The gastronomy is in harmony with the whole of Orlando due to its huge range of restaurants: The city has more than 4000 restaurants and pretty much every well-known cuisine on earth is represented here. There are breakfast buffets, all-day dining restaurants, steak houses, and 5-star restaurants for foodies.
Each theme park has several outstanding full-service restaurants, while areas such as Disney’s center, Universal’s CityWalk and International Drive have a high concentration of dining outlets, including well-known chains such as Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Café and Outback Steakhouse, a unique newcomer to the market like Joachim Slichal’s Tutto Italie Ristorante in Epcot. The selection for vegetarians is not very large, but there are a few exceptions, such as the Sweet Tomatoes and the Café Tu-Tu Tango.
The following restaurants are divided into three categories.
Expensive (over $ 45)
Moderate ( $ 15 to $ 45)
Inexpensive (up to $ 15)
It is the average price for a three-course menu per person with sales tax, but without tip (unless otherwise stated).

Victoria & Albert’s
High quality cloths from Frette, glassware from Riedel, all the registers are drawn in this restaurant. With only 18 tables in the main dining room, another five tables in the private fireplace room and a chef’s table in the kitchen, the atmosphere is more intimate than in many other Disney Resort restaurants. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a luxury hotel from the old days, but the culinary visions of chef Scott Hunnel are all in the 21st century.
