Orlando's Magical Dining Blog Post Banner

Get those forks and knives ready, Orlando! Magical Dining is back and ready to bring the best of the best in central Florida's foodie scene! Mark your calendars from August 16th to September 30th, and start exploring the amazing participating restaurants this year to select your top picks for reservations. It's the perfect way to experience the melting pot of cuisine that Orlando has become known for, including top-tier Michelin-awarded and recognized restaurants - and, better yet, at unbeatable prices!

So, what is Orlando's Magic Dining?

This 6-week event showcases over 150 of the region's top restaurants, offering three-course, pre-fixe dinners for $40 or $60 per person. Not only do you have the opportunity to explore the diverse culinary offerings, but it is also a great way to give back to your community, as a portion of the proceeds from each meal supports the local nonprofit, The Mustard Seed of Central Florida. Funds support residents rebounding after suffering a disaster or a personal tragedy by providing household furnishings and clothing.
