Valentine’s Day is almost here, which brings us to the first installment of “Villakey Picks”, where we’ll be sharing some of our favorite hot spots, restaurants, and activities in Orlando every month! Whether you’ll be joining us on February 14th or planning a date night during your Walt Disney World vacation, here are some of our favorite romantic restaurants in Orlando:
01. Le Cellier Steakhouse
Location: Epcot’s Canada Pavilion
1510 N Avenue, Orlando, FL 32830
You’ll find one of our favorite romantic restaurants in Orlando nestled toward the back of Epcot’s Canada Pavilion, Le Cellier Steakhouse. The cozy atmosphere instantly transports you to a themed wine cellar of a Canadian château. Featuring mouth-watering steak and seafood options, you won’t be disappointed here. Don’t miss their famous Canadian cheddar cheese soup with Moosehead Pale Ale and Nueske’s Applewood-smoked Bacon. It’s out of this world.
*Park tickets required. See more below.
02. Cinderella’s Royal Table
Location: Walt Disney World, Magic Kingdom
1365 W Monorail Way, Orlando, FL 32836
Fairytale dining can be found at Cinderella’s castle within the Magic Kingdom! While character dining is not currently available, there’s a fun-filled date night option waiting for you here. The dining room looks like it was taken out of a storybook with beautiful stone archways, soaring ceilings, and breathtaking stained-glass windows overlooking Fantasyland. For the Disney enthusiast, we highly recommend Cinderella’s Royal Table for a romantic dinner! Since this is a very popular dining option at Walt Disney World, reservations in advance are a must.

03. The Edison Restaurant & Bar
Location: Disney Springs
1570 E. Buena Vista Dr, Lake Buena Vista, Florida 32830
For couples looking for a fun night out with unique nightlife, this is a great dining option without needing to have a park ticket. Enjoy classic American food, a full bar, and decadent desserts – like their Triple Chocolate Voltage Cake! Gatsby-inspired performances take place every night of the week, which is perfect for a romantic dinner with live entertainment afterward. Just make your dinner reservations later in the evening and hang around after 10pm for when The Edison turns into a nightclub for those 21 and over.
04. Ocean Prime
Location: Orlando’s Restaurant Row, Close to Universal
7339 W Sand Lake Rd #400, Orlando, FL 32819
If an upscale dinner with a sophisticated atmosphere sounds more up your alley for a romantic dinner with your special someone, we recommend checking out Ocean Prime. The ambiance is cozy and the handful of amazing booths inside The Lounge create a very intimate space for dining. You’ll find a classic seafood and steak menu along with a massive selection of wine (that has been honored by Wine Spectator). And, don’t miss the live music that starts at 6pm every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
05. The Melting Pot
Location: Orlando’s Restaurant Row, Close to Universal
7549 W Sand Lake Rd, Orlando, FL 32819
Another one of our favorite romantic restaurants in Orlando located on Restaurant Row, The Melting Pot makes for an incredible and intimate evening out! Start with a cheese fondue served with artisan bread and seasonal fruits and veggies. Then, move over to the wide-range of fondue choices for your main course including the option to create your own pairings. The chocolate fondue is definitely not to miss for dessert! A deep selection of wines and cocktails make this restaurant one of our favorite places for a date night.
* Please note, if you’re interested in dining at Le Cellier Steakhouse, Cinderella’s Royal Table, or any of the restaurants within the Walt Disney World Parks, you must have a valid park ticket. The only exception is dining is allowed at The Rainforest Cafe at Animal Kingdom without a park ticket. Speaking of tickets, we’re an authorized Walt Disney World Ticket Reseller!
