The Villages has a wide variety of choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Although restaurants may come and go, the property management team strives to get food and beverage establishments for all tastes.
Web site for all restaurants
The sections below categorize dining establishments by their location (e.g. in a town square or at a country club). But a great place to get an all-encompassing flavor (no pun intended) for eating can be found at www.villagereats.com. This is a database maintained frequently and has a list of daily specials and a section for restaurant coupons (coming soon).
