Hope you’re hungry because Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining returns August 18 with over 100 of Orlando’s best restaurants. Each eatery will serve guests three-course prix-fixe menus, which will be either $40 or $60 as part of their new tiered system.

2023’s roster includes 21 new restaurants and eight recognized by the MICHELIN Guide.
