There are so many places to eat in the Orlando area that you could almost spend a whole lifetime trying them all out. There are places to suit all budgets and tastes from basic fast food to fine dining restaurants. So even the fussiest of palates is catered for!

In this article we shall start off towards the lower end of the scale and work our way up.

So lets look firstly at the fast food joints, the usual suspects are to be found and below are the main ones, which are in abundance and lets face it you can fill your face for less that $15 in most of them.

And the finest dining in Orlando area is possibly to be found at

Not wishing to leave any one cuisine out as there are also hundreds, no thousands of privately owned Ethnic restaurants many Chinese, Thai and Indian as well as Mexican, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Cuban, British, Irish and every other country on the map almost. It is a fantastic and diverse place to dine and Nirvana almost for the fellow foodies amongst you!

…………….And don’t forget in the restaurants you are expected to leave between 15 and 20% tip, parties of 8 or more, sometimes even 6, the gratuity is usually added to the bill. Always check and don’t end up paying the gratuity twice! The basic fast food chains like Burger King, no tip is required.
