Official VISIT FLORIDA Travel Guide 2008 - (Page 22) Authentic Orlando Neon-lit retro diners, gourmet fusion restaurants, vegetarian food to go – whatever tickles your taste buds, central Florida has a dazzling array of dining options. As you might expect, Orlando serves up some novel eating environments from the jungle-themed Rainforest Café to Race Rock, a culinary tribute to motor sport. More refined tastes are equally well catered for with eminent chefs increasingly choosing central Florida to showcase their cooking. For all the dining diversity, Florida’s own cuisine easily holds its own. The seafood is among the best you’ll find anywhere, and good old-fashioned cooking – think grits and southern-style ‘biscuits and gravy’ – offers a taste of days gone by as well as a hearty meal. Race Rock Restaurant Must-Sees ORLANDO AREA Walt Disney World 1 Resort and Universal Orlando Resort continue to push the theme park boundaries and next year sees the arrival of another guaranteed crowd-pleaser at Universal: a ride based on The Simpsons TV series. Orlando’s wildlifebased theme parks, including SeaWorld, Discovery Cove, Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Gatorland, are ever popular and 2008 promises more marine fun when SeaWorld launches new water park Aquatica. WINTER PARK This well-heeled Orlando suburb provides a serene alternative to the theme park fun. Park Avenue teems with cafés, boutiques, galleries and exhibitions including the Morse Museum, home to one of the world’s foremost Tiffany collections. A boat ride on the nearby lakes and canals offers a glimpse at some of Orlando’s most expensive properties while a weekly farmers market sells the best of the region’s organic produce. 2 22 VISITFLORIDA.com/uk http://VISITFLORIDA.com/uk
