Romantic Orlando Restaurants: Norman’s by Chef Norman Van Aken

A staple of Orlando fine dining has returned. Chef Norman Van Aken’s Norman’s, formerly located at the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes, closed in 2019, but has reopened in a new location as stunning as its menu. This romantic restaurant in Orlando marks the return of modern cuisine in an elevated atmosphere. Come with us as we explore this new space, share menu highlights, and even get to interview Chef Norman Van Aken himself.

Located in the Dellagio Town Center in Dr. Phillips, Norman’s is helmed by Van Aken, a James Beard semi-finalist and the only Florida chef to be inducted into James Beard’s list of “Who’s Who in American Food and Beverage.”
