Jaleo celebrates 30th anniversary with a specially curated dinner

While Disney Springs is a favorite Orlando dining destination, Jaleo invites diners to travel through Spanish delights. Whether guests order its iconic paella or prefer to sample a table full of tapas, the food experience is one to savor. As part of Jaleo’s 30th anniversary, the restaurant will host a special dinner on September 5.

Although many restaurants have stars, accolades, and celebrity chef backings, few have hit the 30 year mark. With locations across several cities, Jaleo has become one of Jose Andres’ signature restaurants. Offering a taste of Spanish delicacies, the food is as vibrant as the atmosphere.

The Disney Springs Jaleo restaurant is the largest one of the concept. The two-story restaurant with its open kitchen blends dining sophistication with exuberance. Whether guests sit at an intimate table for two or a larger booth for a group, the food, cocktails, and conversation make for a memorable event.

For the special 30th anniversary dinner at Disney Springs, Jaleo is offering a prix-fix menu. Inspired by the chefs’ annual culinary tour through Spain with Chef Andres, Jaleo Disney Springs’ Chef, Kristoffer Anderson and Jaleo Chicago’s Chef, José Dávilla created this celebration of modern and classic tapas. The menu showcases favorite ingredients, special cooking techniques, and food trends. In addition, the chefs will share stories and insight throughout the dinner.
