The Top 12 Places to Eat and Drink in Winter Park
-
Rank 1. Soseki
Omakase Sushi
Chef Mike Collantes stages an intimate ten-seat omakase where traditional sushi meets Florida ingredients, the counter glowing like a theater beneath dark walls and sleek wood. Each course—from scallop with caviar to corn chawanmushi to foie gras flan—arrives scored and garnished with the precision of someone who believes technique is generosity.

Rank 2. Ômo by Jônt
Japanese-inflected French
Ryan Ratino's Winter Park outpost marries classical French rigor with pristine Japanese ingredients, letting the seasons dictate each refined plate. Chawanmushi arrives with braised sweet potato and brown butter; a two-part scallop course and chocolate kakigori showcase kitchen precision with quiet confidence.

Rank 3. Prato
Italian-American Pizza
A tree-lined storefront opens onto a cavernous room of exposed brick and Edison bulbs, where Chef Brandon McGlamery's kitchen excels at wood-fired Italian-American cooking. Crispy pumpkin arancini arrive enriched with celery root and apple mostardo; rotating pies layer crab béchamel with potatoes and artichoke-pepper conserva. The formula is straightforward and durable.

Rank 4. AVA Mediterraegean
Mediterranean Greek
At the heart of Winter Park sits a sleek Mediterranean room built for sharing—mezze and raw preparations set the tone, but the kitchen's real statement comes via crispy eggplant and zucchini in delicate stacked layers, seafood mains, and a baklava that remixes phyllo and spiced nuts with pistachios and orange blossom ice cream into something that feels simultaneously classical and new.
-
Rank 4. The Ravenous Pig
Modern Southern
A moody gastropub beside its own brewery, all charcoal walls and exposed ductwork, where Chef Clay Miller reworks pub classics through a Southern lens: pork burnt ends over cornbread pudding, pastrami brisket with pickled cabbage purée. The cooking is precise but unstuffy, treating familiar forms as a foundation for genuine invention.
-
Rank 6. Chuan Fu
Sichuan Chinese
A sleek dining room in Winter Park where Sichuan cooking arrives with restraint and warmth—the cucumber salad snaps with soy and garlic, the Chongqing chicken glows with chili and peanut, and a white fish in savory broth layered with pickled cabbage and glass noodles shows real discipline in how heat and spice are balanced. The service matches the food's generosity.
-
Rank 6. Kai Asian Street Fare
Noodles
In a Winter Park shopping center, Thai and Vietnamese cooking merge at a modest counter where noodles arrive smoking from the wok. The tonkotsu shio ramen—pork broth deep from hours of simmering, noodles slender and yielding, a shoyu egg—shares the brief menu with stir-fried noodles and spicy Korean-style wings, each dish tasting like it matters.
