| Dining Overview | Top  |
The diversity and sophistication of Orlando's restaurants have grown. Catfish, alligator, grits, barbecue, seafood and longtime Florida specialties remain menu staples at a few Orlando restaurants. But these days, you'll find that international cuisines are more the norm—from Mexican and Cuban to French.
Restaurants can come and go rather quickly in Orlando, but those that reach the top tend to remain there. Restaurant Row, one of the more popular dining scenes located along Sand Lake Road just off International Drive, is a culinary theme park of sorts. The area is lined with upscale eateries that satisfy a world of palates.
If you're too tired to leave the theme parks, there are plenty of outstanding options close at hand. Gone are the days when a hot dog and cotton candy were considered a decent meal at an amusement park. Today, several restaurants in Disney World and at Universal rank among the best in Orlando and the state. Reserve at least a couple of evenings to dine at the authentically appointed restaurants located in the World Showcase section of Epcot, featuring food and personnel native to such countries as France, Italy, Germany and Morocco. (To dine at Epcot, you'll have to pay admission to the park.) Truly superb restaurants are also found in resort hotels, such as the Rosen hotels, The Peabody, the better Walt Disney World Resort hotels and the SeaWorld Orlando Renaissance.
Most Disney World restaurants—with exceptions at Downtown Disney and at Victoria & Albert's—have priority seating, meaning you don't get a confirmed reservation when you call in advance but, once you arrive, you are immediately seated or seated in line behind others with priority seating ahead of you. Expect a delay of five to 10 minutes. Your best bet is to make priority-seating reservations as soon as you have confirmed your travel plans. Also ask about the restaurants' hours, which may change seasonally.
You might want to call for specific requirements, but dress at virtually all restaurants is casual or business casual. Victoria & Albert's is the only restaurant in town that requires a jacket for men.
Meal times are similar to those in the rest of the U.S.: Breakfast is generally 7-10 am, lunch 11 am-2:30 pm, dinner 6-10 pm. Expect to pay within these general guidelines, based on the cost of dinner for one, not including drinks, tax or tip: $ = less than US$15; $$ = US$15-$25; $$$ = US$26-$60; $$$$ = more than US$60. | Local & Regional | Top |

More peninsular Spanish than Latin American, this hotel restaurant attempts to re-create a bohemian Barcelona artist's garret vibe, with lots of low couches and velvet pillows. Live music, flamenco, art exhibits, belly dancers and tarot readers keep things suitably bohemian, and the menu is an array of traditional tapas (antipasti of Serrano ham, chorizo, manchego and olives, and black bean soup) and not-so-Spanish small plates (shrimp spring rolls, kimchee-glazed ribs). Open daily for lunch and dinner. $$. 8625 International Drive (in Doubletree Castle Hotel), Orlando. Phone 407-248-2222. http://www.cafetututango.com. If you leaf through any in-flight magazine these days, you're led to believe that every city in the land is stocked to capacity with Brazilian churrascarias ( shoo-HOSS- ka-REE- ahs). You know the photos: attractive Latin men standing tableside, wielding absurdly long skewers dense with rolls of beef in one hand and a sword in the other. Texas de Brazil is one of those more successful chains, marrying the allures of the gauchos and the cowboys, both out there on the range cooking big hunks of meat over an open fire. This is a major splurge restaurant, only fiscally prudent for the super-big appetite—it's a prix-fixe, all-you-can-eat meat smorgasbord, carved tableside, with vegetables and other distractions easy enough to ignore. Open Friday and Sunday for lunch and dinner, Saturday for dinner only. Reservations recommended. $$$. 5259 International Drive, Orlando. Phone 407-355-0355. http://www.texasdebrazil.com. Part of a small, regional chain, The Samba Room purveys sophisticated Latin fusion fare in a hip environment.

The vegetarian menu features soups and salads that change with the season, though the Milton Special salad, garnished with roasted beets and hummus, remains a favorite standard. Infusion's simplicity entices locals for both casual lunches with friends and client meetings. Where else can you sip Monkey-Picked Oolong and Winter-Mint Rooibos while local artists roam by, selling their wares from the Cottage Industry Co-op? Open daily. $$. 1600 Edgewater Drive, Orlando.

Patrons sit under awnings outside, drinking specially brewed iced coffee called "frosts" in summer and Theresa's Blend custom-roasted coffee year-round. A cigar shop and hair salon buttress the patio, so don't be surprised to see guests enjoying a smoke or foiled heads grabbing a Panini or salad. Open daily. $. 331 S. Park Ave., Winter Park. Phone 407-647-7520. The Grand Floridian's other notable eatery is a lovely riff on warm Mediterranean colors, with an open kitchen that follows suit with the cuisine. Part Provence, part Tuscany and a dash of Spanish Riviera, the seasonally changing menu may feature classic, warm goat-cheese salad with arugula, frisee and crispy lardoons of bacon, warm onion tart with walnut vinaigrette or hearty braised veal shank. The house martinis are excellent, especially the Citropolitan with lemon and lime liqueur. It's fairly quiet and rarefied, so kids may prefer it elsewhere (except the view to Magic Kingdom's evening fireworks is fab). $$$. Most major credit cards. 4401 Floridian Way (in Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa), Lake Buena Vista. Phone 407-824-2383. This lavish Peabody Hotel restaurant specializes in luxurious Continental cuisine and has won numerous awards.

In an area better known for its family-friendly buffets and gargantuan portion sizes, Seasons 52 is like a breath of fresh air. No item on the menu has more than 450 calories. But taste is regarded as far more important than portion size. The menu features everything from seafood to steaks. There's a choice of seven grilled flatbreads.
