The Ravenous Pig
The Ravenous Pig is Orlando's defining gastropub, a James Beard Award-nominated restaurant from chefs James and Julie Petrakis that has anchored the Winter Park dining scene since 2007 with its commitment to locally sourced, seasonally driven American cooking. The menu changes constantly to reflect what is growing at nearby farms, but the craft beer program and house-cured charcuterie board are constants that set the tone immediately upon arrival. The duck fat fries, the rotating seasonal pastas, and the smoked fish dip served with housemade crackers represent the kitchen's ability to elevate approachable dishes without losing sight of what makes them satisfying. The pub atmosphere is warm and sophisticated without being stuffy. Reserve for dinner, let the server walk you through the seasonal specials, and order whatever incorporates the most local Florida produce.
