Have you participated in this year’s Magical Dining experience? If you’re not aware, from August 24 through September 30, Visit Orlando teams up with over 100 restaurants to offer three-course meals for prix-fixe meals for $35 where $1 from each meal is donated to Best Buddies and the Down Syndrome Association of Central Florida.

Magical Dining Month is a great time to get out and try restaurants that you may not have tried otherwise or even try other menu items at a place that you already go. Lauren and I were able to find few places we really enjoyed and also got some good recommendations for some spots to check out in the future.

Watch the vlog episodes below to see how our experiences went. Just remember…time is almost up!

1. Canvas Restaurant & Market

The Canvas restaurant menu features new American cuisine influenced by Florida’s Southern and Latin American roots. The item that stood out to us the most here was the Shrimp Mofongo. Oh…and don’t forget to ask for the crackers lol

Address: 13615 Sachs Avenue Orlando, FL 32827

2. Chroma Modern Bar + Kitchen

Chroma Modern Bar + Kitchen delivers a mix of elevated offerings created through small plates and an extensive bar menu. We really enjoyed their Guava and Goat Cheese Flatbread, Blue Crab and Artichoke Dip, Butterscotch Bread Pudding, and Banana Pudding.

Address: 6967 Lake Nona Boulevard Orlando, FL 32827

3. Texas de Brazil

At Texas de Brazil, expert carvers generously serve you unlimited amounts of sizzling beef, lamb, pork, chicken and Brazilian sausage. Definitely bring your appetite with you when coming here. The food coma will be real!

4. DoveCote Brasserie

DoveCote Brasserie offers New-age French-American Cuisine. Make sure you try their Dovecote Crème Brulee!

5. Umi Winter Park

Umi offers sushi and sashimi, Robata Charcoal grilled meats, seafood & vegetables, and specialty fusion dishes. I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about their Matcha Tiramisu.

Address: 525 South Park Avenue Winter Park, FL 32789

6. The Ravenous Pig

The Ravenous Pig serves inventive, seasonal gastropub cuisine, alongside house-made charcuterie and extensive cocktail, craft beer and wine selections. Haven’t seen anything about any menu items specifically, just that their food is amazing all around!

7. STK

STK is located in Disney Springs and defines the modern fine dining experience with incredible food, world-class service, and the perfect atmosphere. It has been suggested to try their Shaved Brussel Sprouts and Orange Dream Cheesecake.
