Want comfort food? Zelda’s Café and Deli delivers for breakfast, lunch and dinner in a casual oasis across from the Port Authority in Channelside, nestled next to a BP gas station.

Fine wines and beers beckon from the cooler, and in addition to the menu, there are spectacular daily specials. You can check wi-fi here and enjoy live entertainment in the evening as well as an outdoor dining patio.

For breakfast, corned beef hash or steak and eggs compete for your attention with veggie, meat lover and Western omelettes, best with a side of cheese grits or biscuits. Pancake lovers can choose between banana or blueberry, or dine on the the sugar-dusted cinnamon French toast. Add a mimosa for a perfect day.

Lunch salads are huge and the delectable selection includes a chicken Caesar, macadamia and panko-crusted tilapia with orange vinaigrette, Cobb, Chef or Greek. There are wraps, mile-high deli sandwiches from roast beef to savory chicken or egg salad, and hot deli sandwiches including killer Reuben, pressed Cuban and steak
and cheese. Take a slice of homemade cheesecake back to the office, the flavors change daily.

At dinner, you can enjoy double lobster tail, crispy flat chicken or grilled flat iron steak with smashed potatos or a delectable grilled salmon with mango and papaya chutney served with vegetable cous cous. Courteous service and bistro fare in a no-frills setting make this unusual find worth the trip.
