All of these locations will be offering a three-course prix-fixe menu for $40 or $60. Either $1 or $2 out of the cost will go to The Mustard Seed of Central Florida, a local charity that focuses on serving individuals and families whose lives have been impacted by personal tragedy, natural disasters and financial hardship.
“With record participation for 2024, Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining continues to shine a spotlight on Orlando’s vibrant and expanding culinary scene, offers diners delicious meals at even better prices and, best of all, benefits a local charity,” said Casandra Matej, president & CEO of Visit Orlando. “As we celebrate our 19th season, we are pleased to welcome Orlando Health as our presenting sponsor, and we look forward to our community coming together to support this year’s charity recipient, The Mustard Seed of Central Florida, a fantastic organization focused on community sustainability.”
