Check out 5 restaurants to meet in Orlando, USA:
Domu
About 15 minutes drive from the center of Orlando, the Domu It is a crowded noodle bar with a lot of hope, divided into two parts: the bar in front, where it is possible to taste drinks while waiting for the table; and the restaurant, which is in another hall.
As the experience already promised to be very interesting, we expect just over two hours to enter. But besides the curiosity to know Domu, another reason also kept us in line: we do not live without ramen!
There, we ordered a brulée egg, which is a slightly unusual but interesting dish. We never imagined it was tasty, and surprised us positively. It is noteworthy that the restaurant has the distinction Bible Gourmand, a category of the Michelin guide that defines cost-effective houses.
Domu: 3201 Corne Dr., 100, Orlando, 32803, United States / opening hours: Sunday to Thursday, from 17h to 22h; Friday and Saturday from 17h to 23h; Happy Hour every day, from 17h to 18h30 (all night on Tuesdays); and brunch from Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 2:30 pm.
TASTE OF CHENGDU
Another Bib Gourmand restaurant we indicate is the TASTE OF CHENGDU only 10 minutes car from the center of Orlando. We were unpretentiously in this unit of the house – which has another address at West Colonial Drive – and we were surprised.
It is a balanced and tasty food, of a unique and delicate flavor, unusual in Chinese dishes. It is important to highlight that the kitchen of the site is focused on dishes of the Chengdu region, in the province of Sichuan. We like and recommend it.
TASTE OF CHENGDU: 4856 New Broad St., Orlando, 32814, United States / opening hours: Sunday and Tuesday to Thursday, from 11:30 am to 9:30 pm; Friday and Saturday from 11:30 to 22:30. Closed on Mondays / Check the website For information about the other address.
Nod
A little farther from the center, about 30 minutes by car, the Nod It is a sushi omakase with only eight seats in the counter in the middle of a shed that mixes market and gastronomic space. This is Plant St. Market in Winter Park, with about 20 vendinhas from the most diverse specialties.
No Norigami, which also appears in the Bible Michelin Bible Gourmand selection, young sushimen serve sushi with well -designed creative toppings. We really enjoyed the mixture, but we assumed that we are sad with the lack of sake to taste by the plate.
Nod: 426 W. Plant St., Winter Garden, 34787, United States / Opening Hours: Tuesday to Thursday, from 17h to 21h30; Friday to Sunday, from 12h to 21h30. Closed on Mondays.
TORI TORI
THE TORI TORI It is a must -see restaurant in the famous Mills Avenue, located in one of Orlando’s oldest neighborhoods: Mills 50 . The house is among the recommended Michelin Guide and has an English Pub vibe, also referring to an Izakaya.
There, it is possible to ask for good food and many drinks. It is a very interesting address and one of the few options of Asian restaurants in the city that are open until later.
But beware: there is no way to reserve tables and entry is in order of arrival. The house is often quite disputed on Fridays and weekends. After 9 pm, only people are over 21 years old, with document verification at the door.
Tori Tori: 720 N. Mills Ave., Orlando, 32803, United States / opening hours: from Sunday to Thursday, from 17h to 1h (kitchen closes 0h); Friday and Saturday, from 17h to 2h (kitchen closes at 1am).
Zaru
The restaurant Zaru specializes in Sanuki Udon a style of pasta made with wheat, typical of Kagawa province, Japan. The house, which received the distinction Bib Gourmand in the Michelin 2025 guide, is right in downtown Orlando, in the famous colonial East Drive.
It is worth asking the Tatsuta-Agage entries, a type of fried chicken, and Yaki Gyoza, made with pork. Another highlight is the Ikura Onsen, prepared with a covered leefly egg.
Zaru: 1114 E. Colonial Dr., Orlando, 32803, United States / opening hours: Monday to Friday, from 11:30 am to 9:30 pm; Saturday from 11am to 9:30 pm; and Sunday from 11am to 8:30 pm.
