Every visit to Orlando's has been fantastic for us! The food is outstanding and the service can't beat. In the summer, dinner on the patio, people watching and drinking wine is one of my favourite things to do. A must try at Orlando's is the private stock port...yum!
Orlando's has been a favourite of ours for many years. The meals are excellent, we always just let Arnold cook whatever seafood is fresh that day. Have never been disappointed. Unfortunately, it has closed as of Oct. 2014, will follow Arnold to any other establishment he decides to open.
Loved the fried shrimp and fresh fish of the day.
Everthing was prepared and presented very nicely.
Service was really good and the prices are very reasonable
for fish.
We will return one day soon.
I'm kind of shocked that this restaurant is rated number 1. At the end of my meal I felt like I had had a nice wedding dinner. Good potatoes and meat, nice salad but really nothing exceptional. We had some steak that was super undercooked and chewy. The seafood was good, and the bread they served before the meal was... more
I took my mom out for a special bday dinner. This was anything but that. It began with not having the Alaskan king crab I had specifically called in advance to confirm. We then waited 1.5 hr with no service whatsoever only to be served mediocre pasta which we did not order or want. The owner was notified before, day of, and upon seating our request for king crab. Obviously pasta is not king... more
We have dined there several times. The food is excellent. Although it is known for seafood, my son had a steak that was beautiful, tender and delicious.
Everywhere we travel..... weather its been Overseas, Coast to Coast in Canada, Down South USA or further South Carribean we have always searched or used Trip Advisor to highlight sites and sounds we may want to entertain. It has assisted us in making our final decision on destinations when we've been presented with multiple options. And fortunately this tool has... more
This place is one of my top favourite restaurants! I've went to this restaurant several times already and it is amazing as always! Great food, great service, great ambiance, and the price is just right for the quality and service they provide. Great restaurant!
My husband and I were the first to arrive on a week night and right from the moment we stepped in we were made to feel right at home. We got unbelievable service from both our waiter and the... more
Nice restaurant for a romantic meal. Had a date night with my boy friend at this restaurant, it was my 3rd time here and his 1st. We both enjoyed the meal, we pick the chef's special and it was... more
Took friends out for their anniversay. Excellent menu, staff very knowledgable and courteous.
Food was well prepared and presented beautifully. Excellent wine list. Will definately return.
each time I have gone you can always count on the food and service as top notch, you really don't need the menu, just say you are there for the food, let them bring out the house specialties and enjoy the ambience of Corydon
This place has a big Tripadvisor sign near their entrance suggesting that they've been ranked the city's "number-one restaurant." Don't believe it. As the *real* reviews on Urbanspoon and elsewhere make clear, this place is passable at best. Yes, it's been a long-time fixture on the Corydon Avenue restaurant circuit, but it's anything but excellent. If you value honest business practices, dine... more
I been here a few times & You still don't get what you pay for at this restaurant. Salad was loaded with salt & uneatable. Appetizers were a joke & my main coarse was overcooked & not sure if they didn't have enough ingredients but the cook kept pushing the chefs special after I told him I didn't want that. Place is dark & grimy & pricy. Not impressed!!! So many other great restaurants could be... more
I'm a foodie and have a cultured palette having grown up in Toronto. So when I travel on business I am often disappointed. Not this time. I was craving an authentic Portuguese seafood experience and this restaurant truly delivered. I highly recommend the chefs specialty where chef Orlando surprises you with dishes. He personally asks you if there is something... more
Last night we were again privileged to share with friends another uniquely prepared, delicious sea food medley dinner which started with natural smoked goldeye with a delicate cartelized onion relish WoW.
This was followed with a fresh garden salad drizzled with a basil hinted olive oil dressing.
The, piece de resistance, main course was a whole baked Rock Fish, juicy,...

one of the best dinners I've had in a while, the pictures basically speak for themselves. Estevao and Ernaldo are both kind and generous to their guests" and very knowledgeable about their food, and wine. They even let me have items that were not included in their specials of the month. The steak suggested was amazing, it was tender ,... more
The food was very good. The service was a bit slow but the food quality was worth the wait. There was a good selection of fish and seafood. The cook indicated that he was short by one staff member. I recommend this restaurant if you are not in a rush.
We went with friends for an evening out. Was raining out so we had to eat inside but it was warm quaint, and very relaxing. We had ordered drinks and they were not cheap with the vodka. Was nice to get an actual drink instead of mix.
We had the chefs special based on his recommendation with a twist (we...

I've wanted to try Orlando's for years, so my wife took me there for our anniversary on Saturday.
Ever since my first visit to Orlando's it has been one of my favorites in Winnipeg. The personalized service and great food always have me wanting to come back over & over again! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Winnipeg! Wouldn't change a thing!
The food was excellent and the service was impeccable. We met there with family members whom we had not seen for a few years and everyone found the food fantastic. We will be dining there again soon. Such a great restaurant!
I have been a loyal diner of this chef's various restaurants for the past 40 years, while I went out wanting my usual steak (which I did not get) I was still more than satisfied with the other offerings from land and sea. On my return, I will be having a steak! If you have ever had one here, you... more
Summer is so late in arriving we were thrilled that Monday night was warm and no mosquitoes. we walked to Corydon and decided to Dine at Orlando's . The device was wonderful , the wine the water bread . Arno was there and asa very special treat he made us the most wonderful Dinner. The atmosphere here is wonderful my... more
The four of us went for dinner and told the waiter that we were hungry, not in a hurry and could eat anything. We were brought a 6 course meal that included fresh fish, beef, appetizer, soup, salad and desert. Wonderful flavours and not overbearing.
Small place though so make sure you reserve. It's worth it!!!
This place probably doesn't have amazing ratings because of the style of restaurant experience it gives you. Go here if you want a small, family-run, feel, and most importantly, are not in a rush. You never feel like you are waiting but If you do the chef special which is the best way to go, you get about 4 or 5 courses. If you are in good company and want to just enjoy a relaxing and very... more
I think part of the reason why the chef's special was so delicious has to do with how there's perfectly small portions of everything to let you sample prawns, fish, steak, etc! Although they might seem small, after going through all the appetizers and wide selection of seafood I felt happily content and full. The seasonings were refreshing, for one... more
We had such a great time at Orland's. The food and service was excellent! The chef told us what to have and it was awesome!
The chef encouraged us to do the Chef's special as it is the best value and guaranteed to be delicious. He then surveyed all of us for food preferences, dislikes, and allergies. My dairy free platter of fish, steak, chicken (best ever) and vegetables was completely dairy free and quite tasty.
Orlando's is a small restaurant tucked under some shops...

It has been a while since I last ate at Orlando's but it was as I remembered......delicious. The only negative for me was no Portuguese red wine on the menu! Besides that, service was great, good explanation of all the appetizers and entrees as they came out and of course, delicious food.
My spouse and I were looking for a new restaurant to try out in Winnipeg so we looked through tripadvisor and saw Orlando's had 85 out of 100 reviews at 5 out of 5. We thought can't go wrong.
We made a dinner reservation for 9pm and upon arrival were seated. Looking around the decor appears to be more wallmart,...

I ate here about a week ago and had the chef's special. Everything about the experience was executed wonderfully. Food very delicious and presented well, service was attentive yet unobtrusive. I will definitely be back.
A couple of my friends and I went there for dinner and were all super impressed. The server was excellent as well as the owner. Very personable and attentive to our needs. The food was excellent and well spaced out. We started with bread, then appetizers, then a delicious soup, and then the meal. All in all, great service, great... more
The most amazing dinner I've ever had. Service was excellent, ambience was romantic and personal. I loved that the chef personally addressed our table before, during, and after dinner. Definitely a place to spend an evening.
I went to Orlando's recently with my boyfriend and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our server was excellent and checked on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed and to clear away our plates as soon as we finished.
The food was fantastic. The prawns in lobster sauce and the fillet mignon were unbelievable. The...

The food is excellent! We went later in the evening and were the last table to leave. We didn't feel rushed at all. The service was amazing and the nice dark atmosphere made for a great date.
I frequently travel to Winnipeg on business, and with dozens of restaurants in the Corydon area of Winnipeg to choose from, I continue to seek out Orlando's as my first choice as a dining destination. The service is always excellent, with friendly and experienced staff guiding you to a dining delight. I have yet to order from the menu, always... more
I a young student recently brought my girlfriend to Orlando' s. I have been to many restaurants but never have had such a great experience! From service, the waiter was great always from checking up and clearing plates to explaining which each dish contained. This went well with the chef making sure we had enough to eat and making our... more
We have been a follower of Arnaldo's exquisite cuisine long before the famous Orlando's restaurant. Every experience is better than the time before. There is an amazing difference when the owner is head chef in his kitchen. Always fresh food and something different every time even after all these years! Friendly atmosphere, great service and we seem to meet new... more
Service here is top notch and makes you feel welcome and like at home. Food was great and well prepared one of the finest Gems in winnipeg. Everything we had was excellent!
Kudos to Orlandos Seafood
Orlando's is postively the best restaurant that I have been..Arnaldo has a way of making you feel as though you and your party are the only people in the restaurant...the food, and service is impeccable. Make sure you ask for Arnaldo's wine selections with your meal. He knows food and wines and how to pari them together. Orlando's is a... more
I was at Orlando's a couple of evenings ago, as I frequent this gem whenever possible. As usual I left myself in Chef Arnaldo's capable hands, but asked that he surprise me. Chef said that if I was not in a hurry he would prepare his stuffed squid, a dish I have not previously tried. While I confess to being... more
Had to write a review after my last visit to Orlando's! You leave this dining experience feeling like you've spent a wonderful evening with friends. The staff is attentive without being intrusive. Leave it to Arnold, chef and owner, and you're never disappointed. We ordered the Chef's special. After the crusty Italian bread served with a dipping oil, our server... more
The food was amazing! The service was excellent. He was very knowledgable about everything on the and he was very helpful. The atmosphere was nice as well. The pricing was a little high but it was well worth it!
It is Wednesday April 14th and we find ourselves once more at our favorite unique Orlando's.
Tonight we are treated to a Portuguese family recipe STUFFED SQUID.
What a delight, such imagination in its presentation and indescribable flavor in its content.
See attached photo.
We continue to be feasted by this remarkable little place on Corydon.
Congrats chef Arnaldo.
I ate at Orlandos just a few weeks ago with my best friend and I definitely was not disappointed! We had heard amazing things about the chef, Arnold, and the great service there and decided it was time to check it out! When we go there we were seated right away and had glasses of ice cold water ready at... more
Recently girlfriends and I shared a wonderful evening at Orlando's Seafood Grill. We felt welcomed and relaxed and enjoyed the dishes specifically prepared for us. Arnaldo delighted us with thoughtful presentation and lovely of food. I can't wait to go back!
We had a great experience at Orlando's, we where having a girls night out, we wanted a special evening and we got one. Our coats where hung for us, then we where seated, the server helped us pick our wine. Everything was so profesional, couldn't have asked for better service. We talked to the chef and ordered the chef special,... more
We returned from another wonderful dining experience at this fine establishment. The food is simply amazing, and I can not imagine who would have a bad word to say about this place. This was our 3rd visit, and I have always relied on the Chef's special as it does not disappoint. You get to try so many different types of... more
Warm and welcoming atmosphere and staff. Intimate, cozy surroundings--- mirrored walls give the impression of larger quarters. We were warmly greeted by Estavao who took our coats and hung them up. Then Arnaldo, the owner, offered to prepare his special menu consisting of an appetizer, soup, and sampler plate (sole, chicken leg, beef and prawn with potato and vegetable).
First...

I went to Winnipeg last December and a friend took us to Orlando's when we where ready to order the owner mr. Arnaldo came to our table and introduce himself learning that we were Portuguese too, and ask if we let him prepare what ever he want for our diner. I confess I was a little septic because I'm very... more
My wife and I have enjoyed many great meals. Very good food with excellent presentation! Guaranteed to enjoy your dinner!
I'm not sure we're talking about the same place here. Friends took me to Orlando's for my
birthday. The place was pretty much empty. When we were ready to order, Orlando insited we leave it up to him, big mistake. Leaving it up to him meant to use up whatever leftovers he had in the fridge. Everything was lukewarm, portions...

bbq squed shremp and fesh stew were excellent.Reb steak was one of the beste i ever had.Chef Arnaldo also likes to surprise you weth all kend of new dishes that he keps inventeng.Another entree was three bbq fish with olive oil and lemon.Dessert and port wine were very good
Been coming to this place for a couple years now and enjoyed every meal. It's always a delight. I usually just let the chef take care of us and he never disappoints. Most of the food he prepares it's his own creation so it's always something new that you wouldn't see anywhere else. It's refreshing to have a restaurant like... more
Outstanding seafood and always fresh and healthy selections. Arnaldo always seems to know exactly what we love to have every time. Orlando's is an all time favorite for us!
Went there tonight with my wife and we both really enjoyed the whole evening. Waiter was friendly and helpful, bread was great, appetizers where great and the main course was amazing! We both had the Chef's special and recommend that to anyone eating here.
This is a really good place for people that like seafood. After we were seated we were greated by our server and chef! He basically described this 3 course meal that he was gonna make for us and we were sold on that! Didnt even look at the menu. Scallops were perfectly cooked... Great service good food.
Sorry didn't get a chance to eat here prices are a little higher than quoted on Urbanspoon. We had are teenagers with us ,$28 for pasta that was the cheapest entre Im not slamming this place but I think its above me the staff was cool about it and the waiter came out and said he would make anything the kids would like.. Maybe next time just me and the wife.... more
The platter with a little bit of everything is amazing! U get different types of steak and seafood so u don't get sick of eating the same thing. And also great service!
The decor has changed a lot from my last visit years ago. Very dim lighting, black walls with white crown moldings and a semi-open kitchen in the back. The mirrors are still on the right wall to distort your view of the room; it's a very tiny narrow place if not for those mirrors. There's probably about 8-10 tables with varying number of seats.The owner spoke to us and convinced us that the $35... more
The place is small and nondescript, but the seafood is fantastic. Well worth it.
We tried Orlando’s for the first time this week after reading Marion Warhaft’s review. It was excellent and definately deserving of the rating. We decided to try the rib steak and the filet mignon, both were wonderful and flavorful. While we were a bit leary of the side dishes we found them to be great, the house salad was very good with a vinagrette type of dressing and the lobster bisque was... more
Following the advice of columnist Marion Warhaft (column found here www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/col..., we decided to sample this restaurant.
Never before in my life have I ever been more disappointed or misled about the quality of a restaurant until now. Even while reading her review, which was sprinkled with slight...
more
The wife and I loved it! Leave it all in the hands of the caring staff. They took care of everything for us, including the menu. In lieu of ordering from said menu, our server provided us the “Signature Dinner” option, where the chef creates a three course (app., soup/salad, entree) menu for you. The entree had a little bit of everything, with fish, filet mignon, and a huge prawn. All of it was... more
