City Food Hall announced less than a year ago its plans to open in Orlando. On Thursday, it revealed that it will open on Saturday and which vendors will be inside.
The timeline from construction to opening was quick, most likely due to it taking over the space held by the former food hall, Hall on the Yard.

The venue, located in Ivanhoe Village at 1412 Alden Road, closed after it was sued for breach of lease, owning nearly $250,000 in rent.
Meanwhile, Peter Rounce, the founder and CEO of City Food Hall previously told News 6 that he took note of what people want for the space.
“A lot of the feedback we got so far is they (want to) see engaging entertainment, they want a local vibe here,” Rounce said.
According to a news release, the space is roughly 12,000-square-feet and hosts four full-service bars, a private event space and the following vendors:
-
Eggdose — Some have hailed that this spot offers Orlando’s ‘best egg sandwich.’ It only offers breakfast sandwiches served stuffed in a brioche bun.
-
Ramen Takagi — This vendor has a location in Oviedo as well, and it has different menu items from gyoza, Japanese fried chicken, onigiri and several options of ramen.
-
Taglish — Some may remember this restaurant, as there were once three locations across Central Florida before they all closed in 2022. However, it is back! Some have raved that the Ube Horchata here is worth the trip alone. It also serves Philippines items such as lumpia, pork adobo rice bowls to pork BBQ skewers.

To add on, the second floor of the food hall will have a French restaurant, Chez Les Copains, led by Michelin-starred chef Mike Collantes. It will serve brunch on the weekends and dinner throughout the week, offering items such as steak tartare and bone marrow to caviar and shrimp cocktail.
Meanwhile, City Food Hall Orlando will also host different events throughout the week, such as karaoke, trivia and bingo, according to a news release.
City Food Hall also has three other Florida locations: in Destin, West Palm Beach and Gainesville, per its website.
“We’ve created a space where people can gather, explore global flavors and support passionate local talent — whether you’re grabbing brunch, cocktails, or enjoying live music,” Rounce said in a prepared statement.
