Other new additions include Bib Gourmands Smokemade Meats + Eats, Bánh Mì Boy, Coro, and UniGirl, and the Recommended Nami, Bar Kada, Gyukatsu Rose, Kai Kai and Walala Hand-Pulled Noodle House.

MICHELIN’s recognition of 59 Orlando restaurants, including nine starred venues, 15 Bib Gourmands and 35 Recommended, plus additional MICHELIN honors, is further proof of Orlando’s exceptional culinary community. Discover which eateries have earned these coveted marks of distinction, then make reservations for your group to experience them the next time you meet in Orlando.

MICHELIN Stars
Per Gwendal Poullennec, international director of the MICHELIN Guides, inspectors found that Orlando had very much to offer food and wine enthusiasts, with talented chefs and their committed teams creating culinary experiences matched only by the destination’s amazing attractions. With inspector notes for each, Orlando’s MICHELIN Stars include the following restaurants.

Two MICHELIN Stars: Sorekara — Baldwin Park (NEW FOR ’25)

MICHELIN Inspector Notes: “In a world of uniformity, Sorekara proudly forges its own path. This Baldwin Park restaurant is unlike anywhere else you’ve been, offering a surprising and delightful culinary journey that revels in turning expectations on their head.”

One-MICHELIN-Star Restaurants
Capa Steakhouse & Bar — Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort

MICHELIN Inspector Notes: “At the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World; this steakhouse also flaunts a decidedly Spanish accent.

Kick things off with ace tapas before indulging in a main dish, like flame-kissed ribeye with tamarind-ancho sauce.”

“I’m so glad Florida’s top restaurants and talented chefs are finally receiving their due recognition by MICHELIN Guide,” said Dana Berry, PR Director for Four Seasons Resort Orlando. “Orlando has so many amazingly talented chefs and incredible dining options, it’s great that the book is raising the level of awareness of Orlando as a culinary hot spot. Our chefs at Four Seasons Orlando are thrilled to receive a MICHELIN Star rating for Capa.”

NEW FOR ’25: ÔMO by Jônt — Winter Park

MICHELIN Inspector Notes: “Chef Ryan Ratino’s lauded D.C. restaurant, Jônt, is more than just the inspiration for this offshoot. This Winter Park restaurant echoes that spirit and sensibility (think classic French techniques married with pristine Japanese ingredients), albeit with a few Florida touches.”

Papa Llama — Curry Ford West

MICHELIN Inspector Notes: “Husband-and-wife duo Kevin and Maria Ruiz prepare modern Peruvian cuisine full of bright ingredients with a bit of polish, and the multicourse tasting menu is an approachable (and affordable) way to sample their sincere cooking.” Prior to 2024, Papa Llama was recognized as a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand.

Soseki Modern Omakase — Winter Park

MICHELIN Inspector Notes: “This tiny operation with Chef Mike Collantes at the helm is an ideal illustration of a contemporary meal expressed by way of an omakase. A laser-like focus on local Florida produce results in a menu that changes monthly.”

In 2023, Soseki was further honored with a MICHELIN Sommelier Award for Beverage Director Benjamin Coutts.

Camille — Baldwin Park

MICHELIN Inspector Notes: “Chef Tung Phan has taken the pop-up and given it permanence at this space just off Lake Baldwin. Seats at the counter feature the 10-course Vietnamese-French tasting menu, while booths offer an abbreviated version. Rooted in French techniques, Vietnamese flavors are given a refined twist here.”

Kadence — Audubon Park Garden District

MICHELIN Inspector Notes: “The omakase opens with hot dishes and cool sashimi. This is food that’s free-spirited, yet manages to honor the classic methods. Pacing is on point in sashimi like hamachi and hirame. Nigiri, like snapper with lemon and sea salt, will have you yearning for more.”

Natsu — North Quarter District

MICHELIN Inspector Notes: “At Natsu, there are just two seatings a night at this intimate omakase where a 10-seat counter dominates a spartan-styled room. … The sushi is impressive and doesn’t gild the lily, as in skin-on barracuda with a dynamic char or soy-marinated salmon that finishes ever-so-sweetly.”

Victoria & Albert’s — Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

MICHELIN Inspector Notes: “Nestled within Disney’s crown jewel, the Grand Floridian Resort, this restaurant is by no means an easy reservation. The setting is intimate, and the pacing is that of a leisurely, three-hour waltz orchestrated by a gracious brigade of veteran servers.”

Victoria & Albert’s Maître d’Hôtel and Sommelier Israel Perez also earned a MICHELIN Service Award in 2024. The restaurant was previously ranked as MICHELIN Recommended.

“It’s about time MICHELIN has come to Florida,” said Melissa Kelly regarding Primo’s inclusion. “It’s very exciting. Orlando has blown up in the last 18 years. It’s not just chains. It’s an international city.”
