Elevate Your Orlando Getaway with Magical Dining® and Rentyl Resorts July 1, 2025

Orlando is known for its world-class attractions, but if you ask us, its culinary scene deserves just as much of the spotlight. From fresh seafood to flame-grilled perfection and globally inspired flavors, the city is packed with unforgettable dining experiences. Staying at Rentyl Resorts puts you right in the middle of it all.

If you’re planning a romantic escape, a fun-filled family vacation, or a gourmet getaway with friends, this season brings one of our favorite events of the year, Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining®. Plus, we’ve rounded up some of the top signature restaurants nearby that make every evening out feel like a celebration

Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining®

Every year from mid-August through early October, Orlando’s top restaurants come together to serve up incredible three-course prix-fixe menus for a great value. It’s a chance to try high-end meals in some of the city’s best dining rooms while supporting a good cause. A portion of proceeds from every meal benefits Mustard Seed of Central Florida, a nonprofit helping families in need. Your dinner does a little extra good.

What It Includes

Each Magical Dining experience features a curated three-course menu with a selection of appetizers, entrées, and desserts. Menus are designed by each restaurant’s chef to showcase house specialties or seasonal flavors.

Dietary Needs Welcome

Many participating restaurants offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, and are happy to accommodate dietary requests with advance notice. It’s inclusive, flavorful, and easy to enjoy for everyone in your group.

Make a Reservation

Some restaurants accept walk-ins, but reservations are strongly recommended, especially for popular dates and venues. It’s the best way to lock in your table and make the most of this limited-time culinary celebration
