Time is running out to take advantage of hundreds of Florida’s top restaurants offering limited-time deals for diners to experience sought-after establishments at a reduced rate.

Options include restaurants with James Beard Award winning chefs, like Uchi in Miami, celebrity chef Richard Blais’ Orlando restaurant Four Flamingos and Naples’ Café Milano, recently recognized by TripAdvisor as one of the county’s top 10 “hidden games.”

There’s also a charity element built into some of the deals:

In Southwest Florida, dining at a participating restaurant will benefit Blessings in a Backpack SWFL, which helps feed elementary school students.

Magical Dining in Orlando benefits OCA, an organization empowering people with autism and other developmental differences.

Proceeds from Miami Spice this year benefit Camillus House, which has been South Florida’s leading system of care, providing housing, meals, healthcare, job training, and pathways to stability.
