Emeril Lagasse has two restaurants in the Orlando area, both at Universal. Emeril's Orlando is at Citywalk, for reservations call: (407) 224-2424.
Chef Joel Morgan is the Chef du Cuisine at Emeril's Orlando.
Here are their
lunch and
dinner menus.
Emeril's Tchoup Chop (pronounced Chop Chop), is a pan-asian restaurant, located in the Royal Pacific hotel and is somewhat less expensive, for reservations call (407) 503-2467.
Chef Nicholas Shust is Chef du Cuisine.
Here are their
lunch and
dinner menus.
For both restaurants from their web site:
Attire: We recommend business casual attire. However, smart-casual attire is completely acceptable. We ask that gentlemen not wear sleveless shirts.
They do recognize that they are located in a theme park and (with the exception of tank tops) are pretty willing to be flexible (they do not care about people wearing hats and theme park t-shirts for example).
Both restaurants sell a variety of Emeril's merchandise including cook books and t-shirts.
From my experience, both restaurants have excellent food and service. If one has never had a tasting meal, try one at Emeril's Orlando. This will be 6-9 small courses (depending on the day) including desert. Their sommelier will also offer a wine specially pared with each course for an extra cost.
Emeril's Orlando's Degustaion (tasting) Menu is $75, and its wine pairing is an additional $45.
Emeril's Tchoup Chop offers one as well, but not every day (I think it costs $55 and I think its wine pairing is $35, but I am not sure).
Enjoy.
