The Food Factory is a collection of smaller (what we call micro-restaurants) encompassing approximately 14,500 square feet of well-designed indoor, covered outdoor, and open-air courtyard spaces for fabulous food, drink, games, and entertainment. It consists of seven 800 sf micro-restaurants run by local chefs. Each micro-restaurant has its own full kitchen and menu reflecting imaginative and high caliber fast-fine dining offerings unlike a food hall. Kid friendly. Outside courtyards are dog-friendly!

The Food Factory, nestled in the heart of Oviedo at the Oviedo on the Park, is a creative culinary initiative by Michael Collard Properties (MCP), a distinguished commercial real estate development firm with over 25 years of experience. This unique food hub is designed as an experiential gathering space, hosting seven chef-owned micro-restaurants and The Factory Bar, an "industrial chic" craft cocktail bar, embodying MCP's vision of creating purposeful, interactive spaces that foster community engagement and offer an alternative to digital interaction. Through The Food Factory, MCP seeks to celebrate local culinary talent, encourage social connections, and contribute to the vibrant tapestry of Oviedo.

We call them “micro” because each is an 800 square foot restaurant with a full kitchen and its own seating, unlike a food hall with stalls, a commissary kitchen and warmed over food. Restrooms for the entire Collective are located next to The Factory Bar to give the micro-restaurants added kitchen space.

The rockets outside The Food Factory Bar serve as a vibrant tribute to our close connections with the University of Central Florida (UCF) and the iconic Space Coast. Located within a stone's throw of both, our establishment draws inspiration from the spirit of exploration and innovation that defines the area. These rockets symbolize our dedication to reaching new heights in culinary excellence and community gathering. Moreover, on select nights, our patio becomes the perfect spot for guests to witness the awe-inspiring rocket launches from Kennedy Space Center, making every visit to The Food Factory a potentially out-of-this-world experience.
