Dining Out
One thing Orlando has no shortage of is places to eat 75 million visitors can get pretty hungry. The parks have a mix of fast-food and gourmet experiences, International Drive has a concentration of midrange and high-end chains, while Downtown and Winter Park have thriving dining scenes focused on fusion and field-to-fork cuisine.

In the Parks
Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort feed the multitudes with a dizzying selection of themed restaurants and takeaway outlets. Most of it is (tasty) fast-food fare, but there are some exceptional choices throughout, especially in Epcots World Showcase and Universals CityWalk. The higher-end resort hotels also have some fine-dining restaurants.
International Drive
The 5-mile stretch of Sand Lake Rd from I-4 (at Whole Foods) west to Apopka-Vineland Rd, and including Dr Phillips Blvd, is known as Restaurant Row. Here youll find a concentration of restaurants and high-end chains more popular with locals than tourists, with everything from wine bars to cigar bars, sushi to burgers. I-Drive is also home to the worlds biggest McDonalds.
Downtown Orlando
Dozens of Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese and other Asian eateries cluster along several blocks of Orlandos Mills 50 neighborhood. Winter Park has a great selection of farm-to-fork eateries, as does Downtown, particularly around W Church St.
