A Culinary Journey Through Lake Nona Wave Hotel

Orlando’s Lake Nona Wave Hotel isn’t just a marvel of modern design and hospitality—it’s fast becoming a serious culinary destination. With two MICHELIN-recommended restaurants under its roof—Nami and Bacán—and the hotel itself recently recognized with one MICHELIN Key, distinction signals a property that stands out for its unique character, exceptional service, and unforgettable guest experience. It’s an honor shared by only a select few hotels—and a promise to travelers that their stay will be anything but ordinary.

Nami: Where Japanese Precision Meets Modern Flair

Step into Nami, and you’re immediately transported to a sleek, seductive space where artistry is served on every plate. Helmed by Executive Chef Freddy Money, Nami elevates Japanese cuisine with a modern edge—think nigiri crafted with obsessive attention to detail, signature cocktails infused with yuzu and matcha, and wagyu that melts like butter.

Start with the Nami Omakase, a curated tasting journey that allows the chef to surprise and delight you with the day's freshest ingredients. Add a sake pairing and you’re in for an unforgettable evening.

Bacán: Latin-Inspired, Artfully Executed

Bacán offers an entirely different but equally stunning culinary experience, steps away. Here, vibrant Latin flavors are elevated with thoughtful technique and refined presentation. The open-kitchen concept allows guests to witness the action as it unfolds—flames, sears, and sizzles setting the stage for a meal that’s as theatrical as it is delicious.

Signature dishes like the Short Rib Arepa or Cuban-Spiced Duck Breast are favorites for good reason—bold, layered, and soul-satisfying. Pair it with a handcrafted cocktail or a bottle from their carefully curated wine list, and you’ll have a dinner that lingers long after the last bite.

More Than a Meal—It’s a Destination

Dining at Nami and Bacán isn’t just about great food but a sense of place. Both restaurants embrace the Lake Nona Wave’s Hotel ethos of innovation, creativity, and wellness.
