Oprah is coming, but where should she eat in Naples?

YOU get a celebrity sighting. And YOU get a celebrity sighting. EVERYONE! GETS! A! CELEBRITY! SIGHTING!

Ahem. Excuse me. I've just been chatting with my friend and famed Southwest Florida restaurant enthusiast Jean Le Boeuf about where we would send Oprah for breakfast, lunch and dinner during her upcoming trip to the Global Financial Leadership Conference at The Ritz-Carlton Beach Resort in Naples. 

Should she indulge in fine food and extravagant cuisine? How about locally sourced quiche and plant-based burgers?

Here are four spots in Naples we think Oprah would get excited about. 

True Food Kitchen

True Food is a staple at the Waterside Shops in North Naples. The health-conscious restaurant features a menu full of plant-based and gluten-free options. Oprah could indulge in the Unbeetable Burger, a beet-based patty dressed with kuzu, jicama slaw, crushed avocado, butter lettuce and vegan mayonnaise on a flaxseed bun. 

Maybe she'd feel a bit more adventurous and go for True Food's poke bowl with cool tuna, avocado, quinoa, mushroom, snow peas, cucumber, cashew, ginger and turmeric ponzu.

Either way, after the talk show icon's recent health scare, she's sure to be after foods that encourage a healthy lifestyle.

Sails

It's been almost two years since Sails opened its doors on Fifth Avenue South, and owners Veljko Pavicevic and Corinne Ryan have taken Naples by storm. They've captured our hearts with Parisian gnocchi tossed with lobster, crab, spring peas and caviar; with scallops in a lusciously creamy citrus-butter sauce; and with a chocolate souffle that's the stuff of dreams.

Sails takes the upscale dining for which Naples is so well known, and then ups it tenfold. It's in the place settings of French Laguiole flatware, the marble-lined bar, the leather-topped stools for women to rest their purses. Service is impeccable, with plates arriving and disappearing in perfect timing.

In the kitchen, Sails' executive chef Jacob Jasinski, who was brought down from the acclaimed Ocean House in Westerly, Rhode Island, oversees this seafood-laden menu. Jasinksi and his team turn imported dorade and prawns that rest on a fanciful display of ice into equally fanciful meals with equally hefty price tags. 

Minus the small heart attack that comes with the bill — which probably won't matter much to our friend Oprah — Sails is worth every penny.

Food and Thought

Oprah, hear me out. It's a sunny Southwest Florida morning. You've got some time before you give your big talk on Tuesday and you're looking for a breakfast that's light and healthy and won't agitate those pre-talk butterflies (even Oprah must get nervous sometimes, right?). 

Cue Food and Thought. Oprah could stop in for a slice of quiche and a green juice or an Egg McSproutin' — Food and Thought's answer to the Egg McMuffin.

She could find a shaded spot outside the cafe and enjoy Food and Thought's militantly organic goodness.

Dorona

There's something poetic, I think, about the fact Dorona sits where a TGI Fridays once operated for many years. The two could not be more different. They come from different planets. A different galaxy altogether. Dorona, the modern Italian steakhouse launched by the nationally recognized Chef Fabrizio Aielli, is doing charred octopus with smoky black truffle; savory tomahawk steaks that are just as show-stopping visually as they are on the taste buds; and delicate ricotta cheesecakes with saffron sauce. Nothing about this new tenant says tired-national-chain. It says wow-look-at-me. And: Hey Oprah, stop in for a delicious bite.
