Whether you are here to make the most out of your Disney World visit or just passing through some of its neighborhoods, here are the top places that you must eat at to know the most intricate spirits of Orlando and pull it closer to your heart.
In no particular order are what our family thinks the top places to eat with kids in Orlando are.

Looking forward to starting your day with some freshly baked pancakes and smoothies, then there couldn’t be a better choice than Keke’s breakfast café. Regardless of your preferences, sweet or savory, you will find everything in their catalog.

You will be happy to choose from a wide array of options including cereals, omelets, juices and the like. They have three locations in Orlando.
2. Another Broken Egg
Fried Chicken Eggs Benedict at Another Broken Egg
The name of the eatery itself is so interesting that you will be drawn to try its menu without any discrepancies whatsoever. This spot is popular around the whole of Orlando as a brunching stalwart and specializes in hearty and delectable dishes that can effortlessly brighten up the dullest of your days.
In the mood to take your breakfast experience to another level? Try their spiked Nutella iced latte because we are certain that it is something that you have waited for your entire life to try. Also, the place is usually full at all times of the day; thus, if you have your eyes set on this restaurant, we would advise you to reach 30-40 minutes early and reserve your seat.
3. Briar Patch 
Looking for something that will make your Instagram wall look on point and yet serve you with the authentic taste of Orlando wrapped around in its pristine quintessence? Then Briar Patch is the answer. The dishes are not only garnished in the most aesthetic ways but, are pleasing to the taste buds as well.
This American brunch spot has existed in the business for 40 years now and its knack to blow the mind of its patrons with its excellence hasn’t faded even by a tinge over these years. Unfortunately, the place doesn’t accept reservations, so if you are willing to give it a shot, be ready to wait in line for 20-30 minutes on weekdays and weekends.
4. Lazy Moon Pizza
Lazy Moon, without a doubt, serves the best pizza in town and each of this delicacy’s slices is so big that they have a fork and knife accompanying the pizza. For some, having to disintegrate a pizza with knife and fork is nothing less than sin; but, trust us when we say that the pieces are so big that if you try to accommodate the entire thing in your hand, you will most likely spill the toppings and sauce or create a massacre. So the best way to enjoy it would be with its supplementary cutlery.
