The conference is offering a dining card that includes two lunches (June 10 and 12) and four breakfasts (June 10, 11, 12, and 13) in the Rollins cafeteria, which offers a wide variety of food. The cafeteria will be open at other meal times throughout the conference. Diners may also use cash if they prefer not to purchase a dining card.

For those who would prefer to dine off-campus, Winter Park and the surrounding area offer a wide selection of casual and fine dining experiences for all tastes and budgets. Follow the links below for our suggestions.

Park Avenue
(walking distance from Rollins)

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

Sakura Sushi and Saki Bar
Melanie Osborn (former editorial assistant) is a fan. Annabel Tudor, managing editor and not a fan of sushi, thinks the tempura offerings are pretty decent. $$$

(407) 740-8018

Power House Cafe
Alexandra Sol, editorial assistant, thinks 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. $$

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.

310 Park South
Julian Chambliss’s 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.
