Lake Nona has evolved from a quiet master-planned community into one of Orlando's most exciting dining destinations. Here are our top picks for 2024.
Fine Dining
Canvas Restaurant & Market remains the crown jewel of Lake Nona dining. Perched on the shores of Lake Nona with panoramic water views, Canvas delivers farm-to-table Florida cuisine with an emphasis on fresh Gulf seafood and locally sourced produce. Reservations are strongly recommended on weekends.
Casual & Social
Boxi Park is the community's beloved outdoor gathering spot. Rotating food trucks, craft beer, live music, and a dog-friendly atmosphere make it the go-to for a relaxed evening out. The string lights and communal seating create a festive vibe year-round.
Quick Bites
The Lake Nona Town Center area has a solid lineup of quick-service options for busy weekdays. Chick-fil-A, Panera, and several local cafes keep the community fueled.
