Trieste & Ephraim
Things To Do
TORI TORI
One of our favorite Orlando spots! Japanese pub with great highballs and yakitori.
The Strand
Located in the Mills 50 District of Orlando, this small restaurant has a seasonal menu using fresh Florida ingredients. If there's a wait, check out their sister bar, d.b.a. next door. Once seated, try the snapper and any of their rotating desserts!
East End Market
From the best vegan fried chicken sandwich at Winter Park Biscuit Company, delicious ramen at DOMU and monster-sized cookies at Gideons to all the FL themed souvenirs and a well-balanced happy hour at Neighbors, you have it all at this food hall.
Otto’s High Dive
Newly opened Puerto Rican and Cuban influenced restaurant and rum bar is a growing favorite. Grab some pistachio coquito (Ephraim's favorite) or the Mariposa cocktail (Trieste's favorite).
Sampaguita Ice Cream
Filipino ice cream shop with a wide array of flavors and ice cream creations - including vegan options. Located in Little Vietnam, you can get your fill of Vietnamese food before heading over to Sampaguita for some dessert (as seen on Somebody Feed Phil).
Deeply Cafe and Bottle Shop
If you're staying downtown, this is our favorite coffee shop in the area. Round out your morning with their breakfast sandwich or one of their homemade poptarts. Or maybe both, and walk around Lake Eola just steps away.
Player 1 Video Game Bar
We have many memories here from early on in our dating history! Classic and new video games, a wide selection of craft beer and causal atmosphere.
Mathers Social Gathering
Speakeasy vibe with a dress code (no hats, shorts, crocs, etc. - check out the website for specifics). Cocktails are good and strong. It may not sound it, but it's overall laid back environment.
Crooked Can Brewing Company
Located in Winter Garden, you can make a day of it walking around experiencing a hyper-local slice of Central Florida and supporting small businesses, ending the day with a beer at Crooked Can.
Grape and the Grain Wine Bar
Laid-back wine bar in the afternoons and evenings, live music venue and dance spot by night.
Disney Springs
The part of Disney you don't need to pay to enter, but you'll likely want to spend your money on any of the many shops, activities, restaurants and bars. Good for both Disney lovers and those who could care less alike.
Walt Disney World
No explanation necessary, but we couldn't make this list and not include it.
Universal Studios Florida
Universal Epic Universe, the new park inside Universal, opens May 2025. This might be your sign to check it out early!
