The 6 best restaurants in Orlando, according to our readers

We asked our readers to tell us their favorite Orlando restaurants. Here’s what they said.

When we asked our readers to vote for their favorite local restaurants as part of the Orlando Food Guide, we included an option for write-in votes. And they took advantage of it! While we had clear winners for categories like Best Ice Cream and Best Pizza, when it came time to tally up the votes for Best Overall Restaurant, we struggled to narrow down the list.
