This is a city that has some of the most diverse and exciting cooking in the country, so we wanted to put together an Orlando bucket list for foodies to enjoy. These are the dishes that you simply cannot visit the city and not try!
The sort of food that is worth forgetting about the diet and gym for one day for, just enjoying every wonderful mouthful. Life really won’t get much better than eating these dishes.
So without further ado, prepare to drool and enjoy our Orlando bucket list for foodies…
The classic “Tavern” Burger comes topped with house-made tomato bacon jam and is the perfect size to just pick up with both hands and devour without any cutlery. A friendly bar with a regular crowd and some great happy hour offers. Simply put, it’s a fun place to spend time in.
Pizza Bruno is a classic Neapolitan-style pizzeria with dough that takes 48 hours to prove with the pizza itself then being cooked in just 90 seconds.
They pride themselves on using the best ingredients – think California tomatoes and imported Italian sausage. The end result? A pizza which seems super simple but in reality has been prepared with immense attention to detail.
This super popular local chain now has 25 locations across the state of Florida and is generally just a great place to hang out and have fun. Sports on the TVs, great happy hours and some of the best wings in the business. Perfection.
Market On South is a plant-based local restaurant, bakery, bar and shared market for local producers. The droolworthy Nopales Tacos are filled with Jackfruit carnitas and smoked napoles cactus.
Sweet tooth? You won’t want to miss what may be some of the best vegan doughnuts in town, a Valhalla Bakery doughnut. With flavours like PB-Pretzel, classic glaze, or their Fruity Pebbles-topped doughnuts, the only hard part is choosing just one.
White Wolf Cafe & Bar is an award-winning, gourmet bistro serving breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner.
The venue itself is what makes the place so special with a unique look and buzzing atmosphere. The sort of place as soon as you walk in you know you are going to be well fed. For something special and unique try their eggs benedict with shrimp.
This is a no-frills, all-flavour showstopper of a restaurant. If you want a serious feast full of authentic island tastes, this is the place for you. No wonder it’s one of the best Puerto Rican restaurants in Orlando.
Service is fast, portions are big, and the mofongo stuffed with chicken is out of this world. Grillers ticks all the boxes.
The difference with their steaks is that they have been cooking them on wood custom-built pits for over 40 years. The meat is expertly sourced and you simply won’t believe just how tasty it is.
Along with some great sides this is a dish that simply has to be on your Orlando bucket list.
