Orlando Restaurants Getting Recognition

Orlando’s restaurant scene is becoming an attraction in its own right. WalletHub ranked us as the #2 foodie city in the U.S. Not only that, but the first ever Michelin Guide to Florida was published in June of this year. As many foodies probably know, Michelin stars are some of the most coveted awards in the restaurant industry and serve as a guiding light to traveling foodies. The new Florida guide features three Florida cities: Orlando, Miami, and Tampa. To view the full list, click here.

Michelin Star Winners

Out of the 15 Florida restaurants awarded Michelin stars, four are located in Orlando:

  • Capa Steakhouse & Bar
  • Kadence
  • Knife & Spoon
  • Soseki Modern Omakase

An additional 30 local eateries won recognition in the guide for their quality and value.

For example, in partnership with the city’s restaurants, they go all-out with Magical Dining. This fundraising event is similar to other cities’ restaurant weeks, featuring three-course, prix-fixe dinner menus, but Orlando’s version lasts for more than a month. This year, it will be August 26th through October 2nd.

EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

Wdw Fy22 Food Wine Web Banners Now 2673059 1200x864And last but not least, we cannot leave behind EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. The festival gives visitors an opportunity take a taste tour around the world. It officially started July 14 and ends November 19. Although there’s plenty of time to book your Disney tickets for this event, it’s better to start thinking about where you’ll stay when you visit Orlando.
The perfect location for a hotel near Walt Disney World® Resort is in Lake Buena Vista, and it puts you in the heart of everything there is to see and do in this celebrated area. The Walt Disney World® Resort, is right on your doorstep when you stay at the Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa. We are only 3 miles away from the Walt Disney World® Theme Parks and 4 miles away from the entrance to Disney Springs®.

 

My family and I have just returned from an 11 night holiday at LBV. The resort is fantastic and the location could not be better.
