The restaurant is set inside a garden surrounded by foliage that makes you feel like your outside and gives way to natural light. Our server was Adam and although the restaurant is buffet style, he was very attentive to our drinks and clearing plates. Room for all size groups or can be enjoyed alone. Highly recommend. read more

Sadly, this restaurant is not opened daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We went last week (mid-December on a Wednesday evening) and discovered that they were closed. My recommendation is to call the hotel's front desk to ensure that the restaurant is open before heading there. Also, they don't validate for parking costs. read more

The Burritos were huge. Birra birra tacos were cooked perfect and very holy spice!! This place was awesome, I could not belive how well the food tasted being in heavy touritist area.

Villa de Flora is a buffet style restaurant with self service and table service for drinks. The outdoor seating (within the Atrium) is beautiful, perfect for social photos, and intimate despite being in he main atrium. Our server was pleasant and on top of everyone's needs. He gave us space to talk and kept an eye on refills and kept our coffees hot and creamers filled The food was excellent! You're able to control your portion size here. Cost is $35 for adults for breakfast and $50 for adults for dinner I'm not a big fan of buffets, but I'll go back here again read more

Villa de Flora - Looking down to the Restaurant during light show - Buffets Near Me - Kissimmee, Florida

I don't usually go to buffets, but walking past Flora for a few days watching people eat finally got to me. It was so easy just to walk from my hotel room, I went twice. I even got the meat guy to know who I was by the second time and he was ready to slice it up! There are those who first go out and try to eat every single item. I went straight for the meat. They had different cuts, so it looks like they change things up every day. read more

Came here for breakfast. The food and the service were both fantastic, and the atmosphere was top notch - feels like you're dining outside even though you're in the enormous air conditioned atrium. The only thing preventing 5 stars is that the breakfast buffet - while delicious with huge variety - is just not a good value. $34 for adults and $17 for kids. I also had a small $12 mimosa. But if money is no object - you will love this breakfast. read more

We were on the Gaylord Property and did not want to leave to eat. This buffet looked interesting and it turned out to be wonderful. There were top cuts of beef and chicken, wonderful roasted vegetables, and the garlic mashed was amazing. There was all kinds of comfort food like mac & cheese and the pasta bar. There was a lot of fresh fruit and a variety cheeses. So many desserts and served in small sizes-so you could taste them all.The atmosphere was amazing as you felt like you were sitting outside but were protected as you were in the atrium. The staff at the serving line and our personal server were attentive and helpful. This was a top quality place and I would go here again. read more

We were so disappointed on our first visit since this buffet re-opened. It seems the offerings are not as bountiful as they used to be. The salad options have really dwindled. For the price of $40 (dinner), we were expecting more. However, soft drinks & coffee are included in the price. They have also done away with the dessert area that included ice cream. They do have a dessert bar with about 5-6 small options. They have the same string lighting overhead, but the bulbs are very bright white, making the ambiance less inviting and the pergola roofing is not as pronounced as before. The atrium inside the hotel is still outstanding and you do see this while you're seated in the restaurant, so that is still very nice. We probably won't be returning, as self-parking is now $35 and valet parking is $50. read more

Is a very limited buffet with no flavor and the soup is not seasoned my experience is really honest the dessert station is limited and no good selections I will not recommend this place to eat read more

My daughter and her significant other invited me to go out for brunch this morning at Villa de Flora. Self park is $30 but the restaurant will validate your parking ticket. We only had to wait two minutes to be seated at 9:30 am on a Sunday. We were seated out in the open with a view of the atrium and all the hotel balconies which was cool while the buffet was only a few steps away. The selections of entrees and sides was extensive. There was a huge fruit bar and separate pastry bar besides the main entrees. And there was a cook to prepare your custom cooked order. We all made multiple trips and loaded up on all the breakfast goodies. I had scrambled eggs, bacon, breakfast potatoes and one biscuit with gravy. We all agreed the eggs were a tad undercooked. Everything else tasted great. My daughter got some fruit and a cup of yogurt to start off then hit the main items. She said the grits were runny but the pancakes were perfect. I thought the bacon was excellent and some of the best ever I've had. I went back for some of the small pastries and liked them so much I went back for seconds. read more

All right, after a day of hitting the parks, you're probably starving. That or, if you're hitting the parks today, you may want to carb load before the long day ahead of you. Villa de Flora is the place for you. This restaurant can be found within the Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee. The restaurant continues in the theme of the resort, heavy greenery, and a slight teleportation to a brand new place. You suddenly do not feel like you are in Orlando anymore. For about $40, you have access to an unlimited breakfast spread. The spread has all of the breakfast classics and are all constantly restocked to ensure freshness. The build your own omelette station allows you to truly pick any ingredient for the omelette or to select from some of preset menu options. read more

I have been to the Easter and Christmas brunches and they have always been terrific. The food has not been cold, but at a perfect temperature and it is all absolutely delicious with the best variety anywhere. It's a lovely place with a huge atrium that is always beautifully decorated. The service is also excellent from the servers, to wait staff and the manager who I was fortunate to meet on the phone when I had a little difficulty with reservations. read more

Very attentive and kind wait staff, 5 star food. Butter made on site was amazing. We went for the dinner buffet Price was very reasonable. read more

If you like steak and other meat then the $40 buffet is worth the wait! They expect reservations and those without them wait behind those that have them in a big line during major events. The staff said there "were no more reservations allowed" but someone in the line said "load the app & make reservations" & that may (???) have gotten us less than the 45 minute wait on a weekend night! There is a good selection of foods and youth age 12 eat for $20. Yum. read more

Villa de Flora - Breakfast - Buffets Near Me - Kissimmee, Florida

Villa de Flora is a stunning, aesthetically pleasing buffet-style restaurant in the heart of Gaylord Palms. The "outdoor" dining ambiance alone warrants a return visit. Quotations because it's not actually outdoors. Close your eyes and you'll think you are! We've eaten here every time we've stayed at Gaylord Palms; whether for brunch or dinner. The service we received this weekend was up to par of past experiences. Same goes for the cuisine served. Mostly, it's coming to grips with the sticker price. $32 for adults and $17 for kids during brunch, $50 for adults for dinner. Are you paying for ambiance or quality of food? I'd probably be less hard on a place if the dollar value was significantly less. But when you have a group of 8, things add up quickly, and there's nothing wrong with wishing to being blown away food-wise. Night one we dined for dinner. The buffets aren't self-serve anymore, or at least during COVID as I pen this review. We started with meats, cheeses, breads and accoutrements. All in all, pretty solid. For mains, the carving station made an appearance. I felt the steak to be overdone, but the flavors were there. Brunch was also pretty good. The servers at each corresponding station fill up your plates with whatever your heart desires. I was feeling eggs, bacon, potatoes and sausage. Little packets of sauce are available from the staff. Unlimited refills of coffee. All crowd pleasing, but not worth the price tag. Like I alluded to earlier, Gaylord Palms has created an atmosphere unlike any hotel I've been to. And maybe that's why it's so expensive. But I'd be remiss if I didn't point out I could find better eats for at least half the price within a few miles. The convenience of rolling out bed into Villa de Flora is magical. We all know convenience is king. But damn, I'd be broke and hung out to dry if I made this a frequent occurrence! read more

This is the breakfast buffet in the Gaylord Palms. We were staying there for my husband's conference and his manager told us it was a good buffet but get there early because it gets really crowded. The whole hotel is extremely crowded so we heeded his warning and got there around 8am. Perfect timing. We were seated almost immediately. A huge line formed shortly after that. The food on the buffet is actually very good. There is lots of fresh fruit, pastries, meats and cheeses or bagel toppings, and traditional breakfast items like bacon, eggs, sausage, potatoes, pancakes etc. There is also an omelet station. They guys at the omelet station were master's at their craft. They did a great job of keeping things moving and making perfect, delicious omelets. The main reason I did not give this a 5 star is that it is way overpriced. It was $70 for two of us and that did not include any alcohol. Normally when I go to a breakfast brunch/buffet for that price I at least get one mimosa. I do have to say that it was better food than the day before at the pool bar though and my husband's coworkers said the sports bar was also just ok. read more

I admit I am not a fan of buffets and Villa de Flora was no exception. We ate here for dinner during our stay at the Gaylord Palms after reading all of the positive reviews, but I am guessing the breakfast must be better than dinner. I was a little surprised at how bad the buffet was since it was packed every time we walked past it. I guess some people prefer quantity over quality. The salad and charcuterie were both disappointing and many of the entrees were dried out from sitting out too long. Dessert wasn't even edible and was a lackluster selection of mousse and pudding cups. The only item worth mentioning on the dinner buffet was the shrimp and grits, but the portions were so tiny that I had to go back for seconds, thirds, fourths and fifths because there was only one shrimp on each plate. Both of our toddlers ate for free, but they barely touched the food so it really wasn't worth eating here since the adult buffet price was expensive. Recommend dining at Old Hickory Steakhouse or Moor instead if you are looking to have dinner at the Gaylord Palms. read more

Came here breakfast and was not disappointed. The offer whipped butter in little glass containers which are so cute! They have something for everyone! My husband loved the egg station and I loved the eggs Benedict and salmon. The ambiance is amazing too bc you feel you're sitting outside but without the bugs or heat. Loved this place. read more

We're here for Best Buy Achievers, a trip that my husband won through work. I had previously been a patron of this restaurant for dinner probably 18 years ago as part of my own work function. I have fond memories of eating here and really enjoying both the food and atmosphere. We were really excited to find out that our lunch vouchers provided by Best Buy included lunch here. Overall we enjoyed our lunch. They had a decent variety of dishes to choose from. I was a little disappointed with the quality of the food served. A lot of it was over seasoned in my opinion. The pizza was very salty, and the eggplant parmigiana had way more meat in it than i prefer. The deserts were decent and 3 out of the 4 we tried were tasty. Would I pay the $30 per person at lunch for this meal if we had a choice? I don't think I would honestly. I know their dinner is more extensive than lunch but for the prices they charge I don't see the value. read more

Poor quality food. Great hotel with food that does not match. It's very strange. Usually those 2 things go together. Maybe the GM grew up eating at Howard Johnson's and doesn't know good food. We ate at Moor and Villa de Flora. Not sure which one has worse food. I think Moor was probably worse. Note to GM.....People that like staying at nice hotels expect good food. read more

Not worth the price. Went for Easter brunch. Overcrowded. Food was cold. Only gave you slivers of meat at the station. Had a dirty spoon at my table when seated. Got seated in the small room instead of out in the nice open space with the indoor greenhouse. Disappointed to say the least. read more

My family and I were fortunate to stumble into the lunch hour service just after the opening rush! This buffet-style restaurant opens and closes for breakfast lunch and dinner so plan accordingly, and offers a variety of food options to satisfy the palette of the course. Located in the middle of the Resort, we ate in this beautifully designed restaurant under the dome. Our lunch hour's menu was Italian, so we had a plethora of options starting with breads and salads, anti-pasta meats cheeses and olives, pastas with chicken parm or eggplant lasagna, and finishing with cheesecakes, brownies, mousses etc. With a $25 price point of an all you can eat buffet, we were very impressed with the quality of food, the wonderful staff, and the amazing ambiance and view in the middle of the Resort. read more

The chacters were amazing & gave plenty of time for picture taking. The assorted decorated Trees activities & shows truly put you in the Christmas spirit. Girls especially enjoyed the snow tubing. It is a little pricey. read more

One of the best buffets! We love the simple layout yet delicious options(cheese and meat board.. ummm yum!!) the desserts were so tasty too! I don't even like Key Lime and that was my favorite!!

Had dinner with my family at Villa de Flora and it was great! Make sure you have reservations! It can get very busy, esp with all the conferences! The price for dinner is $45/pp. It includes soda, coffee, etc. Just not alcohol. The breads, cheeses, spreads, cous cous, salads.. great way to start the meal! I tried the Moroccan chicken, rice, salmon and potatoes and they all were great. There were several other options available but every time I went to try it they were out. The dessert buffet is great, but here is my one compliant. Sooooo many kids were just reaching their hands and grabbing desserts. Unattended and not using the tongs. I think there should be a certain rule that under 10yo or so a parent should accompany the child to the buffet. I will definitely be back! read more

Villa de Flora - Small desserts, can taste them all. Key lime tart, lavender panna cotta. - Buffets Near Me - Kissimmee, Florida

The line was chaotic with a line for walk ins and a line for reservations. (We got smart and started booking it on opentable for the next day). They asked if you wanted to take a picture outside (looks like your kids are in the book Elf on the Shelf). Only issue is that when you're eating, they come around and ask if you want to buy it. Just give us a few minutes to settle down first. Sit in the atrium bc some of the tables inside didn't have much light and you feel a draft so it's cold! Buffet style so you can imagine what types of food they served. Sausage, bacon, assortment of pastry items and fruit. What was disguising was when people in line are grabbing sausage and placing it on their plate then decide they don't want it and put the sausage back. This is one of the reasons why I'm not a huge fan of buffets, that and people are coughing all over the food. I usually go to the omelette line where I met Timothy from Ohio (working on Christmas Day and the day after). He was really nice and didn't complain when oil splattered on his arm - sorry, that was my egg white omelette you were making. We joked about the bacon bc I was eating egg whites (healthy) and bacon (not healthy). I smelled bacon so I had to give it a try. They made it crispy just the way I liked it. You take a bite and it's so brittle it breaks in half. Love bacon and need to get back to running after my vacation is over. Also, the coffee wasn't that great or you can pay for a cup of coffee at the coffee shop for a huge mark up. They had a character dining set up every day and people complained so much that our last breakfast was switched to MOOR if you didn't want a character dining experience. Seeing Elf on the Shelf everyday wasn't worth the added cost. Even though breakfast was included with our room, they mentioned we had to come between 6:30-8. Do you think our kids can wake up that early? Nope, plus we're an hour behind so our kids were waking up an hour later. read more

The food is always consistently good, prepared perfectly, and kept warm without overcooking. The desserts are delicious and perfectly sized to try several. Servers make sure your glass never goes empty. One of our all-time favorite restaurants! Provides an elegant setting amongst the lights and perfect weather in the atrium while giving a feeling of outdoor dining. read more
