In 2025, Orlando was awarded its first 2 Star Michelin recipient, and four new One MICHELIN Star restaurants. This year, Michelin added no new stars to the Orlando/Central Florida area, but chose seven to add to GeneralRecommendations, and downgraded two restaurants formerly picked.

Sorekara maintains its two-star recognition (one of only two in the entire state), along with five one-starred, 14 Bib Gourmand and 41 Recommended venues.

Camille, Kadence, Ômo by Jônt, Soseki and Victoria & Albert’s retain their one-star distinctions.

Losing their stars were Capa at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World and Papa Llama, but both remain on the Recommended Restaurants list.

Added to that Recommended Restaurants list for 2026 are:

  • 1921 — Mount Dora
  • June — Downtown Orlando
  • Kappo Tsan — Southwest Orlando
  • Osteria Ester — Thornton Park
  • Nineteen61 — Lakeland
  • Smoke & Donuts BBQ — The Milk District
  • Sparrow Wine Bar & Lounge — Downtown Orlando

The Guide alao awarded the MICHELIN Sommelier Award to Juan Valencia of Ômo by Jônt.

“Orlando’s continued presence in the MICHELIN Guide over the past few years speaks to the evolution of our dining scene and the depth, creativity and diversity found within our culinary community,” said Casandra Matej, president and CEO, Visit Orlando. “As dining increasingly influences where travelers choose to visit, this recognition further strengthens Orlando’s position as a destination where world-class cuisine is central to the visitor experience.
