Set in the Lake Nona Wave Hotel, Bacán isn’t your typical dining room. Full of energy and personality, the dramatic space dons warm wood, vivid colors, impossibly high ceilings and a luxurious banquette that runs down the middle. On the food side of things, there’s a contemporary menu that spans Central and South America, with a good dose of tropical influence. An expo robot that assists with service fits in nicely with the modern aesthetic.
Diners may sample small plates like pork belly and lobster tacos; or larger, signature dishes like the market fish with a grapefruit mojo. Dessert is worth saving room for, especially with such options as a banana tart finished with gold leaf or chocolate cake encased in a chocolate sphere that’s melted tableside.
