Orlando’s Most Expensive Restaurants in 2025

most expensive restaurants in Orlando

Once known primarily for theme parks and family-friendly dining, Orlando has quietly evolved into one of the Southeast’s most exciting fine-dining destinations. The city’s culinary scene has matured dramatically in recent years, fueled by the arrival of Michelin inspectors, a growing community of ambitious chefs, and diners eager for world-class experiences.

According to new research by Chef’s Pencil, Orlando’s most expensive restaurants reflect this transformation — blending luxury, creativity, and exceptional craftsmanship. And just like in other American culinary capitals such as New York, Los Angeles or Atlanta, the top end of Orlando’s dining scene is dominated by Japanese and omakase-inspired restaurants, alongside a handful of French-influenced and contemporary American tasting experiences.

However, unlike in most cities, Orlando’s most expensive restaurant isn’t Japanese—a distinction that sets it apart from trends seen elsewhere.

Many of Orlando’s priciest restaurants are clustered around luxury resorts and high-end districts, rather than downtown. Fine-dining destinations like Victoria & Albert’s and Cítricos are located within Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, while Capa crowns the Four Seasons at Walt Disney World. Others, such as Kadence and Soseki, have carved out reputations in Winter Park and Audubon Park, two of the city’s most creative culinary neighborhoods.

It’s a pattern that mirrors Orlando’s broader identity — a city where world-class hospitality meets local innovation, and where some of the best meals are found just a few miles from the theme parks.

Our ranking is based on each restaurant’s most expensive tasting menu (or, where no tasting menu is offered, the highest-priced three-course à la carte option).

Note: This ranking is based on each restaurant’s highest-priced tasting menu or the cost of a three-course meal (starter, main, and dessert) from the à la carte menu. Most of these establishments also offer more moderately priced menus or à la carte options, making them accessible to a wider range of diners.

1. Victoria & Albert’s – Up to $425 (1 Michelin Star)

Address: 4401 Floridian Way, Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830

Located in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Victoria & Albert’s is the crown jewel of Orlando fine dining — and its most expensive restaurant. With one Michelin star, exquisite service, and a commitment to perfection in every detail, the restaurant offers a tasting menu that can exceed $425 per person, depending on seasonal ingredients and wine pairings.

Expect artful dishes, rare wines, and an ambiance reminiscent of classic European luxury — all just steps away from the Magic Kingdom.

2. Ômo by Jônt – $375 (1 Michelin Star)

Address: 115 E Lyman Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789

A culinary homecoming for Chef Ryan Ratino of Washington D.C.’s two-Michelin-starred Jônt, Ômo by Jônt brings cutting-edge fine dining to Winter Park with flair and precision. Ratino, an Orlando Le Cordon Bleu graduate (permanently closed in 2017), blends Japanese ingredients, French technique, and modern creativity into one of the city’s most refined dining experiences.

Guests begin their evening in a chic lounge with small bites — think warm brioche with pineapple jam and foie gras — and Krug Champagne, before moving to a 16-seat counter for a progression of artfully plated seafood and seasonal produce, including Japanese imports like Bafun uni and Akamutsu. Desserts are equally thoughtful, featuring kakigori shaved tableside and Jônt’s signature mignardises.

At $375 per person, Ômo by Jônt offers an extraordinary tasting experience that manages to be both elevated and refreshingly relaxed, thanks to its upbeat staff and hip-hop soundtrack. It’s one of Orlando’s most distinctive and creative fine-dining venues — where world-class technique meets Florida warmth.

3. Sorekara – $345 (2 Michelin Stars)

Address: 4979 New Broad St, Orlando, FL 32814

The only two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Orlando, Sorekara represents the pinnacle of minimalist luxury. This intimate omakase experience celebrates seasonality and subtlety through a Japanese lens, featuring beautifully plated courses that evolve throughout the evening.

At $345 per person, it’s an extraordinary journey for serious gourmands — one that easily rivals top-tier dining in Chicago or New York.

4. Capa – $325 (1 Michelin Star)

Address: 10100 Dream Tree Blvd, Lake Buena Vista, FL 32836

Perched atop the Four Seasons Resort Orlando, Capa combines Spanish-inspired flavors with a modern steakhouse sensibility. Its Michelin-starred tasting menu and sweeping views of the Disney skyline make it a favorite for special occasions.

The restaurant earned its Michelin star for a reason — its menu balances artistry and decadence, all framed by panoramic views of the Walt Disney World skyline.

Among its standout offerings are a lavish mariscada featuring oysters, crab salad, shrimp, and tuna crudo, an exceptional Miyazaki Wagyu Flight showcasing American, Australian, and Japanese A5 Wagyu — a true showcase of global excellence in beef, as well as a chef’s selection of artisan cheeses.

With luxurious ingredients, elegant plating, and an atmosphere that feels both upscale and relaxed, Capa combines the warmth of Spanish hospitality with the precision of world-class dining. It’s not just one of Orlando’s priciest restaurants — it’s one of its most memorable.

5. Kadence – $321 (1 Michelin Star)

Address: 1809 Winter Park Rd, Orlando, FL 32803

Located in the Audubon Park District, Kadence is a sushi lover’s dream. This minimalist, chef-driven restaurant offers an omakase-only menu that highlights pristine ingredients and traditional techniques.

The $321 tasting changes with the market, emphasizing fish flown directly from Japan. Seating is limited, ensuring each diner receives a personal, immersive experience that reflects the artistry of true Japanese dining.

6. Soseki – $255 (1 Michelin Star)

Address:955 W Fairbanks Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789

Soseki is another standout in Orlando’s growing Japanese fine-dining scene. Helmed by Chef Mike Collantes, the restaurant offers a seasonal 15-course omakase menu that integrates Florida-sourced ingredients into a Japanese framework. At $255 per person, it’s one of the most creative dining experiences in the city — intimate, narrative-driven, and highly personal.

7. Kabooki Sushi – $250

Address: 3122 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32803, United States

Kabooki Sushi, led by Chef Henry Moso, delivers bold, boundary-pushing Japanese cuisine in a lively, modern setting. While less formal than traditional omakase venues, the $250 tasting menu showcases the same precision and flair, often featuring luxurious ingredients like truffles, A5 Wagyu, and toro. It’s a favorite among locals seeking top-tier sushi with a touch of edge.

8. Sear + Sea – $250

Address: 14900 Chelonia Pkwy, Orlando, FL 32821

Located inside the JW Marriott Bonnet Creek, Sear + Sea offers a refined steak and seafood experience that rivals Orlando’s best. With an emphasis on premium cuts and expertly prepared seafood, the restaurant’s most luxurious three-course menu can reach $250 per person, particularly with specialty options like dry-aged tomahawk or Maine lobster. Think classic luxury with a modern twist.

9. Cítricos – $231

Address:  4401 Disney’s Grand Floridian, Orlando, FL 32830

Located at Disney’s Grand Floridian, Cítricos combines Floridian flavors with Mediterranean inspiration. The menu balances sophistication with approachability — think oak-grilled filet mignon with potato purée and sherry-guajillo jus, or an artisanal cheese selection with honeycomb, quince paste, and pumpkin seed brittle.

While the mains themselves aren’t among the city’s most expensive, those looking to truly indulge can start their meal with Royal Osetra caviar — a $150 luxury appetizer served with crème fraîche, caperberries, and toasted brioche. It’s a fitting reflection of Cítricos’ spirit: refined, welcoming, and capable of turning a Disney evening into something truly special.

10. Nami – $225

Address: 6004 Artist Ave, Orlando, FL 32827

Nami, the signature restaurant at Lake Nona Wave Hotel, offers a sleek, high-design space where modern Japanese dining meets artistic presentation. The $225 chef’s tasting blends global influences with traditional omakase sensibilities, highlighting the precision and creativity of Orlando’s new culinary wave.

11. Camille – $195 (1 Michelin Star)

Address: 4962 New Broad St, Orlando, FL 32814

A unique fusion of French and Vietnamese cuisine, Camille has earned a Michelin star for its distinctive tasting menu and Chef Tung Phan’s refined vision. At $195 per person, the experience is elegant yet soulful — showcasing local ingredients reimagined through a multicultural lens.

12. Primo – $195

Address: 4040 Central Florida Pkwy, Orlando, FL 32837

Chef Melissa Kelly’s Primo remains one of Orlando’s enduring farm-to-table landmarks. The restaurant’s philosophy of sustainability and seasonal sourcing shines through its Mediterranean-inspired menu.

The Mediterranean-inspired menu showcases bold flavors and honest ingredients, from a charcuterie board of pâté de campagne, ham hock terrine, and chicken liver mousse to the signature Primo Bistecca, a $150 rosemary- and fennel-pollen–rubbed steak served with chimichurri and charred broccoli.

At around $195 for its most expensive three-course meal, Primo delivers refined comfort and ingredient-driven cooking that reflects both culinary craftsmanship and conscience — the kind of meal that satisfies the palate and the planet.

13. Papa Llama – $150 (1 Michelin Star)

Address: 2840 Curry Ford Rd, Orlando, FL 32806

Papa Llama brings modern Peruvian cuisine to Orlando with style and depth. At $150, its tasting menu offers vibrant flavors — ceviche, causa, and Amazonian spices — all reimagined through fine-dining precision. Small, intimate, and full of heart, it’s one of the most distinctive Michelin-starred experiences in Florida.

14. Bacán – $150

Address: 6100 Wave Hotel Dr, Orlando, FL 32827

Located in the Lake Nona Wave Hotel, Bacán delivers a lively blend of Latin American flavors and upscale flair. Its chef-driven menu showcases bright, bold ingredients in a visually striking dining room. With tasting menus around $150, Bacán captures the energy and diversity of modern Orlando cuisine.

15. Juju – $120

Address:  700 Maguire Blvd, Orlando, FL 32803

Playful and eclectic, Juju rounds out the list with a vibrant menu rooted in Japanese and Latin influences. Though less formal, its $120 three-course menu features beautifully composed dishes and inventive cocktails — proof that luxury dining in Orlando isn’t confined to tradition.

Orlando’s Rising Fine-Dining Scene

With nine Michelin-starred restaurants and several more earning recommendations, Orlando’s fine-dining landscape is thriving. The city’s most expensive restaurants reveal a clear trend: a deep appreciation for Japanese precision, ingredient quality, and global technique.

And while prices at the top end can certainly rival Miami’s, they haven’t quite reached New York City levels. Still, Orlando’s fine-dining scene remains uniquely approachable — a blend of creativity, warmth, and technical mastery that’s redefining what luxury dining means in Central Florida.
