means good bargains at some good restaurants
September is Orlando Magical Dining Month — yes, all month long.
During OMDM you can visit a lot of restaurants you may have been wanting to try and not have to spend a lot of money.
Here’s how it works: Go to the Orlando Magical Dining Month site and view the list of restaurants. Click on one that interests you to see the menu they’re offering. That’s the catch, you can order only from a special menu.
Here’s the other catch: most restaurants don’t offer this menu voluntarily. So, when the host is seating you, you have to wink twice and say, “Pssst, I wanna see the Magical menu.” Please make certain you’re in one of the participating restaurants or the host might find your request odd, and, possibly, illegal.
There are two types of offerings, upscale ($29) and casual ($19). Both offer prix fixe menus of three courses.
This is a great way to try some of the pricier restaurants, like A Land Remembered and Cala Bella at Rosen’s Shingle Creek; The Boheme at the Grand Bohemian; Oceanaire; Roy’s; Park Plaza Gardens; and Emeril’s Orlando. Most of those feature entrees that cost more than the prix fixe.
