Orlando's dining scene gets a lot of love, and once a year Orlando Weekly asks its readers to settle the debate: who really does it best, block by block? The results of the Best of Orlando 2026 readers' poll are in, covering more than two dozen neighborhoods, suburbs, and communities across the greater Orlando area.
A few names turned up as perennial crowd-pleasers. DOMU claimed the top spot in both the Audubon Park/Baldwin Park category and landed second place in the Sand Lake/Dr. Phillips neighborhood, while Seito Sushi earned third place in both of those same areas. Viet-Nomz showed similar cross-town appeal, winning in Lake Mary and placing third in East Orlando.
Some categories went to beloved local institutions. Hollerbach's German Restaurant took the Sanford crown, Enzo's on the Lake led Longwood, and The Ravenous Pig topped Winter Park — all restaurants with long track records in their communities. On the newer side of things, Nona Blue Modern Tavern won the Lake Nona category, reflecting that fast-growing area's expanding food scene.
Other neighborhood winners include Maxine's on Shine for Downtown Orlando, Pig Floyd's Urban BBQ for Mills 50/Colonialtown, Santiago's Bodega for Ivanhoe Village, Café Tu Tu Tango along International Drive, Pizza Bruno in SoDo/Curry Ford, and Hangry Bison in Winter Garden, among many others.
The full neighborhood-by-neighborhood results, including second and third place finishers in every category, were published by Orlando Weekly as part of their annual Best of Orlando 2026 issue.
