METRO CAFE – American
A small deli-café tucked into an office park off Metro Parkway in Fort Myers, open early and shut by mid-afternoon — a lunch room for the people who work nearby. Everything goes together to order: fresh deli sandwiches, a well-built Cuban, a Reuben on rye, and homemade soups that rotate through chicken noodle, tomato bisque and chowder. There's a Latin streak too, in the coxinhas, the fried ham-and-cheese croquettes and a beef stew served over rice and black beans. Portions are generous, the counter unhurried with regulars, and the brownies do real damage. Found by word of mouth, kept by habit.
