A Magical Dining Experience on International Drive

Magical Dining Month, sponsored by American Express, is one of the most eventful times in Orlando. Restaurants from International Drive and beyond work with Visit Orlando to offer a three course, prix fixe meal for $35. The meals, which require reservations, are delicious and give every foodie the opportunity to sample fine cuisine at a deliciously discounted price. Magical Dining is not only good for the wallet, but also good for the soul. One dollar from every meal benefits Freedom Ride & BASE Camp Children’s Foundation.

 

Here on International Drive, there are 25 restaurants bringing a vibrant culinary experience to Magical Dining Month.

 

Looking for a specific taste? Here’s what you can expect to find in our neighborhood.

Vegetarians rejoice! Magical Dining Month has plenty of dining options for those who want to go out with the gang but still stick to their plant based diet. Family owned Ciao Italia Ristorante Italiano offers a vegetarian Rigatoni alla Siciliana entrée on their Magical Dining menu.

Inspired by the freshest ingredients, Copper Canyon Grill serves up the Chef’s Vegetable Creation while Cuba Libre serves up a Grilled Vegetable Paella. In need of comfort food? Itta Bena offers a Stuffed Portobello Mushroom prepared with basic pesto rice. Not to be outdone, Tapa Toro encourages their non-meat eating guests to request a vegetarian entrée.
