Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining Month is back from Aug. 23 to Sept. 30 October 7th (yeah – we know that’s more than a Month). With more than 120 fine dining restaurants to choose from, it can be daunting and for newbies, it can be even more difficult to find out how to navigate through the month.

Here is TastyChomps’ Guide to Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining 2019

1. How Does It Work? From Aug. 23 to Sept. 30 October 7th due to Hurricane Dorian (traditionally slower months for restaurants as kids head back to school and parents back to work), you can dine on haute cuisine from more than 120 fine dining restaurants all over Orlando featuring $35 three-course (or more), prix fixe dinner menus. It’s a great time to explore restaurants you may have never been before and for many diners, it might be their first time at that particular restaurant.

2. The Full Menus: Start off here first at OrlandoMagicalDining.com for a full list of restaurants that can be organized by region and features menus, including special options for vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free diets, and the ability to make dining reservations directly though OpenTable. Go through the menus and read what might be appetizing to you.

3. Do Make Reservations. Magical Dining can get very popular this month (looking at you Texas De Brazil) so reservations are generally encouraged to make sure you don’t show up and find the restaurant is booked. Ironically, since this is a slow time of year, there are a few restaurants who might not be open a few days during the beginning of Magical Dining Month.

3. Do Tip Well. Some of these meals are heavily discounted – do try to tip accordingly as tip and tax is not included.

4. Do Ask for the Magical Dining Menu. As the restaurants are still operating with their normal every day menus, at most restaurants you will have to ask the server for the Magical Dining menus.

5. $1 From each Magical Dining Meal to Help Local Orlando Charities: One dollar from every meal served for Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining to Benefit Suicide Prevention in Teens, and Help Visually Impaired Children through the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Greater Orlando and Lighthouse Central Florida. Last year over $250,000 was raised.

6. Check Out the Menu Upgrades – for a little more you can get lobster tail and other add-ons depending on the menu. Look out for that!

Here are some of Tasty Chomps’ Restaurant Recommendations for Magical Dining Month 2019

Note – there are many restaurants on the list that are fabulous, these are just my picks that I would go too personally. Depending on your taste and what you like, you should definitely look through the menus and choose your own adventures!! Go out and explore!
