DRMumbai: Foodies can begin making reservations for Orlando’s most popular restaurant month: Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining Month, sponsored by American Express. The programme extends from August 24 to September 30 with several firsts including 19 new participating restaurants including numerous diverse cuisines and vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free menu options.
The programme was designed by Visit Orlando to showcase the wide variety of upscale and diverse dining throughout the destination, while also helping children in need. More than 100 restaurants from across the destination will participate, with each offering a three-course, prix fixe dinner menu for just $35 per person. And, one dollar from every meal served is donated to a local charity.
“Our Magical Dining programme has become so popular that we now have visitors and residents wanting to make reservations well over a month in advance, just to ensure they get their top choices,” said George Aguel, President and CEO,Visit Orlando.
“We are delighted to see that people are eager for the programme to kick off. That’s good news as it helps spread the word about Orlando’s incredible dining options, and also gives back to children in our local community.”
The updated website OrlandoMagicalDining.com has also been launched, which includes the full list of participating restaurants, menus and – for the first time – designated options for vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free diets. OpenTable reservations are also available now.
The wide range of venues spans from Disney Springs to Restaurant Row near the convention center, as well as burgeoning neighborhood districts in downtown Orlando, Winter Park and beyond. Through Visit Orlando, one dollar from every meal served during Magical Dining Month is donated to children in need.
This year, the programme will help children affected by intellectual and developmental disabilities, though donations to Best Buddies and The Down Syndrome Association, Central Florida.
