Overview
- Visit Orlando announced the full 2026 Magical Dining lineup on July 14, 2026, and the event will run Aug. 14 through Sept. 30.
- This year’s program features a record 188 participating restaurants and 38 new additions, including Bar Helios and Flora Taverna at Universal Helios Grand Hotel.
- Organizers say 61 Michelin-recognized restaurants are included and, for the first time, a Michelin-starred venue will offer a $60 prix-fixe menu.
- Each restaurant will offer three-course menus priced at $40 or $60 with $1 from every $40 menu and $2 from every $60 menu donated to the primary beneficiary Opportunity Community and Ability, and Visit Orlando will also award $3,000 to one nonprofit in each of Orange County’s six commission districts.
- Since adding its charity component in 2009, Magical Dining has raised about $3.3 million for local nonprofits and Visit Orlando expects the larger roster to boost restaurant traffic, broaden the city’s culinary profile, and drive more funds to community groups.
