 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 |

 Far-eastern delights |
2021 East Colonial Drive Orlando, FL 32803-4852 United States +1 407 228 4000 |
This Orlando hotspot has been doing brisk business since its inception in 1995. Dig into Vietnamese delicacies, including the omnipresent noodles—the food here is more specific to the city of Hanoi and is a mélange of tradition and art. Start off with the multi-faceted Pho, a national soup dish, with garden rolls, amid warm, beautiful surroundings or on the patio. Follow it up with Bahn Cuon rice crepes with meat fillings, veggies and fish sauce. Or, try the delicious Bun Cha Ha Noi—vermicelli noodles with grilled pork in fish sauce and other embellishments. Wind up with the Ca Phe Sua Da—iced tea with condensed milk, or an exotic fruit shake for a truly Viet experience. This is also an ideal spot for a quiet celebration; the bar takes care of basic liquor requirements. Review © 2007, Wcities |
