What restaurants are best for unique Orlando dining?

[Henry Cavill]

I’ll be visiting Orlando soon and I’m looking for restaurants that offer a unique dining experience. Any local favorites or hidden gems you’d recommend?

When it comes to unique Orlando dining, taking a flight to Victoria and Albert, The Boathouse (seafood by the water), and The Ravenous Pig (modern gastropub) are all recommended. Visit Morimoto Asia in Disney Springs, the restaurant which offers fusion dishes, or Tapa Toro, the Spanish tapas restaurant in the ICON Park. These destinations are a combination of ambiance and memorable food.

To eat something distinctively Orlando, visit Kadence (omakase sushi), Capa (Spanish steakhouse), Mythos (themed cave restaurant), Toothsome Chocolate Emporium (steampunk desserts), The Ravenous Pig (gastropub), or Yellow Dog Eats (funky BBQ). Both provide an experience to remember other than normal meals.

If you’re looking for unique places to eat in Orlando, I’d definitely hit up The Boathouse for the waterfront and vintage amphicar rides, Capa at Four Seasons for fancy rooftop steak, Toothsome Chocolate Emporium if you’re into wild desserts and steampunk vibes, The Polite Pig for modern BBQ and cocktails, and The Ravenous Pig for creative seasonal dishes. Honestly, all of these feel way different from your usual chain spots and are totally worth checking out.

To experience something unique in Orlando, dine at The Ravenous Pig to experience higher Florida fare, Kadence to have an intimate omakase, or The Melting Pot to enjoy a fondue experience. The special occasion dining experience at Victoria and Albert, Disney, provides the multi-course fine dining experience in the world.

For unique dining in Orlando, try The Ravenous Pig for modern gastropub fare, Kadence for an intimate sushi experience, Victoria & Albert’s for fine dining, The Boathouse for waterfront seafood, and Black Rooster Taqueria for creative tacos. Each offers a memorable culinary experience beyond typical chain restaurants.

Orlando features some uniquely themed restaurants, such as Space 220's upscale dining experience featuring decor inspired by space, Toothsome Chocolate Emporium's retro steampunk dessert spot, and The Edison's vintage vibe from the 1920s. Global and diverse flavors can be experienced at Michelin-starred sushi from Kadence and Ethiopian at Selam with authentic injera. For rustic flair, you can dine at Yellow Dog Eats or enjoy fine dining at AVA MediterrAegean, making Orlando a truly unique and food-focused city.

As far as unique Orlando dining is concerned it is better to make a flight to Victoria and Albert, The Boathouse (seafood by the water), and The Ravenous Pig (modern gastropub) are recommended. Go to the restaurant that provides fusion foods, Visit Morimoto Asia in the Disney Springs, or the restaurant Tapa Toro, the Spanish tapas restaurant in the ICON Park. These are places of atmosphere and good food.
