Florida has thousands of great restaurants to choose from, but sometimes you need something extra special. If you're looking for an exciting way to celebrate a special occasion or have a fun night out, check out these unique themed restaurants in Florida.
1. Be Our Guest, Walt Disney World, Orlando
Whether you're a beauty or you have the appetite of a beast, this upscale restaurant in the Magic Kingdom is sure to impress you. The magnificent rooms are decorated to resemble Beast's enchanted castle, and the menu is full of hearty French and American cuisine. Bon Appetit! To learn more, visit the website for Be Our Guest Restaurant in Walt Disney World.
2. Mai-Kai Restaurant, Fort Lauderdale
This local landmark is one of the few tiki-themed restaurants of 1950s fame still in operation today. It's kitschy to the core, with tropical drinks, entertainment, and lots of fun. For more information, visit the Mai-Kai Restaurant website.
3. Medieval Times, Kissimmee
Think of it as extreme dinner theater. Jousting and sword fights accompanied by spectacular modern lighting and production. Pretty good food with no silverware provided (to keep things authentic). Maybe it's a little corny, but it's also irresistibly fun. Visit the Medieval Times Restaurant website to learn more.
4. Clark's Fish Camp, Jacksonville
Unfortunately, since the time of publication this restaurant has since closed.
Clark's houses a huge menagerie of stuffed animals, but not just those native to Florida. You'll find lions, tigers and bears (oh my!), and even an exhibit with turtles, fish and a 5-foot live alligator. To learn more, visit the website for Clark's Fish Camp in Jacksonville.
5. The Wreck Bar, Fort Lauderdale
This unique bar was designed to look like a sunken ship. Weekend mermaid shows performed in the hotel pool complete the illusion and draw tons of visitors. To learn more, visit the website for The Wreck Bar in Fort Lauderdale.
6. The Bubble Room, Captiva Island
One theme just wasn't enough for this colorful restaurant. The Bubble Room features antiques, stars of the silver screen, Christmas decorations, and moving trains on all three (yes, three!) floors. Check out the The Bubble Room's website to learn more.
7. Mythos, Islands of Adventure, Orlando
The atmosphere is incredible in this Ancient Greek-themed restaurant. You'll feel like you're dining inside a scenic cavern, complete with waterfalls and towering formations. For more information, visit the website for Mythos Restaurant in Universal Orlando.
8. Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater, Walt Disney World, Orlando
If you love all things retro and long to experience a drive-in movie (without the Florida heat), check out this kitschy classic located in Disney's Hollywood Studios. To learn more, visit the website for the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater in Walt Disney World.
9. Ciro's Speakeasy & Supper Club, Tampa
It can be hard to find a themed restaurant that feels suitable for a date night without the kids, but Ciro's is just that. Guests must call ahead to get the day's password before stepping into this vintage hideaway. Visit the website for Ciro's Speakeasy & Supper Club to learn more.
10. Seminole Gulf Railroad, Fort Myers
Diners on this train enjoy a delicious five-course dinner and an exciting show, all during a three and a half hour train ride. For the latest information, visit the Seminole Gulf Railroad website.
