About this tour
A three-hour walking food tour through Orlando's Ivanhoe Village neighbourhood, stopping at five local restaurants for tastings that add up to a full meal. You'll choose between brunch or afternoon service, moving at a relaxed pace past lake views and street murals while a guide shares stories about the area and its food culture. Designed as a small-group experience that supports independent local businesses rather than chain restaurants.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide and head out on foot through Ivanhoe Village, stopping at five independently owned restaurants over the course of three hours. At each stop, you'll receive a tasting-sized portion and learn about the dish, the restaurant, and the area's food culture or history. The tastings are sequenced so flavours build from savoury early on through to something sweet at the end, forming a complete meal across the five venues.
The pace is leisurely — you're not rushing between stops. You'll have time to enjoy the neighbourhood's visual character, including lakeside stretches and street art, while your guide talks you through what makes Ivanhoe Village distinct. One drink is included if you're on the brunch tour; afternoon-tour guests can opt into a paid three-drink package at check-in. You'll end back where you started, having eaten your fill and learned the local angle.
