<\/a>Abacoa Golf Club<\/p><\/div>\n
We are lucky to have such a wide variety of international dining choices available close to the LLS campus here in Abacoa. Let\u2019s start off with the Abacoa Golf Club restaurant and its ample, free parking. Generous servings, with most lunch entr\u00e9es around $10, fast service and a spectacular dining view, all presided over by the kind and very efficient Clubhouse Manager Kris P. Koerber. If you\u2019re lucky enough to have lunch there before the gorgeous Christmas greenery and decorations come down, you\u2019re in for even more of a treat. They also have a Happy Hour from 3:30 to sunset with complimentary hors d\u2019oeuvres. No dinner service but open 7 days a week for lunch.

<\/a>Interior of Le Metro Neighborhood Bistro<\/p><\/div>\n
Our second choice is Le Metro Neighborhood Bistro, run by the charming Mary Ellen with her husband Christian Alunno, an international French chef from Nice, in the kitchen. Having lived in Paris for 25 years, I can attest to the excellence of the cuisine at Le Metro. For smaller appetites, they have a $6.99 Lunch Special available featuring quiches, deli sandwiches, salade ni\u00e7oise, cheeseburger sliders w\/fries, flatbreads, soups, tuna melts, mussels, etc. Their regular and quite varied lunch menu includes many French specialties. The Early Bird dinner special is not to be missed, either. For $19.95 pp, they offer an appetizer, main course, dessert and a beverage. Lots of special culinary events scheduled throughout the year and, of course, Happy Hour available most days. Check their website for hours and details.

<\/a>The CopaCabana Restaurant<\/p><\/div>\n
For those of you who may have been inspired by our recent blog post on Cuba to take a trip there, why not try out some Cuban cuisine while making your travel plans? The CopaCabana is a family restaurant owned and operated by Gustavo and Marion Garcia. Their lunch menu offers tasty beef, chicken or pork traditional entr\u00e9es as well as a well-thought out offering of sandwiches with a Cuban twist. With the exception of their Churrasco at $11.95, everything on the lunch menu is under $10. Live music and dancing on Friday and Saturday night.

<\/a>Interior of Nina’s Fresh Bakery<\/p><\/div>\n
The latest gem in Abacoa\u2019s culinary crown is the adorable Nina\u2019s Fresh Bakery, run by Nina Tomasik, which has just opened its doors. Open from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., it\u2019s the perfect spot for an espresso and a delicious, home-made European breakfast pastry before those LLS morning classes! It\u2019s also a great place for a quick lunch with their Panini sandwiches, salads and quiches. Homemade cakes, pies, tarts, brownies, cupcakes and cookies also available. Everything is made daily from scratch using natural ingredients and no preservatives. Indoor and outdoor seating.
