With its brick-lined streets, boutique eateries, and quaint yet chic atmosphere, Winter Park is widely considered one of the most romantic places to have dinner in all of Central Florida. Start your search on Park Avenue where many of its posh bistros offer street side seating with views of tranquil Central Park. Each spot has its own unique perk. Luma on Park is a trendy spot with artsy cuisine, creative cocktails and a "see and be seen" vibe. Park Plaza Gardens has an internal dining room that makes you feel like you've escaped to an enchanted courtyard. Circa has live music and dancing upstairs at its 'supper club'. The Bistro's tucked away locale is secluded and intimate. Finally, Café de France and Chez Vincent win couples over with rich French cuisine. Beyond Park Avenue, Houston's (now Hillstone) is the best lakeside eatery in Winter Park. Be sure to arrive with enough time to enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail seated in one of the restaurant's cozy Adirondack chairs. Just up the road, Ruth's Chris and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse are ideal for couples who love a high-ends steakhouse and an upper crust setting. But for those lovebirds in search of a hidden gem, Rocco's Italian Grille is sure to please. This local secret has been garnering local foodie awards (including 2010 Best Italian by the Orlando Sentinel) which means the secret is finally out.
