August 5, 2026
Orlando's favorite dining event is back for its 21st year—and it's bigger than ever. From August 14 through September 30, 2026, Visit Orlando's Magical Dining returns with a record-breaking lineup of more than 180 participating restaurants, giving food lovers six weeks to enjoy three-course, prix-fixe menus for $40 or $60 per person, plus tax and gratuity.
Whether you're craving an elegant steakhouse dinner, handcrafted Italian cuisine, fresh sushi, or an inventive chef-driven tasting experience, Magical Dining offers one of the best opportunities of the year to explore Central Florida's diverse culinary scene at an exceptional value. This year's lineup includes dozens of returning favorites alongside an exciting collection of first-time participants making their Magical Dining debut.
Best of all, every meal helps support a great cause. One dollar from every $40 meal and two dollars from every $60 meal will benefit OCA (Opportunity, Community, Ability), helping provide therapy scholarships and programs that support individuals with autism and other developmental differences. Visit Orlando will also award $3,000 grants to six local nonprofits across Orange County that share OCA's mission, allowing every meal to make an even greater impact throughout the community.
Planning your culinary adventure is simple at MagicalDining.com, where you can browse participating restaurants by location, cuisine, menu price, dietary preferences, and MICHELIN recognition. Reservations are strongly encouraged through OpenTable or directly with each restaurant, especially for weekends and popular dining destinations.
