Central Florida’s dining scene is heating up this summer as Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining celebrates its 20th anniversary with a record-breaking roster of restaurants. Beginning August 15, diners can explore more than 160 of the region’s top culinary destinations at a fixed price, with special menus highlighting signature dishes from a wide range of cuisines.
The 2025 edition of the popular program invites locals and visitors alike to experience multi-course meals at participating restaurants across Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Lake counties. This year, the initiative includes 15 Michelin-recommended restaurants, making it a standout opportunity for food enthusiasts to sample award-winning dining experiences at a fraction of the usual cost.

Several restaurants located within Orlando’s theme parks and resort areas are also participating again this year, including Amatista Cookhouse, Mama Della’s Ristorante, and The Kitchen at Universal Orlando Resort, as well as Jaleo, Maria & Enzo’s, and Amare at Walt Disney World Resort.
Magical Dining offers prix fixe menus priced at $40 or $60, depending on the restaurant. Each meal typically includes an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. In addition to showcasing Orlando’s vibrant culinary diversity, the program also supports a charitable cause. For every meal sold, $1 from the $40 menus and $2 from the $60 menus will be donated to the REED Charitable Foundation, a local nonprofit dedicated to improving childhood literacy and supporting children with dyslexia.
Most menus and participating restaurants are now listed on the official Visit Orlando Magical Dining website, with additional menus expected to be released in the coming weeks.
This annual event runs from August 15 through September 30, offering a limited-time chance to explore Central Florida’s acclaimed food scene while giving back to the community.
