OUR FOOD

Enjoy Upscale American Fare and Authentic Italian Cuisine

Pelican Cafe was founded in 2008 by husband & wife, Mark Frangione and Karen Howe from Greenwich, Connecticut, who fell in love with Palm Beach County and made it their home. 

 

We believe that an exceptional dining experience is not only about the quality of the ingredients and masterful food preparation, but the care given by our staff to serve each guest as if they were family.

 

Celebrating 12 years in Palm Beach County, we are so honored to be part of this wonderful community.  We truly love getting to know our guests and we hope to enjoy the pleasure of your company, soon.

THE AMBIANCE

The Pelican Cafe is situated in the historic Kelsey House, which was built in the 1940's as a guest house of Mr. Harry Seymour Kelsey, who founded the town of Lake Park and was one of the largest land owners in Palm  Beach County in the 1920's. 

 

The home was perfect for our vision of creating an atmosphere of "Nantucket Meets the Florida Keys".  You may dine in one of several indoor dining rooms, or opt for a table on our spacious outdoor veranda, under cover.  At night our patio is magical with twinkling blue lights adding to the nautical ambiance.

 

Many guests remark about the artwork on our walls.  All paintings are the works of local artist August Pearl and are for sale.  Our recent renovations have given the house a lot of love and upgrades which kept its charm and will last for years to come.
