Tapas Restaurants near Lake Buena Vista, FL

“This is a must for a nice break during a day at Hollywood Studios! Nice stop for some wine, craft beers, charcuterie and pretzels! I recommend getting a beer flight (or two) coupled with a charcuterie platter and a pretzel. Great alternative to the park food and certainly healthier! We’ve been here several times and always look forward to coming back!“

“This bar is so beautiful and has ample seating choices. The service is attentive and everything comes out quickly. We did get a few drinks which were good (very very strong!!!) but the star of the show was the calamari! By far the best calamari I've ever had!“

“Fantastic food and breathtaking views! I'm very surprised by the mixed reviews as this was an amazing experience. The service was stellar, the Spanish-inspired menu was amazing, and we just could not get over how beautiful the views were. This restaurant sits at the top of Gran Destino Tower at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. The pricing was fair, too. Portion sizes can be smaller sometimes at Spanish/tapas restaurants, but we were very satisfied here. This may be one of our new favorites on Disney property!“

“Hawkers is an amazing Asian street food establishment. We had the great pleasure of having Dominic be our server, he was very prompt, efficient and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered a variety of different food including Pad Thai, Fries, Double Fried Wings and Pork Belly. The owner has truly mastered the art of an amazing experience from the menu to the staff to the environment. There is even Asian artwork in the bar surround and into the bathroom, that’s legit!“

“I had dinner here and overall it was good. It is a tapas style restaurant. However, the jerk chicken and the curry goat were pretty big portion which was awesome. I am from Miami so the arroz con pollo was not to my liking. The drinks were also great. I had the rum flight and it was absolutely sensational.Parking: The restaurant is located inside of a hotel. So the hotel parking garage is used.“

“Any off the grill NY steaks will be excellent. There’s a fried fish pieces that we highly recommend. It comes with ahomemade tartar sauce. Our Servers Rodrigo and Eduarda were very friendly and was helpful when selecting from the menu. The atmosphere was clean and comfortable. A simple restaurant, turned lovely dining experience.“

“Wow!!! I have been to many spanish restaurants here in Florida… Turull’s from the patatas bravas, the manchego croquettes and the famous paellas made us feel like we were in Madrid walking down the restaurants behind the Plaza Mayor. You need to go and try it out, you will not regret it.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu, they will listen and accommodate.“

“I crave the Whiskey Burger and have to go here every time I go to Orlando. They have a good bar but measure their pours to the micro gram. The Burgers are excellent and the Truffle Fries are absolutely the go-to. The music is a little loud (always) but even worse when there is a live performance. We always go to the bar or sit close to the front. I'd give 5 stars for Atmosphere if the music was toned down a bit. I live what they are playing but don't want to have to shout with the people I'm eating with.“

“Peter is the head chef hear and ensures you have a great experience. By far the best experience I’ve had on a vacation dining out. YOU WILL NOT REGRET coming here for a dinner or quick snack.Peter really puts pride into his craft and makes sure you have a great time.“

“I lived in Japan for 10 years and this restaurant immediately takes me back! My go to here is the tonkotsu black ramen and chicken kaarage, which is always a generous portion. And if you like the "weird" parts for yakitori, they have those on the weekends but get there early because they sell out fast. Definitely worth they drive out to the Disney area!!“

“We decided to celebrated Valentines Day ? at Soul Tapas bar since my husband is a Beatles fan. Well it was a great choice the service staff made evening in their hands to making happens.Not only the service was outstanding but the food was delicious . Can not be more excited to go for brunch ?“

“My wife and I went to this place for date night. The building it is in, was unexpected. You honestly wouldn’t know it was there but boy was I glad I found this place. We ordered baked oysters, stuffed mushrooms, jambalaya, seafood boil with brown butter, copious different wines and drinks, and dessert which was a limoncello mascarpone cake. Everything we ate was immaculate. I’m a picky eater and I have nothing bad to say about the experience. Our waitress was there but not overbearing. She seemed to know when we needed something before we needed it. Fantastic service overall. 11/10 would go again!“
