Foreigner Restaurant - Orlando, Florida

David Folger

The Foreigner is certainly one of Orlando's best kept culinary secrets. My wife and I have dined with Chef Bruno and his staff several times over the years and the dishes him and his team continually exceed any expectations we have when entering. Chef reinvents his menu monthly to go with the exceptional ingredients he acquires.

On this visit my wife and I decided to splurge a little and do the caviar service. The results were beyond our expectations. Chef has reinvented the classic dish and elevated it to new heights by modifying the classics of a Bellini, shallots, egg and creme freche to crispy potato sticks, pickled shallots, egg yolk jam and preserved lemon creme freche. The results are magical. (Sorry for the so so photo of this dish, we got a little excited and started before I took the picture). I highly recommend this addition if you're looking for a way to enhance your evening.

I also did the standard wine pairing and if you're a wine lover this is a must. Every wine is perfectly paired with the courses it's meant for with generous pours. The attention to detail in this area and the descriptions during the presentation of each wine raises the experience that much more.

Finally I must mention that this is not simply a dinner. The open kitchen and interactions with Chef and his team truly makes this an experience. I've eaten at a lot of fine dining establishments throughout the US and Europe and this is on par with any of the Michelin star restaurants I've been to.

My husband and I came here this past Saturday with some family and had a truly wonderful experience. We did the 5:30pm dining time and ended up being the only 4 in there, so we got a special private dining session with Bruno and the staff. It was so fun to get to talk with him and hear what each dish was and what inspired them. Everything was amazing and unique! We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing food and a top tier experience enjoying it.

As usual, Chef Bruno and team serve up the perfect evening. The ambience is warm and inviting as you enter this cozy and chic restaurant. They personalize every detail and ensure you feel like part of the experience. The food is always incredible and tonight was no exception. The entire team dazzled us from start to finish which always keeps us coming back time and time again. We already can’t wait for our next visit!

Chef Bruno and his team are masters of a unique culinary experience. We enjoyed an 11 + top chef course dinner. Watching the chef and team prep and cook with such dedicated coordination was amazing. The high quality locally sourced ingredients shine through. Every meal was spectacular, and carefully prepared. The charcoal and black pepper sourdough bread with black garlic butter were amazing, The aged and braised rabbit was the “Wow” dish. All the way to the beautifully crafted desserts. You can taste the love and dedication in each bite. Elegant, and personal atmosphere. An Orlando gem. Highly recommend!

This restaurant had been on my to try list and my sister treated my BIL and I to celebrate life from a tough year!

Everything was exceptional and the blend of flavors with each course were delicious and on point. The staff and the chef were friendly, attentive, professional and explained each course as we received it. At the end of our meal, for dessert we moved to the communal tile to enjoy our sweets and if needed some coffee.

I forgot to mention that we started with the caviar add on, which was good and it was a surprise to have it served with potatoes. Personally, we like the usual way to serve caviar (bread) but it was a good thing to try.

The restaurant is nicely decorated with a modern chic look and feel and seating encourages other guests to talk to each other if they would like.

It was an awesome experience and we will definitely be back. Thank you!

Had their dinner service at Lake Meadows Naturals. The staff were incredible. Especially the sommelier Brett. He was extremely knowledgeable and so fun to talk to.
Executive Chef Bruno food was delicious and creative. We had an amazing time and even made some new friends.
Thank you to all the staff that made this possible ❤️

Great! Originally planned to go elsewhere, but this place had an opening. Pretty good, indeed. They start with a matcha lime drink. The tomato sorbet salad is tasty. The sandwich is decent, but the brioche at the bottom is a bit heavy. The charcuterie is delicious, with fragrant ham. Desserts are also good, especially the sweet soup with cherry and blue cheese, although the chocolate is average. They offer wine pairing, with a different wine for each dish. Would come back for the new menu.

This was more than just food (which was delicious), it was an experience. Intimate 10 top chef's table. All the food was beautiful, delicious, explained, and beyond expectation. I went expecting to be underwhelmed as I am largely a burger and fries guy. I thought it was going to be an Instagram fiesta. It was not. It was simple but delicious and has redefined my thoughts on dining (I am still a burgers and fries guy though!!). The staff was attentive and went above and beyond. When I arrived I wanted a beer and they told me they were sold out from the night before. I joked about giving them $20 to go buy a 12 pack at circle K and 7 minutes later they actually showed up with a 12 pack. This is service you just don't get anywhere. Sure, it is pricy and not an every week event, but the menu changes every month and my wife and I will be back to try future menus. This is a must go!
