Destination: |
Orlando may not be considered a worldwide dining destination, but with more and more notable chefs opening up restaurants in the city, that reputation is deficiently in the works. Many of the best restaurants in the city are located on theme park property, which makes sense when you consider that’s where so many people are, but you can have a nice meal in other parts of Orlando, too.
Starting with fine dining, Victoria & Albert’s is likely the best known spot in the city, and for good reason. Located inside Disney’s poshest resort, The Grand Floridian, Victoria & Albert’s is cartoon character free and a dinner jacket is required. If celebrity chefs are your thing, you can find a pair of Emeril Lagasse’s restaurants on Universal’s property (Emeril’s Orlando is at Universal CityWalk and Tchoup Chop is at the Loews Royal Pacific Resort.) Wolfgang Puck has a much less formal café at Downtown Disney.
If you have had enough of theme parks and tourists, head to a local favorite known as La Coq au Vin on South Orange Ave. This adventurous French restaurant blends traditional southern cooking with French sensibilities for a formal dining experience you will be ready to write home about.
If formal dining just isn’t in the budget, but you want something more than just a sandwich, Orlando has dozens of casual spots you can get a great meal. There are more quality restaurants in Orlando serving excellent Mexican food than imaginable. Even chains offer homemade chips and salsa and huge plates of food that could easily feed two. It is important to keep in mind, however, that since Orlando is a family destination so finding a meal that is genuinely quiet and adult is difficult. For instance, Emeril’s originally planned not to offer a children’s menu, but buckled under pressure and now does. If you are planning on dining anywhere on International Drive, inside a theme park or inside a theme park hotel, there will be kids around, and with the exception of Victoria & Albert’s, it will likely be loud.
If you are traveling with small kids, character breakfasts and dinners are available at most hotels. These events are a bit pricy and can be extremely loud, but they are a dream come true for kids infatuated with Disney characters. Contact your on-site hotel to see if they offer character dining.

Tipping is customary and is highly recommended when you consider the fact that Florida law allows any tipped worker to be paid as little as $3.77 per hour. Bad service should never be rewarded, but you may want to keep this in mind when deciding if your server gets 10% or 20%.
