This week on Let’s Eat Orlando, Amy Drew and Biggie dive fork-first into one of our favorite trends in dining — food halls! Whether you’re craving noodles, empanadas, vegan comfort food, or cookies the size of your palm, Orlando’s got a food hall for you.

We chat about some of the newest (and tastiest!) openings around town, including:

✨ Art² Downtown Orlando — a creative urban pocket park that’s now home to À La Cart Downtown Orlando, featuring:

• 🍜 Red Panda Noodle

• 🚚 Culinary Collective — a static food truck serving up ever-changing culinary concepts

• 🍪 Phat Ashe Bakes — those thick mini cookies you’ll want to grab by the dozen!

🍽️ Hall’s on the 5th in Apopka — the city’s first-ever food hall and a delicious new reason to explore! Featuring favorites like:

• 🥩 Butcher’s Nook

• 🥟 Empanada & Co.

• 🍔 Parlor Kitchen

• 🌱 Soulicious Vegan

• 🍰 Sweet & Salty

• 🥗 Thrive Eatery

And of course, Biggie gives a shoutout to Henry’s Depot — a Sanford staple packed with flavor from:

• 🍦 Greenery Creamery

• 🥪 Pom Pom’s Sandwiches

• 🍤 The Bait & Hook

• 🔥 Pollo Al Fuego

• (and yes, Sweet & Salty makes another delicious appearance!)

We also get into why food halls are such a win for Orlando diners — the variety, the community vibe, and the chance to support multiple local chefs all under one roof.
