Antonella’s Pizzeria
360 W Fairbanks Ave, Winter Park, (407) 636-5333
“After a day of travelling my wife and I just wanted to grab something with no hassle so we bumped into Antonella’s. The woman who helped us out was so friendly and kind and made some great recommendations for us since we were new in town. We got a pizza and some garlic knots and got to meet the family who owns the place. I wish more places were as friendly and fun as this one. And the pizza and garlic knots were very delicious.” – Jake A. via Yelp

“Excellent place for Korean Food. The food here is flavorful and delicious. The meats are seasoned to perfection. The soups here are amazing. The main dish comes with plenty of sides. I love being able to crack my own egg into my soup. The service was incredible. You can pretty much order anything here and not be disappointed. Yummy all the way around.” – Crystal R. via Yelp

4100 N Alafaya Trl, (407) 318-9127
“Blaze is a great pizza. By far the best part is the fact you can select unlimited toppings for no extra charge! I choose multiple cheeses, meats and veggies and it always turns out great. The staff is sweet, the restaurant is always nice and clean. Overall it’s a great option for lunch or dinner!” – Krysten L. via Yelp

5695-A Vineland Rd, (321) 430-2667
“Excellent Mexican food with an authentic taste. Place is not much to look at, but what it lacks in ambiance it makes up in taste and quality. You should try the really good hot sauces they provide with their meals. Service is quick and efficient. Close to a whole host of hotels near Universal theme parks, so it is an easy meal after a long day. Open from 11:00 AM to midnight.” – Pradeep S. via Yelp

“This may be my favorite coffee shop in downtown Orlando. Beautiful, charming, modern and vibrant. Wifi-powered with lots of sunlight and greenery, making it a great place to wake yourself up, grab a bite with a friend, do some work, and/or all of the above. I was feeling rosy when I went and got the Wild child latte (rose flavored) and the rose water chocolate cake by Valhalla bakery. I got my good share of rose flavor without being overwhelmed. It was fragrant and awakening. The latte was creamy and warming. The cake was a decadent treat.” – Geraldine U. via Yelp

249 W State Rd 436, Altamonte Springs, (321) 972-8999
“First time at The Crepevine and I was sold! I love a good, savory crepe and the “Machine” did not disappoint. Filled with chicken, roast beef, turkey, bacon, pepper jack cheese, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, cajun remoulade and I added jalapenos. This mega crepe checked all the boxes and was the perfect lunch.” – Pauline W. via Yelp

618 N Thornton Ave, (407) 362-1864
“This place was unique and had a great vibe. I will definitely be back! The vegetarian & vegan-friendly menu has so many delicious options, it’s hard to decide. I went with the black bean burrito and my daughter ordered the Mediterranean salad. And the vegan queso is really impressive! Definitely try the kombucha (pineapple-ginger, if it’s on tap, is to die for!!!) and if you’re a tea lover of any kind, there is something here for you.
Everything is locally sourced (you’ll see greens and herbs in their garden and planters), organic, and delish. Go there now.” – Leslie F. via Yelp

“This is the best vegan restaurant I have ever tried and I wish there was a Miami location. I’m by no means a vegan but I do enjoy from time to time venturing out into this world to see if I could do it and this place gives you such a good push into that direction because of how flavorful and creative the food is. We had the chili dogs which tasted so exact to regular hotdogs that it is mind blowing. The Mac and cheese is the best I’ve ever had, my favorite thing off their menu for sure. The tacos were delicious and had so much flavor. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is willing to try, I promise you will not regret it. 10/10.” – Ashley M. via Yelp

6268 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy, Celebration, (321) 204-1445
“Omg. Biscuits biscuits BISCUITS. I had a delicious sausage egg and cheese and peanut butter banana toast. Oh I was full but happy. Hubs had the andouille biscuits and gravy, I forget the name but said it was like his grandmas. That is HIGH praise. You can pre order by phone, might be a good idea on busy days as you order at the counter. Seating tight on a Sunday. But definitely go well worth it.” – mpenni o. via Yelp

8015 Turkey Lake Rd, (407) 355-7768
“A solid panini shop! I enjoyed the Meat Lover’s Paradise with Chicken, Turkey, Beef, Turkey Bacon, Muenster Cheese, and a yummy Chipotle Ranch. It was a hearty sandwich paired perfectly with their crispy, spicy curly fries. The atmosphere is simple and CLEAN. I’d definitely come back here for the paninis and hospitality.” – Jessica M. via Yelp

“DELICIOUS! I’M GOING BACK DESPITE BEING FULL! I can eat it later! This is my kind of place. The food is perfect. It’s filling yet light. Fresh and diverse flavors. TBH, I was unsure of this middle eastern/Hispanic fusion hole in the wall but I couldn’t be more wrong. I got the rice bowl with lentils, grilled veggies (marinated eggplant and zucchini), and chicken, topped with tabouleh and some of the best tzatziki sauce. I always post pictures and it looked so good, I devoured my plate without a thought of taking a picture. The location is not the best. Not trendy. But the store itself is wonderful. Good atmosphere and a wonderful staff. Without a doubt I will be returning and I’m going to explore the menu a little more.” – Zachary J. via Yelp

710 N Mills Ave, (407) 237-0013
“Baotastic! This place is killing the food game. I can get some delicious baos and tater tots?! It’s my personal heaven. They have a set menu and then have seasonal baos, so the options are endless. 2 with tots will fill you up nicely, but if you’re glutenous and want to try more then I would recommend 3 and split tots. ” – Kevin N. via Yelp

“First I am not a vegan/vegetarian. I accompanied my significant other here on a lunch date while he was working in Orlando and I was totally blown away. The food had some major FLAVOR !! I order the fried green tomato sandwich with collard greens (with some type of seitan meat inside). The sandwich had a wonderful tahini sauce with beets and kale to accompany it. Every ingredient complimented each other and the textures were great. All the vegetables were extremely fresh as I see they grow most of the vegetables outside in the front. If ever in the Orlando area and want a great vegan/vegetarian option. This place is worth the try for some fresh flavor-packing food!” – Breoni M. via Yelp

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Came here for the first time. I got the Snow cluster and wing lunch special. It came with a side of potatoes and a drink. Wow. Everything was so flavorful. My wings were nice and crispy. The potatoes were soft. Loved everything about it. Not to mention, the staff is super friendly. I definitely recommend.” – Nellie C. via Yelp

“This place is a gem, the gyro meat was fresh and so flavorful! I got the gyro with the cucumber and tomato salad with a side of dolomades plus a drink for under $15 and it was a mountain of food that fed me into the next day. Authentic, fresh, and quality Greek food is something that’s hard to come by! Check this place out for a great take out meal!” – Miranda R. via Yelp

1200 Lee Rd, (407) 802-2323
“After all the amazing reviews. I had to try this hole in the wall off Lee Road in Winter Park. WOW is the only thing I can say after eating the Chicken Green Curry. Flavor paradise is where this dish took me. I ordered my lunch portion hot and it was a very big portion. I loved that it wasn’t watered down like so many other Curry dishes at Thai Restaurants around town. It came with a flavorful side salad that at the $8.95 price was a pleasant surprise. Thanks to Yelp for helping me find this hidden gem. The service was great and friendly. They offered me more sticky rice without having to ask. If you haven’t been here yet. RUN FAST for authentic Thai. My new favorite Thai Restaurant” – Keith B. via Yelp

“I am obsessed with this place. Y’all it’s off the beaten path but don’t let that fool you. This will take your palate on a journey it’s never been on before! Must must must try!!!!! Nonno/Stefano is truly passionate about his food but his customers are like his family. He takes pride in everything and loves to come out and make his dining area feel like a family kitchen. He walked in with fresh chicken to make stock for his risotto… just saying…… Every bite your taste buds dance and jump for joy.” – Katie P. via Yelp

40 Taylor St, Ocoee, (407) 614-2990
“AMAZING, simple, flavorful, Mexican food. If you live in the Ocoee area or close by this is definitely worth the drive to satisfy your Mexican food cravings. There is a huge poster menu with a variety of entrees that you can try at a very reasonable price ranging from $3++ that will guide you to what you want to order. This place is a bit on the smaller size with approximately 5 smaller tables and outdoor seating as well. We came around 2:00pm and it was not as packed. The food came out in within 10 minutes and everything smelled so delicious. Everything is made to order so with every bite you can tell it was made fresh. My favorite had to be the al pastor tacos, the quesadilla, and tostadas. Whenever I am back in the area, I will definitely come visit this gem again!” – Victoria N. via Yelp

“From beginning to end, you will not be disappointed. Lovely mom and pop eatery, where their passion is truly reflected in variety of dishes they offer. Our servers described everything with a lot of heart which made all the difference in the end. Artisan flavor without the pretentious attitude or pricing. All in all a 5 star experience at half the price.” – Ali M. via Yelp

“What a plethora of different awesome tastes! This place is the real deal when it comes to taste and quality! It’s counter service with picnic tables and umbrellas in beautiful Hannibal Square. We had their two best sellers – the Chicago Big Daddy and the Choripan, Chicago style dog with a poppy seed bun and a chorizo sausage with chimichurri on a nice crusty roll. Super delicious! We finished off with the Hawaii 50 açaí bowl. Fresh fruits topped off a nice blended açaí that wasn’t too sweet. Very good and refreshing! Will return.” – Kalvin K. via Yelp

“I used to go to Se7en Bites when I lived Downtown. This was my first visit in quite a while and it was just as amazing as I remember. I had their cold brew coffee, and it was good enough to have with no milk or sugar added. I had the 7th trimester and it was a gluttonous plate of instant guilt. It was delicious, and very filling. My husband had the tuna salad sandwich and we probably could’ve shared it, it was so big. Their bakery is amazing and I’m so glad that they expanded and have so much more room to sit and enjoy!” – Vic M. via Yelp

“Fantastic barbecue sandwiches and wraps here. They put together their meats with some very creative additions and make deliciousness. It’s not a super fancy spot – just a converted house and partially paved parking lot – but you’re not here for fancy. It’s funky and eclectic and cool. We ordered at the register and took seats upstairs. It wasn’t long until my name was called and my sandwich was ready. I chose the “Fire Pig” which has a base of pulled pork and then they add gouda cheese and coleslaw and Sriracha in a chipotle pepper wrap. I expected more “fire” but this was mild and flavorful. And huge. It’s hard to spend more than $15 here. Just about every wrap or sandwich is $10.95. Plus some interesting beers. And a cooler with delicious treats. Yum!” – Bruce K. via Yelp

4439 Edgewater Dr, (407) 988-3330
“My wife and I fell in love with Turkish food during our two year Air Force assignment in Ankara long ago. Since then, we have always been on the lookout for good, authentic Turkish Cuisine, but it is hard to come by in the US. A large city may have a passable establishment, but, somehow, Orlando has several excellent Turkish places. Zeytin (meaning olive) is our latest discovery, and it may be the best.We have been twice now, and the meats, chai, and meze (appetizers) are the closest to Turkey we have had in the States. The Iskender Kebab (our favourite dish at select restaurants in Turkey) is excellent though not identical to what we remember. They have an excellent mixed grill and appetizer sampler if you want to try a variety of items. They also have lavash – an inflated bread I never saw in Turkey but is a hallmark of every Turkish restaurant in Orlando. Give it a try, and you will be glad you did.” – Alan E. via Yelp
