Central Florida's dining scene spans Restaurant Row on Sand Lake Road, Winter Park's Park Avenue, College Park's Edgewater Drive, Plant Street in Winter Garden, and a growing number of neighborhood dining corridors across the metro.
Talk to an AgentCentral Florida's restaurant scene has developed substantially — moving well beyond theme park dining to build genuine local food culture across Dr. Phillips, Winter Park, College Park, Thornton Park, and the growing corridors of Winter Garden and Lake Nona. Individual restaurants open, close, and change regularly — always verify current operating status directly with any restaurant before visiting.
West Sand Lake Road in Dr. Phillips hosts Central Florida's densest fine dining corridor — 20+ restaurants from steakhouses and seafood to sushi, Turkish, Latin, and more.
Park Avenue's dining scene runs from casual brunch to sophisticated dinner — walkable from Rollins College and the Saturday Farmers Market.
Historic Plant Street in downtown Winter Garden has breweries, independent restaurants, and Saturday Farmers Market on the West Orange Trail trailhead.
Thornton Park's Washington Street and the broader downtown corridor offer urban dining in proximity to the Amway Center, Lake Eola, and the Dr. Phillips Center.
Dr. Phillips' Restaurant Row is the metro's most celebrated dining concentration. The Dellagio Town Center and surrounding blocks on West Sand Lake Road draw diners from throughout Central Florida nightly. Verify current restaurant status before visiting — the corridor sees regular turnover.
Walkable restaurants and cafes along Park Avenue serve brunch, lunch, and dinner for residents of Winter Park and visitors to Rollins College. The Saturday Farmers Market adds fresh-market produce and prepared food vendors weekly.
Edgewater Drive in College Park has a neighborhood restaurant strip with independent eateries in a historically grounded urban setting near Dubsdread Golf Course and Lake Ivanhoe.
Plant Street in historic downtown Winter Garden has established breweries, independent restaurants, and the Saturday Farmers Market — a genuine community food culture in a brick-paved setting on the West Orange Trail.
Communities west of Orlando — Groveland, Clermont, and the South Lake corridor — have developed their own dining scenes catering to the growing Horizon West-adjacent population. Options continue expanding as these areas grow.
