 Caribbean flair with food |
8849 International Drive Orlando, FL 32819 United States +1 407 248 2499 http://www.bahamabreeze.com |
International Drive, with its unrelenting string of hotels and convenience stores, is about as far as you can get from the serenity of the Caribbean. However, there is an island of retreat here, where enthusiasts have created an island feel through the liberal use of wood shutters, bright primitive art and ceiling fans. This eatery welcomes families with young children, so it might be wise to expect a little noise at favorite kid mealtimes. To get the island flavors going, you might begin with Conch Fritters, and then progress to Seared Tuna Steak or Coconut Chicken. Most entrees are available in half portions, too, and the restaurant offers a full bar. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Jammin' music for dining |
6000 Universal Blvd Orlando, FL 32819 United States +1 407 224 3663 http://www.bobmarley.com |
Bob Marley, the revered father of Jamaican reggae music, provided the inspiration for this dining spot that's become a popular part of Universal Studios. By night, this place is jamming with Marley's and fellow reggae artists' music, keeping the steel drum beat going strong for dancing. There's a variety of appetizing offerings, such as whitefish dip with toast points, salsa served with unusual dipping chips that include dried yucca and plantain chips, and yucca fries, much loved in the Caribbean.

Tastes of the Islands |
5773 Curry Ford Road Orlando, FL 32822 United States +1 407 275 2996 |
This large, brightly lit Puerto Rican eatery features delicacies flavored with garlic, cilantro and popular island spices. Pechuga al Ajillo, a boneless grilled chicken breast, is served with fried green plantains, a culinary mainstay of Caribbean islands with Spanish heritage. Tripleta de Mariscos features a mélange of seafood, including conch, octopus and shrimp. At dessert, a 'three-milk cake' is the must-have treat. After the kitchen closes on Thursday through Saturday, you can shake that booty to the sounds of live salsa music as the restaurant becomes a nightclub. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Caribbean atmosphere in Orlando |

A song with supper |
6000 Universal Blvd Ste 704 Orlando, FL 32819 United States +1 407 224 2155 http://margaritavilleorlando.com/ |
It's a long way to Key West, but you can make the trip without ever leaving Central Florida with a stop at this restaurant that evokes the spirit of the Keys where singer Jimmy Buffet got his start. Themed to resemble a snazzy version of favored Key West haunts, the restaurant offers such Keys and Caribbean favorites as conch fritters, jambalaya and that all-time favorite key lime pie. There's a full bar here and, truth be known, that's the destination of most of those who stop in here. Review © 2007, Wcities |
