When Emeril’s Orlando closed last year, we just knew there had to be something big replacing it. Today, we finally got word that something BIG indeed is coming to CityWalk at Universal Orlando. BigFire will open with a large menu for huge appetites at CityWalk.
Bigfire will feature unique theming designed to make guests feel as though they have stepped into a grand lakeside lodge, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of summers spent by the water. The two-story venue will feature warm modern surroundings, from a cozy fireplace to cast iron and wood design elements mixed with nostalgic camp lanterns and oversized plaid blankets. As guests step onto the outside patio, they will be greeted with twinkling lights, comfortable seating and lawn games for the entire family to enjoy. And guests will be able to enjoy one of the most popular fireside treats– s’mores – which they will be able to prepare themselves right at their table.
At the heart of the venue will be a custom wood fire grill that will allow guests to see their meal being prepared from anywhere in the restaurant. And for the first time at Universal Orlando, each dish will be expertly paired with the perfect type of wood to bring out the smoky goodness in each bite. From Cherrywood to Pecanwood and more, the pairings will add bold flavors to the American classic dishes and unique entrees, including a signature bison burger, coffee, chili and cocoa rubbed top sirloin, delectable freshwater trout, mouth-watering smoked salads and more.
BigFire is the latest addition to the amazing CityWalk line up, which includes unique fare like Toothsome Chocolate Emporium, Voodoo Donuts, Cowfish and more. The brand new restaurant will open later this summer at Universal’s CityWalk.
