Where to eat in Winter Park: Park Avenue and beyond
Park Avenue is the obvious starting point. Within a few blocks you can choose Turkish meze at Bosphorous, fresh pasta at Grappolo, sushi and robata at Umi, or oysters in the garden courtyard at Atlantic Beer & Oyster. The Chapman and Prato cover the dressier end, while Briarpatch handles breakfast and lunch. Street parking fills quickly on weekend evenings, so plan to use a city garage or walk a block or two.
Some of the strongest cooking sits off the avenue. Fairbanks Avenue has Hunger Street Tacos, Sushi Saint and 4 Rivers, Winter Park Village has Grove House, and Aloma Avenue has Tibby's. Soseki and Ômo by Jônt seat only 10 and 16 guests, so book those well ahead.
How to choose a Winter Park restaurant
Match the room to the night. For a special occasion, the tasting counters and The Ravenous Pig are the picks. For a casual meal with kids, Pannullo's, Winter Park Fish Company and Black Bean Deli are easy wins. Patio seating at Bulla, Garp & Fuss and The Porch is most pleasant from late fall through spring.
