Ace Cafe hosting opening weekend May 19

Ace Cafe will start its engines with a grand opening weekend full of events starting May 19.

It’s been about three years since the London-based eatery first announced plans to bring its motor-themed concept to Orlando.

This is the first Ace Cafe to open in the United States. In its two-story main building, Ace Cafe Orlando will offer a full-service restaurant, two kitchens, four bars, a coffee bar, a communal counter, private dining rooms and more.
