50 Best Wine Bars in Orlando

“Papa Llama, 2840 Curry Ford Road, Orlando- 4-Stars Michelin Recommended- Bib Gourmand! Peruvian immigrants, Kevin and Maria Ruiz, say they founded Papa Llama in 2016 as an experimental pop up and opened the doors of this location in August 2020. In 2022, they earned the Michelin Guide's coveted "Bib Gourmand" award for establishments that serve good food at reasonable prices so naturally, I got excited. Paulina, my server, was well prepared and knowledgeable, making for an auspicious beginning in a gorgeous environment featuring good prices for dishes that could be made to satisfy both carnivores and herbivores alike. I ordered the entire family style menu which was, according to Papa Llama, "designed to be tasted together, shared, and fought over." So much food for just over a hundred dollars. The prices may have been cheap but the taste and quality of (most) victuals valieron un Perú! A hearty Big Boy Thank You (Sulpayki!) to Kevin and Maria and the culinary dactylograms of their ancestors, on this amazing cuisine (Somaq Mihuna!). The first item on the menu was Olives--whole green Castelvetrano olives marinated in house with aji panca--which were so delectable I could eat them all day. Next, the Red + Gold Beets, a minty beet salad with honey ají amarillo vinaigrette, queso fresco, and candied pistachio, which started out smooth and creamy and ended with a pleasantly piquant bite. Papas a la Huancaína followed, a fingerling potato dish with spicy aji amarillo cream, wakatay (black mint) salsa verde, and beef chicharron, topped with a fried egg. The potatoes themselves were not the star, but the combination of flavors in the sauce were amazing, unctuous but smooth. Papa Llama carries a long list of natural wines, more wines than food items, actually. That evening, I chose the Yuzu Sake, and may I say, "Holy smokes!" How refreshing after consuming so many peppers. The rest of the dishes I would give 4.5 to 5-Stars, EXCEPT for the side of frozen Sysco French fries which almost ruined an otherwise stellar meal. There are over 300 kinds of potatoes in Peru. Over 300! Perhaps in the United States we don't have the same abundance as found in El Valle Sagrado (the Sacred Valley) but, por favor, do not stoop to this! The Big Boy says, "Eat here. All the authentic Peruvian flavors at Papa Llama are 5-Star, but skip the fries, which are a corporate conglomerate frozen food disappointment."“

“We came from visiting Disney Springs, wanted a really yummy Bloody Mary. Googled this place, drive was 28 minutes. The restaurant is in the middle of a neighborhood which is unique. Parking is on the street. We were even lucky to get two seats at the bar. The host told us 1.5 hour wait, it was Sunday about 11:30am. Being from out of town, that would have really sucked if we didn't get to sit and eat. The Bloody Mary was delicious. The crab cakes were the best I've had in a long time. Not super greasy, light and a bit of a crunch inside with the crab meat. Maybe onion, not sure. Loved the smoked salmon and avocado pita bites. The fried green tomatoes were alright. I didn't like the kale salad. The Chicken and palmento cheese sandwich was disappointing....the chicken was over cooked like the bacon, but we just added extra cheese to help eat it. I would come here again just for the drinks, and try something else if we are in Orlando again. Both bar tenders were very friendly and helpful. I would make reservations if you plan on coming.“

“excellent service!!!! very good food“

“The Chefs Dinner menu in December was exquisite!“

“The food was great! Lately it seems that the only place to get a good filet mignon cooked appropriately. The way you ask the first time is it any restaurant that doesn't call it self steakhouse. 60 vines does not disappoint. Their shareable's are all amazing, especially the crushed potatoes. we didn't have it last night, but they also have an amazing hamburger. I believe it or not. The wine is great. The atmosphere is great and it's a very fun place for a table of two or a large group.“

“We had an awesome meal and the service was excellent! Very pleasant, quick and delicious!!!“

“First time trying this place out after passing by it multiple times and it was beyond my expectations. We went during happy hours and got two bottles of chardonnay and a shrooms pizza and some type of charcuterie board. Everything was delicious and the service was spectacular! 10 out of 10 experience.“

“Always love our visits to WBG. The wait staff was amazing, Kyle, our server, was knowledgeable and so personable, as were the other servers nearby. A total team effort and we loved it! George was there and he stopped by our table and chatted. Great guy that truly loves his restaurant and it really shows! We'll be back! Can't wait!!“

“The atmosphere was amazing! I enjoyed the flight Mimosa. I’m“

“Great magical dining. Dip, Lobster risotto and pavlova yummy. My aunt and cousin had two rounds of oysters are mentioned they were exquisite. So lucky to have them so close to Stoneybrook.“

“Wonderful food, as usual. The sea bass was outstanding! As was the beef bourguignon. The special Halloween cheese board was a real treat!! Dining upstairs on the terrace is just a lovely experience, and the service is warm and accommodating. Still one of our all-time favorite restaurants in Orlando. We live in Europe now, but we always make a special trip to Bites & Bubbles.“

“Smooth vibes, great atmosphere, sick DJs. Coming back out for sure 💯“

“The food was amazing, I will not go in depth as my friend provided a detailed everything we ate as a review. I hope the food can have a bit more authenticity of Spain specially the octopus we ordered. But the other dishes were very good and hopefully will come back again if they upscale the tapas tastings“

“Vino y cervezas 🍺 y excelente ambiente“

“The food was good and came out quickly however our server Madison was sure to let us know when we sat down at 8:05 that they close at 9pm. At 8:30 she started to turn away customers and before we left, she was talking very loudly next to our table about how they didn’t schedule enough people on the busiest week and how they had to fend people off during the rush. She was clearly upset and everyone could hear her talking about her dissatisfaction with the scheduling, the tip she received at the table she was clearing and the lack of a bartender (she had 4 tables in the restaurant at this time and it’s a wine bar - no drinks to make).

It’s a super cute place with great food options and wine selections, but her disposition made it uncomfortable. I’m a restaurant manager and if she were my employee, I’d be very concerned about her being on the floor with customers in the future.“

“Good food good attention,I spent four days in the hotel and the people who works there during the breakfast they make me feel great every morning thank Gabby and the Lady in the kitchen who cook my food perfectly thanks to the people who work during the night they are profesional and give excelent service I ate the best hamburger of my life in Bite Bistró Thanks again I will come back soon!“

“Great location! Awesome atmosphere!“

“This is one of our favorite bars to come to. But I couldn’t imagine coming from an outside perspective. I feel like this space needs a fully functioning bar and there are noticeable mechanical issues that make the place seem unmaintained by owners. Our bartender was absolutely amazing with such personality and knowledge, it is unfortunate that she has to warn me not to slip on wet floors in my heels and the leaking ceiling. Overall, this bar is a staple to Baldwin and could be so much more.“

“fantastic selection and super tasty. love this place“

“This is such a great cozy place for a unique, well done, flavorful and fun meal.

Nothing covering up for lack of authenticity, it is my favorite spot for Peruvian cuisine which I find fresh, aromatic, protein rich and packed with flavor.

Ceviche is unlike most I’ve ever had.

Thank you for a wonderful meal every time we visit.“

“Seasons 52 never disappoints us and that is why we go back over and over. We tried the new Alaskan Butterfish on the fall menu. It melted in my mouth. Ponzu broth was good but personally, I prefer the butterfish to be cooked miso glazed and the rice under the fish to be dry. The wilted spinach in between the tower of fish and the rice was a very generous portion and the shiitake mushroom topping was just right. I will ask the broth to be on the side when I go back for this dish again!“

“Ate Sunday brunch. Staff was very friendly, food was delicious and served fast. Bartender (Hailey) was very polite and responsive. Good atmosphere. Would come back!“

“I haven't been to Orlando in awhile but if God is willing the first meal I have when i get back will be here! This place is the real deal.“

“We visited this past July and the Luna Antipasti was delicious. It wasn’t just dinner, it was an experience! Highly recommend!“

“Great family dining experience, highly recommend!“

“Very nice place ♥️🇺🇦🔆 Thanks 😊“

“The lounge was perfect for our family of 6, with 3 adult sons! The Wagyu burger experience was great! So happy the kettle chips and onion/caviar dip is now offered as an app! The only bad thing is that we had almost a full order of truffle fries leftover and they forgot to put it with our togo food :(“

“We dined here for our anniversary dinner and were pleasantly impressed with the attentiveness of the staff. It wasn’t formal as they are at Del Frisco’s but they let you know they were there. Even the managing partner, Philip and the manager, Jeff introduced themselves. We had the price fixe Land and Sea and opted for a tomahawk ribeye which was done as I prefer with little seasoning and salt. The mushroom bisque soup was flavorful. Our waitress, Dana was attentive and professional. I would definitely come back because Del Frisco’s will probably cost us twice as much.“

“Stopped here for an early dinner, and everything I ordered was absolutely delicious. I had a cuban sandwich, chicken empanada, and a cafe con leche. Not horribly priced for great quality food, would highly recommend it if in the area!“

“Best Place to Hang . Great People Jen, Will , great music from Greg, awesome Live shows from Eugene and his 5 Pints of Truth( like Pascal awesome Guitarist, Kate Great Voice, ….), … great patronage Josh, Nigel, JayMob and so much more! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍“

“Best spot in town. All local, all love. All of the time.“

“If ur looking for a relaxing lounge and a GREAT variety of not only wines but craft beers both local and across the US, Digress is your place as it’s now mine!!“

“If you're looking for that perfect low-key, no-fuss Friday night spot, The Toper Taproom & Ziggie’s Pizza is it. This cozy little dive bar hits the sweet spot between relaxed and lively — think eclectic beer list, boutique wines, and a crowd that feels more like neighbors than strangers.

The pizza? Surprisingly good — crispy, cheesy, and perfect with whatever cold drink you’re sipping. There’s a rotating selection of beers (local faves and offbeat finds) that’ll please both hop heads and casual sippers. Add in some nice wine options and you’ve got choices for everyone.

The outdoor seating is a major plus too — perfect for late-night convos and people-watching. This place has real character. Whether you're catching up with an old friend or making new ones at the bar, it’s got that kind of vibe you wish more places had. Definitely a go-to chill nook in the neighborhood.“

“Pablo Marrero was excellent in every way. He went above and beyond in EVERY aspect of our Christmas Employee Dinner. The meals were delicious and the service TOP NOTCH. Highly recommend!!!“

“My husband and I went here for my birthday last night. Every person that worked there was friendly and welcoming. They made us feel like they appreciated us choosing them for dinner. Our food was delicious and perfectly prepared. Usually my steak is cooked terribly because I need it well done. When the steak came it was huge, I just knew it would not be right. The steak was perfect! Well done, yet still not dried out! From the time we entered the door, every single worker greeted us and made me feel special.“

“EVERYTHING I have ever tried here is amazing! First experience was Thanksgiving for a party of 8. We literally got one of everything off the menu and let’s just say zero left overs! The empanadas are OUT OF THIS WORLD! The drink menu is Astrology themed and if you are into space/ astronauts the decor will excite you! There is even a couple selfie photo spots that are space themed. Desserts are TRULY special get the super nova it’s a whole experience! You will not be dissatisfied at all Truly a favorite spot!“

“Amazing! Best sandwich i ever ate i think! I can not wait to try them all! I'll be talking about this for a long time!“

“El mejor lugar para comer suchi.! Los duros recomendados al 100% The best place to eat suchi.! The best place 100%“

“First time in here was sitting at the bar and the bartender came within 30 seconds of asking me what I would like. Very elegant place even though it’s a hole in the wall it’s very nice if you come down to Florida, you have to visit this place.“

“I consider myself a ‘Chicken Marsala’ connoisseur and I have to tell you, this place is outstanding. If Francisco is in the kitchen, your food is going to be out of this world. I come here 2-3x/week, that’s how much I love it. I also highly recommend their Bucatini Bolognese, my children love it. Very large portion sizes (big enough that I split 1 Bolognese into two bowls and my 8 + 5 year old can hardly finish it) , friendly staff and small restaurant vibes, 10/10 for me! - Elizabeth Woollcombe-Clarke“

“Had w wonderful birthday dinner tonight! Delicious!“

“I love that there is a cute spot that has yummy food and sweets. Love the lox bagel and the Goat.“

“Was there for Saturday Comedy Night. Sat at the bar. Bartender was super attentive and accommodating. If the comedy lineup is anything like what was there on 4/6/24 then y’all should all buy tickets post haste. The comics were hilarious and I laughed so hard my face hurt. You should go, you definitely won’t regret it.“

“Great bar and food to have by the pool!
THE BAR is outstanding. Great selection of beers, both the big name brands and some delicious local breweries. In the same high level are the cocktails, very creative and phenomenal taste.
Our favorites were the CORE DENSITY and the GRS. The staff is also very friendly. 10/10 experience.

THEL GRILL is great as well. You can order straight from the pool, via a QRCode, and pick up at a side window (the app wasn't updating correctly when I was there, but the Hotel had just opened, so perhaps they will have fixed it by the time you read this) either way, check with them if you think your food should already be done. I highly recommend the HUMMUS & PITA.
It's a great choice if you’re relaxing by the pool, or on their outside tables.

And seriously, don’t overlook the cocktails!“

“Aquí te sirven como reina desde el plato hasta la atención. Y como tú lo quieras. El mojito sin azucar(soy diabética) como usted lo ordene mi majestad! Aquí los precios no suben y la calidad de la comida excelente“

“Nice location, easy to get to. Try it out for yourself.“

“Phenomenal drinks at Bar Moonshine! We got the sherbet lemon and lobe blaster. The lobe blaster is easily the best drink we had at epic across several days. It is pretty strong so you should be responsible in how many you get. The sherbet lemon was a solid drink, though the lavender was surprisingly strong and as someone indifferent about lavender it was a bit overwhelming - but that’s on me for ordering that drink as it is clear in the description that that’s the case. Service was speedy but they still made sure every question was answered while staying in character. We will definitely be back for a lobe blaster on our next visit to Epic.“

“We love eating at Durian whenever we are in the Moss Park area. The food is delicious and the service attentive.“

“Table of 8-10 next to us was abusing the waitstaff. The manager knew what was going on, but did nothing to help protect the staff. The interactions with the large table prevented other guests from getting the service they deserved and took away from the whole guest experience.“
