Murdock's Bistro Sign
Cocoa Villiage Restaurant & Bar

 Cocoa Village, Florida is home to one of our favorite restaurants for lunch in the Cocoa Beach Area. It is a perfect match for the historic buildings and quaint shops in Cocoa Village -- about 15 minutes west of Cocoa Beach on Hwy 520 across the Intercoastal Waterway. Cocoa Villiage is actually on the east edge of the town of Cocoa, FL next to the Indian River.

Tip - There is ample free public parking in Cocoa Village 1 block west of the Brevard Avenue "Main Drag" running North-South. Parking is about 4-5 blocks south of Hwy 520 off of Florida Avenue. (see Map on Murdock's web site below)

Murdock's Bistro and Char Bar Restaurant
600 Brevard Avenue - Cocoa Village, Florida 32922 - (321) 633-0600
-- offers great "homemade" food, a very interesting interior, and we have found - excellent service.

Much of the interior of the Restaurtant, as well as the large ornate front windows and bar front, were salvaged from the historic Brevard Hotel which used to be on the riverbank a few blocks to the east. Some very ornate wood carvings hang from the ceiling of Murdock's. (see picture at top)

Murdock's Bistro Restaurant is in the former Murdock's Grocery Store building, so they kept the Murdock part of the name for the Cocoa Village Restaurant. See more on the Murdock's name and History, as well as on the Historic Brevard Hotel furnishings near the top of the Cocoa Village Historic Buildings & Pictures page.

The sign above has a caricature of the two sisters who "run" Murdock's -- along with the assistance of their Mom who helps with all major "business decisions" they told my wife and I when we were there last. The three of them are at the end of the bar in the picture at the top of the page.

Frequent Blue Plate Specials, Live Music 6 nights a week + during Sunday Brunch, + Sat and Sun breakfast from 8 - 12. Murdock's Bistro is our favorite Cocoa Village restaurant. See the Murdock"s Bistro Web Site for more info and Pictures. Don't miss the fun menu pages - especially the "entrees" page. My wife's lunch favorite is the "Southern Fried Chicken Salad." Murdocks Bistro is a fun and friendly Cocoa Village Restaurant Top Pick.



  A Riverfront "Cocoa" Restaurant Favorite just South of Cocoa, FL 

Actually about 5-10 minutes south of Cocoa down Hwy 1 on the River in Rockledge, Florida.

Attractive, relaxed place to eat with a great view of the Indian River. Almost all tables have a view of the river - ask.
   (Note: We have not dined at this Restaurant since the new "River Rocks" Owners took over -- Some of the "Reviews" from Diners now give "Mixed" Reviews on the Food and say the prices are a bit high -- others give it a thumbs up. Please send us your comments on the new "River Rocks" or post a review of it here. Thanks!)  We will check it out on our next vacation to the Cocoa Beach, FL area and update our comments here.

View: At night can see the lights on other side plus lights on the boats moving up and down the river. A Riverfront near Cocoa Village Restaurant option with great waterfront views, but we now cannot personally vouch for the food and service, so will have to check it out in person to see if it merits a Top Pick rating here.
