Cafe de France
Barry Levis’ favorite restaurant in Winter Park. Claire and Jim find the service somewhat snooty, but that might just be authentic French.

Power House Cafe
Some think the strawberry, banana, and peanut butter pita is amazing! Accompany this with one of their famous smoothies and you’re set to go! One of those healthy, yet filling, restaurants on park. $$
(407) 645-3616
111 E Lyman Ave |
Park Plaza Gardens
Claire thinks that the restaurant food is overpriced and unimpressive. Bar food is great, though, as are their gin and tonics. Sit on the sidewalk for a true Winter Park experience.

Julian Chambliss’ favorite. Annabel's choice for dinner before class. The burgers and salads are fabulous (and reasonably priced) and the beer selection vast. Best calamari in town.
