Best Authentic Restaurants in Windermere

Sophie’s Trattoria is a hidden gem within the Conrad. The food is exceptional and the service was both friendly and attentive. There are loads of great options on the menu and we really liked the inclusion of seasonal items. You must get the seasonal squash salad while it is still on the menu. The short rib entree was perfection and even something simple and “boring” like the greens salad with grilled chicken was way more tasty than one would expect it to be. Pro tip - ask for an order of the kids mac and cheese as a side dish. You’ll be glad you did. I will absolutely return again for dinner and I do look forward to trying their breakfast and lunch options in the future. 

Best Italian food in Orlando. Every dish is amazing, service is great. Wide variety of options on the menu.

The breakfast service (especially the full buffet breakfast) was AMAZING and exquisite!!! This is a must visit restaurant if you ever stay at The Four Seasons at Walt Disney World 👍👍👍

My husband and I enjoyed authentic Mexican steak dishes on Thanksgiving day! The lobby lounge and restaurant are both stunning. We had reservations for 7 PM, but we arrived early, hoping that they could accommodate us. The host offered us an available table without us having to ask! They placed us at the most beautiful two seat table by open window to where you could see the entire Evermore lagoon and it is breathtaking. However, our service and the actual food was even more beautiful than the scenery. My steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. There were no mistakes on my husband’s fish tacos, everything came out piping, hot and delicious. I am a chef, but I do not reveal that. I wanted to see the authenticity and service as a raw customer. This restaurant did not disappoint. From the plating details, taste, consistency and authenticity… everything was spot on. Job well done.

Our server “Loily” I think that was her name. She was attentive, knew the menu and had a great attitude!
