lodge nearby. Cafe Bleu is a little gem surprise on the Saint John's River and wonderful alternative to area restaurants where fried everything is the only dining option.
