Orlando, FL – Helena Modern Riviera, a coastal-chic dining establishment located at 8441 International Drive within ICON Park, is participating in Orlando’s Magical Dining event, offering a unique dining experience until September 30th. Guests can indulge in a three-course prix-fixe menu priced at either $40 or $60 per person, with a portion of the proceeds supporting local charities through The Mustard Seed of Central Florida.
The Magical Dining promotion, which runs from August 16 to September 30, allows diners to choose dishes inspired by the French Riviera, incorporating influences from Italy, France, and Spain. For an additional charge, guests can upgrade to premium items such as shrimp, lobster tail, or skirt steak. Each meal offered contributes $1 from the $40 menu and $2 from the $60 menu to benefit those in need in the community.
In addition to exquisite meals, Helena Modern Riviera offers a vibrant atmosphere designed for relaxation and enjoyment of al fresco dining. To enhance the dining experience, live entertainment is present several nights a week, featuring themed events that include Havana, Ibiza, and Marrakech nights.
Special events are also scheduled for October 4. Attendees can enjoy a Happy Hour at ICON Park from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, followed by Marrakech Nights at Helena Modern Riviera from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. These evenings will showcase traditional Moroccan music and captivating belly dancing performances. Additionally, DJ Marc Sparcs will take the stage at Tin Roof Orlando from 9:00 PM to 11:59 PM, ensuring a night filled with diverse entertainment.
Helena Modern Riviera is strategically located within ICON Park, a major entertainment hub that attracts millions of visitors each year.
