Get ready to treat your taste buds! Kia Center has even more local favorites and new dishes you won’t find anywhere else.
Kia Center and hospitality partner Levy teamed up on an evolved local food and beverage experience that plates, pours and serves the best food and beverage offerings celebrating Orlando’s diverse and thriving culinary community. Orlando Table, the arena’s platform to showcase the city’s and region’s favorite restaurants, chefs and purveyors, will expand this year to feature eight local favorites across concourse concessions.
The new 4(or)7 menu offers several of the most popular menu offerings for either $4 or $7, a nod to Orlando’s 407 area code. Plus, guests can enjoy new offerings before, during and after events – from signature menu items in concessions to a new restaurant experience at Tavern on Church.
“Orlando has a thriving, diverse culinary community all on its own,” said Chad-Jan Neuman, Senior Executive Chef for Levy at Kia Center. “We’re celebrating the community in multiple new ways inside the arena, from curated menus in concessions to local products in our markets, pop-up appearances from popular local chefs, and signature offerings crafted right here by our own local culinary team. We're bringing the best of Orlando together under one roof at Kia Center.”
