Omakase is a style of dining where guests place their trust in the chef, allowing them to curate a multi-course tasting menu served in a specific progression. Rather than ordering from a menu, diners experience each course as it is prepared and presented, often seated at the counter and guided through the meal in real time.

In Orlando, omakase’s have been gaining renown acclaim through Michelin Guide awards and more, each with its own approach, pacing, and level of formality.

This guide breaks down the omakase options available in Orlando and nearby areas, highlighting where to book, how each experience is structured, and what diners should know before reserving.
