Orlando’s highly anticipated Magical Dining event is back for its 20th year, running August 15 through September 30, with a record 160 participating restaurants. This year’s celebration includes 24 new additions and 15 Michelin Guide-recognized establishments, offering an expanded dining experience for locals and visitors alike.
Guests can enjoy three-course meals priced at $40 or $60 (plus tax and gratuity), making it an opportunity to sample some of the region’s best culinary offerings at a value. Online booking is available at OrlandoMagicalDining.com, where diners can search by location, price tier, and dietary preferences, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
Beyond its culinary appeal, Magical Dining continues its tradition of giving back. Part of the proceeds from this year’s program will benefit the Reed Charitable Foundation, an organization dedicated to ending the literacy crisis by ensuring all children have access to brain-based reading instruction through affordable and accessible educator training.
Additionally, Visit Orlando will award a $3,000 donation to a local nonprofit in each of Orange County’s six commission districts. This year’s recipients are: Boys 2 Men Mentoring, Early Learning Coalition of Orange County, Finding the Lost Sheep, Nuevo Sendero, Samaritan Resource Center, and The Therapy Wish. These contributions will help expand educator training programs throughout the community.
