The Top 9 Restaurants in Winter Park
-
Rank 1. 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 2. 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 2. 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 4. 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 4. 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.
