Four Flamingos: A Richard Blais Florida Kitchen opened in 2022 at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress. The menu incorporates fresh Florida flavors including coconut, mango and passion fruit into dishes like tuna, shrimp, crab and more. You can even pick your own lobster from a tank and have the chefs prepare it for you. Doesn’t get much fresher than that!

Winter Park Biscuit Co. has been known to the locals since 2017 when the husband-wife-owned business started doing pop-up kitchens around Orlando. The restaurant moved into a brick-and-mortar location inside East End Market in 2020. Diners repeatedly ask again, and again and again, if the crispy “chicken” sandwich is really vegan (it’s made of a soy and pea protein patty) or if the “buttermilk” biscuits really contain dairy. It’s true! Not a lick of animal product or byproduct in any ingredient. In fact, the oat milk, which becomes the “buttermilk, is made in-house. There’s typically a line formed when the kitchen opens at 11 a.m.
