Michelin’s Four New Orlando Restaurant Additions

Orlando’s culinary scene has just leveled up with the latest batch of MICHELIN Guide additions. Four standout restaurants are making waves, adding even more flair to a city that’s fast becoming a gastronomic destination. Here’s a look at the new spots that will have your taste buds doing backflips.

Greg Perkins / Coro

Coro – Where Comfort Meets Creativity
Cuisine: Contemporary

Nestled in Audubon Park, Coro is the neighborhood spot you didn’t know you needed but will never forget. Chef Tim Lovero greets diners with a welcoming first bite that sets the tone for a meal filled with delightful surprises.

From their shared-plate menu, the warm potato naan with whipped chicken skin butter and marmalade will transport your taste buds. The lamb shoulder, paired with butternut squash purée and sautéed greens, melts in your mouth like a savory dream. And dessert? Oh, it’s a showstopper—a reimagined “fries and milkshake” with panna cotta, crispy sunchoke, cocoa nibs, and diced French fries. Coro redefines the meaning of comfort food with sophistication.

Micah Cox / Sorekara

Sorekara – A Journey Beyond Expectations
Cuisine: Japanese

Sorekara in Baldwin Park is not just a restaurant; it’s an adventure. Chef William Shen invites guests on a whimsical culinary journey through Japan’s 72 micro-seasons, where elegance meets eccentricity.

The tasting menu playfully redefines dining norms with dishes inspired by everything from 7-Eleven snacks to exquisite nigiri. Think madai with a unique twist or a savory bowl of kegani crab sourced from Hokkaido. This intimate experience unfolds over several hours and through multiple rooms, making it clear that Sorekara isn’t just dinner—it’s a story you’ll savor.

Ledy Saengphaxay / UniGirl

UniGirl – Onigiri to Die For
Cuisine: Japanese

Nestled in Mills Market, UniGirl is as beloved as its namesake pup, Uni. Chef Shen’s casual concept is all about serving some of the best onigiri this side of the Pacific.

Customers queue early to grab these tasty rice triangles while they’re still warm. The menu shifts daily, with specials like a Japanese curry hash brown stealing the spotlight. The unagi onigiri, featuring tender cubes of barbecued eel and sweet sauce, is a fan favorite. Don’t delay—UniGirl’s treats are gone as fast as they’re made.

Orlando firm Make Design Studios created ÔMO’s stunning spaces.

Ômo by Jônt – French Meets Japanese Elegance
Cuisine: Contemporary

Winter Park welcomes Ômo by Jônt, the Florida sibling to Chef Ryan Ratino’s celebrated D.C. restaurant. With its refined tasting menus, Ômo brings together classic French techniques and Japanese precision.

From an autumnal chawanmushi with sweet potato and brown butter to a perfectly executed scallop two ways, each dish is a masterpiece. Finish with a chocolate and hazelnut kakigori that’s both decadent and artful. Whether you choose the accessible menu or splurge on luxury ingredients, Ômo offers an unforgettable experience.

Orlando’s food scene is heating up, and these new MICHELIN Guide additions prove we’re not just about theme parks and sunshine. So grab your fork, make a reservation, and let these extraordinary restaurants redefine your dining expectations. Bon appétit!
