Restaurants in Orlando: what we found

This page covers 159 restaurants in Orlando. You'll find them in International Drive, Mills 50, Dr. Phillips and Lake Nona.

Where menus list prices, most of these sit in the $$ range, with a handful at $$$.

What comes up again and again on their menus and websites: Catering, Weekend brunch, Craft cocktails, Tacos and Online ordering.

The longest-running place here has been open since 1991.

Orlando is the county seat and the largest city in Orange County. Beyond the theme parks it is a city of neighborhoods, from Downtown and Thornton Park to College Park, Mills 50, Ivanhoe Village, Audubon Park, Baldwin Park, Lake Nona and Dr. Phillips, each with its own mix of local shops, restaurants and service businesses.

How to choose a restaurant near Orlando

Orange County's dining scene ranges from family-owned spots in neighborhoods like Mills 50, Audubon Park, and downtown Winter Garden to busy corridors near the theme parks and International Drive. With so much tourist traffic, it helps to know what you want before you go. Check whether a restaurant takes reservations or uses a waitlist, especially on weekends and during peak travel seasons like spring break and the winter holidays. Look at the menu online for prices, dietary options, and kids' menus, and confirm hours, since some smaller places close between lunch and dinner or on certain weekdays. If outdoor seating matters to you, remember that summer afternoons are often hot and stormy. For parking, ask whether there is a lot, street parking, or valet. Use the listings below to browse restaurants by area, then check each one's site or call for current hours and specials.

Local tip

You can look up any Florida restaurant's recent health inspection results through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation's Division of Hotels and Restaurants search at myfloridalicense.com.

Frequently asked questions

How can I check a restaurant's health inspection in Orlando?

Florida restaurants are inspected by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation's Division of Hotels and Restaurants, not the county. You can search inspection reports by business name or city on the DBPR website at myfloridalicense.com. Reports list violations by type, so read the details rather than the count alone, as some are minor and corrected on site.

Do I need reservations at Orlando restaurants?

It depends on the restaurant and timing. Popular spots in tourist areas and well-known neighborhood restaurants often fill up on weekends, holidays, and convention weeks, so booking ahead helps. Many casual places use a walk-in waitlist instead. Check the restaurant's website or reservation platform, or call ahead, especially for larger groups or special occasions.

What is the sales tax on restaurant meals in Orlando?

Florida's state sales tax is 6 percent, and Orange County adds a half-cent local surtax, for a combined rate of 6.5 percent on most taxable meals in most of the county. Voluntary tips are not taxed. Some restaurants add automatic service charges for large parties, which can be taxable and should be disclosed on the menu or bill, so check before adding another tip.

Are there restaurants in Orlando that are not near the theme parks?

Yes. Many locals eat in neighborhoods such as Mills 50, College Park, Thornton Park, Winter Park's Park Avenue area, and downtown Winter Garden. These areas tend to have more independent restaurants and less tourist traffic than International Drive or the resort corridors. Browse the listings by city or neighborhood to find options close to where you live or are staying.

How can I find restaurants with outdoor seating in Central Florida?

Many restaurants list patio seating on their website or reservation page. Outdoor dining is most comfortable here from roughly late fall through spring. In summer, afternoon thunderstorms are common, so ask whether the patio is covered or has fans. When booking, request outdoor seating in advance, as it often fills first on mild evenings.
