ORLANDO, Fla.—Meeting and convention attendees in Orlando can experience the city’s vibrant and expanding culinary scene during the upcoming Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining program. Celebrating its 19th season, Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining returns Aug. 16 through Sept. 30 with a record 152 restaurants, including 25 new restaurants and nine recognized by the MICHELIN Guide. Restaurants will offer three-course prix-fixe menus for either $40 or $60, per person, throughout the six-week run, continuing the tiered-menu system introduced in 2023. The dining program was designed to support local charities, with $1 from each $40 dinner and $2 from each $60 dinner benefitting local charities.
Menus are now live at the new OrlandoMagicalDining.com, one of eight recently revamped Visit Orlando websites. Diners can book reservations, filter by area or specific neighborhoods, menu, tiers, or by dietary preferences, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. New to the website, diners can find arts and cultural events curated by United Arts of Central Florida for a well-rounded night out or deals to enhance their experience with an overnight stay. Additional menus and hotel deals will be added in the coming weeks.
Orlando Health will serve as presenting sponsor of Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining program through a multi-year deal. This builds on the current health and wellness partnership between Visit Orlando and Orlando Health, which commits to healthy travel and offers high-quality health-related options and medical services for visitors to the destination.
“With record participation for 2024, Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining continues to shine a spotlight on Orlando’s vibrant and expanding culinary scene, offers diners delicious meals at even better prices, and, best of all, benefits a local charity,” says Casandra Matej, president and CEO of Visit Orlando. “As we celebrate our 19th season, we are pleased to welcome Orlando Health as our presenting sponsor, and we look forward to our community coming together to support this year’s charity recipient, The Mustard Seed of Central Florida, a fantastic organization focused on community sustainability.”
