Whenever someone asks me for a fun or unique place to dine in Orlando, Café Tu Tu Tango always comes to mind. As a Central Florida resident since 1995, I’ve been recommending this restaurant for literally half my life!
While Orlando’s restaurant scene has massively expanded since Café Tu Tu Tango first opened its doors more than 30 years ago, there’s still no place in town quite like it. The first thing you’ll notice is all the eclectic art on the walls. Everything you see is for sale. On any given night, you may observe a painting in progress, a belly dancer performing, or a fortune teller reading tarot cards for guests.
Now is the perfect time to visit Café Tu Tu Tango, while Magical Dining is taking place. Normally, this is a chance to enjoy a three-course, prix-fixe dinner at popular Orlando restaurants for $37 per person.

Dine “underneath the lovely London sky” in the newly reimagined Cítricos at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, which pays homage to the whimsy and elegance of the film Mary Poppins Returns. We savored delectable cuisine in their stylish dining room which brought us into a fanciful garden scene that incorporated cues from the movie including: motifs of flowers, butterflies, bird cage ceiling fixtures, decorative lamps, chandeliers, and more.
The menu, crafted by Chef Andres Mendoza, formerly Chef de Cuisine of Norman’s at the Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes, featured Florida cuisine with a Mediterranean influence.
