A Look Into the Nutrition and Dining Options at The Abbey
At The Abbey at Westminster Plaza, dining is more than a service — it's one of the defining aspects of daily life. Our award-winning Chef Roger Elkhouri leads a culinary team dedicated to preparing fresh, flavorful, nutritionally balanced meals for residents three times a day.
Chef-Prepared Meals, Every Day
Every meal at The Abbey is prepared fresh by our culinary team using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. From breakfast to dinner, residents enjoy restaurant-style service in our elegant dining room — no institutional cafeteria lines or pre-packaged trays.
Menus Designed for Senior Nutrition
Our menus are crafted with senior nutritional needs in mind, offering balanced portions of proteins, vegetables, whole grains, and heart-healthy fats. Low-sodium, diabetic-friendly, vegetarian, and vegan options are always available without the need to make special requests.
Globally Inspired Cuisine
Chef Elkhouri brings over 28 years of experience in fine dining, luxury hotels, and Houston's vibrant culinary scene. His menus rotate seasonally, featuring dishes inspired by Creole, Mexican, Italian, German, South Indian, and other international cuisines — keeping mealtimes exciting and diverse.
The Bistro and More
In addition to the main dining room, The Abbey's fast-casual bistro offers grab-and-go options, specialty coffee, fresh pastries, and light snacks throughout the day. Our ice cream parlor, sports lounge, and private dining options add even more variety to the resident experience.
Sunday Brunches and Special Events
Sunday brunches are a highlight of the week, featuring chef specialties and community-wide celebrations. Themed dinners, holiday events, and seasonal menus give residents something to look forward to throughout the year.
