New Sarasota steakhouse replacing longtime Outback location

Sarasota steak enthusiasts hungry for a new option are in luck, with one steakhouse preparing to take over the former home of another . The all-you-can-eat Estampa Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse plans to open in the Sarasota area in spring 2027 at 7207 S. Tamiami Trail, taking over the former Outback Steakhouse space that operated there for decades before closing in 2024. The Sarasota restaurant follows Estampa Gaucha’s expansion to Florida's Treasure Coast. The casual steakhouse describes itself as offering a "modern interpretation, yet an authentic experience, of Southern Brazil’s centuries-old gaucho heritage.” Gauchos, often described as mestizo cowboys, were known as skilled horsemen and cattle ranchers who developed the art of open-fire meat cooking. Prominent in the legend, folklore and literature of South America, gauchos became an integral part of the regional culture of Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay beginning in the 18th century. "Our professional Gaucho Chefs will serve you tableside by carving fire roasted Brazilian Prime Meat selections directly from their skewers and onto your plate, maximizing the tenderness and providing our guests with their desired portion," the restaurant's website reads. "This style of preparing meats dates back for generations in Brazil and is kept alive here at Estampa

This Little Florida Pie Shop Serves Mini Pies So You Don’t Have To Commit To Just One Flavor

Florida has a lot of things going for it, but Yoder’s Pie Craft Coffee Co. in Sarasota might just be the most delicious argument for never leaving the state. This is a place where the pie comes in mini form, the coffee menu reads like a choose-your-own-adventure novel, and the only real problem you’ll face is deciding what to eat first.

Popular downtown Sarasota restaurant closed following sale after 16 years

While downtown Sarasota comes back to life in early November, a restaurant that has operated in the heart of the city for the better part of two decades has been closed lately, including on a recent Friday night. Bevardi's Salute, a downtown landmark at 23 N. Lemon Ave. perhaps best known for its Mediterranean-style setting and sprawling, light-strung patio filled with customers enjoying Italian cuisine and live music, has changed hands. "The restaurant got sold," owner and founder Laszlo Bevardi told me by phone late Wednesday, Nov. 11. "The new owner is shutting down for remodeling." Bevardi declined to identify the new owner but said prominent Sarasota businessman and developer Ernie Ritz owns the two-story building, while the city owns the land. The restaurant sits on historic ground at the site of Sarasota's Seaboard Railway Depot, built in 1903 and credited with helping fuel the city's early growth. Bevardi moved with his wife and two daughters from Philadelphia to Sarasota and opened Bevardi's Salute in 2010. In 2021, he became the operator of the city-owned Lido Beach pavilion concession, where he opened Lido Island Grill , serving beach fare, seafood and frozen drinks. "The lease was up, and it was
