From France to Brazil, Ocala has fine dining covered. Cuisine has risen to peak popularity during the last decade with countless cooking shows and popular celebrity chefs. From elegant French dishes to prime steakhouse cuts, Ocala has it all.
Brazilian steakhouses are known for their endless servings of prime meats such as signature beef picanha, bacon-wrapped filet mignon, parmesan-crusted chicken legs, lamb chops, and seasoned beef sirloin. The salad bar is notorious for presenting almost any food item imaginable. The lively atmosphere and impeccable servers make dining in Ocala a special experience. Ipanema on S. Pine Avenue is an experience not to be forgotten.
Maintaining the same strict standards of the restaurants in France makes La Cuisine, located at 48 SW 1st Ave., a destination. This place is the real deal. Escargot in garlic butter, frog legs, foie gras, imported cheeses… you’ll feel like you’re in Paris! Julia Child would approve of the Bourguignon Beef.
Being inland does not stop Mark’s Prime Steakhouse & Seafood from serving delicious seafood. Surf & turf is the way to go to have the best of both worlds. Adding the fresh catch of the day to the bone-in ribeye is a meal to remember for ages. Also, don’t skip appetizers; the Chateaubriand Carpaccio is a one-of-a-kind creation.
