What is Orlando’s Magical Dining?

Now in its 20th year, Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining presented by Orlando Health showcases over 150 restaurants across the region, offering prix-fixe menus at fixed prices. This annual event helps support local businesses during the off-season and gives diners a chance to explore new restaurants, cuisines, and neighborhoods.

Even better? Each meal supports a good cause. For every $40 meal purchased, $1 is donated to charity. For every $60 meal, $2 is donated. In 2025, all proceeds will benefit the REED Charitable Foundation, which helps improve literacy through affordable and accessible educator training.

1. Choose your restaurant: Browse participating restaurants and their 2025 menus on the official Magical Dining website.
2. Make a reservation spots fill fast, especially on weekends. Over 90 restaurants offer outdoor seating.
3. Ask for the Magical Dining menu: Make sure to request the special prix-fixe menu when you're seated.
