Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining experience returns next month with a record 150 restaurants for Central Florida foodies to get a taste of.

Magical Dining is an annual celebration through which anyone can try a variety of local restaurants with a three course, prix-fixe meal for either $40 or $60 a person, plus tax and gratuity.

Returning for its 19th year from Aug. 16 to Sept. 30, the event will offer a record-breaking 150 Orlando-area restaurants, including 25 first-time locations and nine Michelin-approved spots.

This year, Magical Dining will benefit donation center The Mustard Seed of Central Florida. With every $40 meal, one dollar will be donated, and with every $60 meal, 2 dollars will be donated to the organization. The Mustard Seed of Central Florida aims to help those in need by providing furniture and clothing while being environmentally friendly and community-oriented.

Along with Magical Dining, Magical Nights is also happening now, offering deals on select Orlando area hotels and resorts.
