Summer’s end is near, and that can only mean one thing—Magical Dining Month is here! With restaurants all over Orlando serving up their best dishes at magical prices, it’s a perfect excuse to re-energize your dining routine. .
Lake Buena Vista:
It’s all-you-can-eat, plus a little extra this month at American Q. Choose from a selection of three appetizers (we recommend their signature Swine Candy), then dig in to the Flatbed Buffet, stocked with scrumptious sides and get ready for tableside carvings of meat, smoked in-house on the rodizio. (Not up for all-you-can-eat-fare? Check out the Memphis Baby Back Ribs or Butter Poached & Blackened NY Strip!) Make sure you save some room for dessert—a slice of S’mores Pie will hit that sweet spot. American Q has some seriously fun eats. For more on our review, click here.
Downtown:
Southern classics get a contemporary spin at Soco. Chef Greg Richie is serving up the finest in comfort cuisine this Magical Dining Month, with a menu selection of house favorites such as Slow Roasted Barbeque-Glazed Pork Belly Biscuits andGrilled Meatloaf on Lobster Mashed Potatoes. Come dessert time, it’s a toss-up between the Southern Belle, warm apple & oatmeal spice cake, coconut, pink peppercorn whiskey syrup; or the Bourbon Banana Pudding, a vanilla wafer waffle with caramelized banana and toasted meringue. And have you seen our latest Soco review? Read all about it here.
Restaurant Row:
You’ll want to save room for everything from the robata at Dragonfly Robata Grill & Sushi, where the Magical Dining menu is a three-course immersion in the Japanese dining experience. Start the journey with a bowl of Katsuobushi Miso Soup, then see where the night takes you with entrée selections such as Braised Short Ribs and Robata-Grilled Chickens Thighs.
International Drive:
The Capital Grille. Done. Enough said, right? Read our latest review here.
