Orlando Car Rental and Orlando Dining

Orlando is a cosmopolitan city with many dining options when you visit with your Orlando car rental. Whether you are here with kids or adults, there are many dining options throughout the city.

Kids eat free

If you are traveling with kids in your Orlando car rental, then you will probably spend a lot of money at the theme parks and attractions in the city. Why not save some money when you go out to eat? There are a number of local restaurants that offer special “Kids Eat Free” deals to keep your costs low. At Andiamo Italian Bistro & Grill, kids 12 and under eat free from the kids menu Thursday through Sunday when you buy an adult entrée. Or visit Beef O’Brady’s on Tuesday between 4-8 for free kids meals with each regular paying adult. On Tuesday, kids eat free at Lone Star Steak House during regular business hours and on Saturday you can have two kid’s entrees for each adult entrée purchased. There are a number of restaurants with deals like this. Be sure to check out the days and ages that they offer this for in order to save the most money.

Get into character

Orlando is a place of fantasy, and dining is no exception! When you visit with your Orlando car rental you can experience character dining. Some of the options are so popular, that you need to plan ahead and reserve as soon as you know you will be going to Orlando with your car rental. There are meals fit for a princess (Cinderella and others at Disney’s Magic Kingdom and Epcot), meals with the world’s most famous mouse and his friends, meals with a star (Ohana Best Friends, JoJo’s Circus, Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob SquarePants, Scooby Doo, Shrek & Fiona, etc), or even your favorite literary characters (Winnie the Pooh, Mary Poppins, Mad Hatter, The Cat in the Hat, and Spider-Man).

Get out of this world

There are also a couple out-of-this-world dining experiences that you can experience with your Orlando car rental. Dinner with Shamu at SeaWorld or Lunch with an Astronaut at the Kennedy Space Center are two very exciting opportunities you wont find anywhere else with your Orlando car rental. When booking these special dinners, be sure to call ahead and make reservations. You will want to go on the same day that you visit the park, because the cost of dinner does not include the price of admission to the park.

Go global in Orlando

Southern favorites are always a good choice when visiting with your Orlando car rental, but there are also a number of exotic restaurants you can choose from. There are exotic African-themed restaurants in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Boma-Flavors of Africa is a market-style buffet with some interesting and delicious combinations. Locals recommend Chinese at PF Chang’s, Winnie’s Oriental Garden, or Ming Court. Other Asian favorites include Amura Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar, Thai House, Little Saigon, and Memories of India. For the best Greek food, head to Athena’s Greek Café in Altamonte Springs or Olympia downtown. For Italian, Antonio’s La Fiamma and Enzo’s are highly recommended to visit with your Orlando car rental. Of course, there is a strong Latin community in the area, so you are sure to find spicy restaurants. Numero Uno on South Orange Avenue is number one among locals.
