Bite30 is Orlando Weekly’s monthlong, citywide celebration of our city’s amazing culinary scene. For 30 days (June 1-30), restaurants around Orlando offer prix fixe menus, often for the price of a regular-menu entree. Menus for both lunch and dinner – at least two courses for lunch, and at least three courses for dinner – range from $10-$30. This is the chefs’ chance to show off, and these pictures are the proof that they’re doing just that. 

We are just over halfway through Bite30, and if you haven’t taken advantage of these spectacular menus yet, this gallery should encourage you to run, not walk, to your nearest Bite30 restaurant. And don’t forget to buy tickets for Bite30’s grand finale, Bite Night, where you’ll find the crème de la crème of the Orlando dining scene Monday, June 30.
