New Noteworthy Restaurants Enter the Orlando Scene

The city of Orlando offers a rich combination of arts, entertainment and of course, dining attractions for people of all ages. Especially in the past decade, Orlando has matured into a culinary destination offering a variety of dining experiences, from high-end seafood to traditional Cuban and Brazilian fare. Both tourists and locals of Orlando have many new fine dining venues to choose from.

The newly opened Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar is part restaurant, part dance club offering modern Cuban dishes like grilled skirt steak and mojo-marinated roast pork. After dinner, grab a mijito and view the floor shows or join in on salsa dancing.

Citrus Restaurant is a relatively new establishment conveniently located on Orange Avenue in downtown Orlando, voted “Best Restaurant Downtown” by Orlando Magazine. The contemporary restaurant offers American fare with a Latin twist and uses locally-sourced ingredients with a menu that features blue crab cakes, bacon-wrapped scallops and yellow fin tuna.

The Funky Monkey Wine Company is as eclectic as it sounds. It offers a lively atmosphere with a popular half-price Sushi Monday promotion. The Funky Monkey hosts monthly wine dinners featuring wines from around the world. Located in downtown Orlando on North Mills Avenue, the eatery is just a few blocks away from an after-dinner stroll at Lake Eola.

For those who crave to be in the center of fine dining and entertainment, the VUE at Lake Eola condominiums is right in the heart of downtown Orlando. Gourmet eateries and five-star dining is just a walk away. The Lake Eola condos offer residents the unique experience of an urban lifestyle filled with food, culture, arts and entertainment. Living at the VUE Lake Eola means living in the center of the action and exploring all the city has to offer.
