Cheap Places to Eat in Orlando

"And at King Bao, a Mills 50 purveyor of this trendy, if ancient, Asian steamed bun delicacy, cheap. King Bao's fluffy, doughy handhelds are beyond reasonable – $7 for a two-bao combo, $9 for three – and stuff loads of fatty, crunchy, crispy, creamy and a whole bunch of other adjectives into their tender buns. And we didn't write that sentence just to use the phrase "tender buns." Mostly."

"Yard House is the modern American gathering place where food and beer lovers unite. The Orlando location on International Drive offers 140 taps of local, craft and import draft beers, an array of handcrafted cocktails and a globally-inspired menu featuring more than 100 made-from-scratch favorites."

"First Watch promises to offer the freshest taste in town, and boy do they deliver. If you like your avocado toast thick and fresh, your muffins baked that day or your French toast batter made from scratch, First Watch is the place for you. With the menu offering everything from steel cut oatmeal and elevated egg sandwiches through to homemade chocolate chip pancakes, every order at First Watch is made fresh on the premises every day."

"Summer doesn’t officially begin until next week, but it’s already summer-hot, so we may as well say it’s here. Which is just fine because First Watch’s summer menu specials are also available now. And as I do every three months, I headed to First Watch to have a sample, humming a little Vivaldi along the way."

"Eddie V’s Prime Seafood may be a chain restaurant, but it’s not like any chain you’ve come across before. With its artful combination of attentive service, classic dishes, and intimate ambiance, it feels more like the kind of restaurant you’d choose for a special occasion than the kind that comes with a drive-thru. The menu is crammed with excellent dishes, but if you have to choose (which, unfortunately, you do, this being a restaurant an’ all) the Oyster Rockefeller and South African Lobster Pot won’t disappoint."

"If you’re looking for the best seafood restaurants in Orlando then look no further than Eddie V’s. Serving fresh seafood and premium hand-cut steaks, this fine-dining restaurant has a fancy cocktail lounge with live jazz. The menu consists of highly-prized seasonal fish including Norwegian salmon, South African lobster and Georges Bank scallops."

"Eddie V’s Prime Seafood has a winning combination of mouthwatering seafood, aged steaks, and dazzling live music. Fine dining at its best, soak in the sophisticated ambiance of romantically lit rooms with soulful jazz that fills the air as you dine on dishes like jumbo lump crab cake, Chilean sea bass, and filet mignon."

"At La Luce, the crisp salads, thin-crust pizzas and hearty, old world recipes (the tender-delicious rabbit cacciatore, hunter-style, over sumptuous ricotta gnocchi comes to mind) are designed to satisfy. And the setting, the swanky Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, may be minutes from Disney World but La Luce's relaxing atmosphere is light years from the frenetic pace of the parks, ideal for a nice family dinner or romantic evening for two. Inspired by famed Napa Valley chef and restaurateur Donna Scala, La Luce fuses traditional Italian cuisine with the modern and creative flair of northern California to create special cuisine with ingredients that are often locally sourced."

"La Luce is the signature fine-dining restaurant in Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, which takes its inspiration from the famous Napa Valley restaurateur and chef, Donna Scala. This contemporary Italian rustic kitchen offers dinner nightly, which includes homemade pasta, thin-crust pizzas, and Italian cuisines based on classic family recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation. The meals are best paired with a vintage from their Trattoria-style wine program or a Mediterranean-inspired cocktails."

"La Luce serves modern Italian cuisine inspired by Napa Valley famed chef Donna Scala. Dishes are inspired by traditional family recipes that have been handed down for generations. Enjoy freshly handmade pastas, pizzas, and seafood in a contemporary setting overlooking the sprawling lazy river pool."

"Leave it to me to go to a juice shop and find the closest thing to a dessert. At the Orlando location you can get soft SWERVE ice cream and add the toppings of your choice. The vanilla and chocolate soft swerve is a frozen blend of homemade coconut base and 5g of plant based protein per serving!"
