BOMBAY STREET KITCHEN PHOTO VIA VISIT ORLANDO
The MICHELIN Guide Florida revealed its 2026 selection today, and Orlando continues to hold its ground as one of the state’s top dining destinations with more than 60 restaurants recognized across all categories.
Sorekara (Website), the fancy restaurant in Baldwin Park that never lets anyone take any photos, has kept its two-star status, making it one of only two two-starred restaurants in the entire state of Florida. Five restaurants hold one star: Camille (Website) and Kadence (Website), ÔMO by Jônt (Website), Soseki Modern Omakase (Website), and Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian. Juan Valencia of ÔMO by Jônt also took home the MICHELIN Sommelier Award.
Kaya in Mills 50 holds its Green Star for the third consecutive year, recognizing its leadership in sustainable gastronomy.
The Bib Gourmand list, which highlights “great food at great value,” has 14 Orlando entries: The Ravenous Pig, Smokemade Meats + Eats, Bánh Mì Boy, Bombay Street Kitchen, Coro, Domu, Isan Zaap, Norigami, Otto’s High Dive, The Strand, Sushi Saint, Taste of Chengdu, UniGirl, and Zaru.
Six restaurants are new to the Recommended list this year: 1921 in Mount Dora, June in Downtown Orlando, Kappo Tsan in Southwest Orlando, Osteria Ester in Thornton Park, Smoke & Donuts BBQ in The Milk District, and Sparrow Wine Bar & Lounge in Downtown Orlando.
The full list, including inspector notes and an interactive dining map, is at the Visit Orlando MICHELIN Guide blog.
Visit Orlando paid Michelin $800,100 to publish guides for 2022, 2023, and 2024, with an option to publish guides for 2025 and 2026 for an additional $533,400. Visit Florida kicked in another $150,000. The guide is a paid partnership, not an unsolicited endorsement.
