Visit Orlando's Magical Dining is back for its 21st year, running August 14 through September 30, 2026, and this edition breaks records with 188 participating restaurants — up from previous years and including 38 newcomers and 16 MICHELIN Guide-recognized spots. Diners can choose from three-course, prix-fixe menus priced at either $40 or $60, plus tax and gratuity, at restaurants spanning the greater Orlando area.
First-timers to the program include ÔMO by Jônt, marking the event's debut Michelin-starred restaurant, along with two dining options inside Universal's new Helios Grand Hotel, a rooftop spot with fireworks views, a jazz club offering live entertainment, and a private pickleball club restaurant opening its doors exclusively to Magical Dining participants for the duration of the event.
Each meal carries a charitable component: $1 from every $40 dinner and $2 from every $60 dinner goes to a designated local nonprofit. The 2026 primary beneficiary is OCA (Opportunity, Community, Ability), an organization supporting individuals with autism and developmental differences and their families. Since the charity component launched in 2009, the program has raised nearly $3.3 million for Central Florida nonprofits.
Orlando Health returns as presenting sponsor for a third consecutive year, and the companion Magical Nights program offers hotel deals at properties including Evermore Orlando Resort, Grande Lakes Orlando, and Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, making it easy to pair a special dinner with a full overnight getaway. Menus and hotel offers are already live at OrlandoMagicalDining.com.
This announcement was made by Visit Orlando, the official tourism association for the destination.
