Orlando’s beloved Magical Dining event returns for its 19th season from August 16 to September 30, featuring a record 150 restaurants, including new additions and MICHELIN Guide recognized establishments. Among the participants are three prominent Horizon West restaurants!

Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ – Flamingo Crossings • Bella Tuscany Italian Restaurant • Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine – Winter Garden

Presented by Orlando Health, the program offers diners three-course prix-fixe menus priced at $40 or $60, continuing the popular tiered pricing system.

The revamped OrlandoMagicalDining.com simplifies reservations and accommodates various dietary preferences with options for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meals. The site also features curated arts and cultural events by United Arts of Central Florida and deals on overnight stays.

Casandra Matej, president and CEO of Visit Orlando, emphasized the event’s impact, stating, “Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining spotlights our vibrant culinary scene, offering great meals at better prices while supporting local charities.” This year, proceeds from meals will benefit The Mustard Seed of Central Florida, focusing on community sustainability through innovative recycling programs.

Orlando Health’s role as presenting sponsor reflects a commitment to community wellness, enhancing Visit Orlando’s mission. Erick Hawkins, chief administrative officer at Orlando Health, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, underscoring its alignment with their community-focused initiatives.

A portion of each meal’s proceeds will support The Mustard Seed’s efforts to provide essential household items and promote environmental sustainability. Executive Director Kathy Baldwin expressed gratitude, noting, “These funds will help us provide stability for more clients in need.”

Visit Orlando will also donate $3,000 to a local nonprofit in each of Orange County’s six commission districts, recognizing initiatives that foster thriving and sustainable communities.

Since its inception in 2009, Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining has raised over $2.5 million for local causes, including charities supporting survivors of abuse and initiatives combating human trafficking.
