Café Tu Tango

 

After you enjoy a fun-filled time at Icon Park, we recommend you head on over to one of Orlando’s most unique dining experiences! For more than 30 years, Café Tu Tu Tango has brought food, art, and fun to Orlando’s tourism corridor on International Drive. Soak in the bright and bustling ambiance full of bohemian vibes and life. Surrounded by local artists' art and sculptures, guests enjoy a wide array of expressive dishes that are as lively as the interior itself. 

We love specialties like Moroccan lamb meatballs, street corn, jalapeno mac and cheese, and many more bold fusions. Reserve a table here for a unique experience.

 

Icebar Orlando

 

After feasting on a delightful meal, head on over to a unique bar experience on International Drive. ICEBAR Orlando is a below-freezing bar that surrounds guests with ice (talk about refreshing). Allow the ICEBAR ice princess to guide you into a room featuring over 70 tons of hand-carved ice-like sculptures, seats, and shot glasses. Need to protect yourself from the cold? No worries!
