Top 5 Restaraunts on Disney Property - Your Opinion

[therealgoofy]

We're headed to Disney in a couple of months and I haven't even begun to look at all my restaraunt options yet. I was just wondering if people would post their TOP 5 and what type of food is. I know everyone will have different opions, but likely the really great restaurants will be repeated.

The rules are that it has to be under $100 for two people and that includes a beer or two or a house glass of wine. I'm a seafood freak myself, so we definitley want to hit a seafood restaraunt at least once. Oh, and the meal is Dinner.

Post away,

My family's top restaurants are:

BOMAs
LeCellier

Liberty Tree Tavern (colonial/traditional American)

Those are just my top 3 :)

[TDC Nala]

1. BOMA
2. California Grill
3. Jiko
4. Hollywood Brown Derby

4: Chefs de France

[AspiringCindy]

1. Chefs de France
2. LeCellier
3. California Grill
4. Marrakesh
5. Cinderella's Castle

[Krissalee]

[Penny2]

IMHO

In random order:

Chefs de France
California Grill
Fulton's Crabhouse
Liberty Tree Tavern
Alfredo's

[DisneyCP2002]

My top five are:

Prime Time 50's Cafe
Resturant Akershus
Garden Grille
Crystal Palace
Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe(Just because of the sheer variety they offer)

[Eeyore2U]

Shula's
Ohanas
Brown Derby
Le Cellier
ESPN

[Erikarate]

Mitch, of course I knew you'd have Shulas on there...:p , haven't been yet though...

My top five are:

California Grill (in a league of its own...my favorite)
Artist Point
Le Cellier
Wolfgang Puck Cafe (excellent sushi)
Brown Derby (the best cobb I've ever had)

Runners up:
Citricos (excellent meal, really this place is tied for fourth w/ WPC and HBD!!!)
Jiko (unique food, great atmosphere)
Plaza Restaurant (great sandwiches)
Beaches and Cream (for ice cream)

[dznyntnh]

Grand Floridian Cafe
Concourse Steakhouse
Boatwrights
Alfredo's
Sci-Fi Dine In

And my favorite 'chain' place is House of Blues:p

[Fantasia Sam]

California Grill
Fultons
Cape May Cafe
Flying Fish
Cap'n Jacks

These are all my favs that include seafood - CG and FF can be a little pricier. Cape May and Cap'n jacks are more middle of the range and Fultons is just to die for, for seafood IMHO ;)

[Muffy]

LeCellier
Calif Grill
Ohanas
Garden Grille
Brown Derby

[Tinkerbelle739]

Our favorites:

1. Narcoosees (GF)
2. OHana (Poly)
3. Citricos (GF)
4. Coral Reef (Epcot)
5. 1900 Park Faire (GF)

Looking at this list I guess you can tell we are big fans of the GF!!



Too many times to count before that!
GF - 11/00
POR - 10/03

Hoping everyone has a "magical" day!:wave:

[Mrs. Snowgod]

1. California Grill
2. House of Blues (LOVE the Jamalaya!)
3. Rose & Crown
4. Tempura Kiku
5. Boma

#s 3, 4 & 5 are not necessarily in order of preference. They are each in a class alone, totally different but equally wonderful.

Have fun choosing!

[BCV23]

California Grill....wonderful
Narcoossee's....great seafood
Citricos
Artist Point
Kona Cafe...yummy mahi mahi

We're monorail resort fans so I guess are choices are skewed that way. Flying Fish gets very good reviews so we'll have to get over there!

BTW, Grand Floridian Cafe is not open for dinner these days. It's great for lunch or breakfast though.

V&A is the best but won't meet your criteria!

[jwfla422]

1. Artist's Point (our favorite)-amazing cedar plank salmon (excellent service)
2. O'Hana-excellent food (service varies though)
3. Teppanyakki in Japan in EPCOT
4. Gulliver's (at the Swan)
5. Garden Grille at the Land in EPCOT

[lulubelle]

I would say...
Ohana's
California Grille
Captain Jacks
Rainforest Cafe (I know, a lot of people will disagree but we love every item we have had there)
Kona Cafe (can you tell we have stayed at the Poly?)

Have a wonderful vacation
:p

[Belle5]

Boma
Fulton's
(tie) Liberty Tree Tavern (lunch)/ San Angel
(tie) Teppanyaki/ Cindy's (dinner)
(tie) Kona (desserts win)/ Shutters (appetizers and entree win)

Can so many others be wrong? Surely not! There are some places we've been that always seem to make the top 5 lists but we just weren't as impressed. Need to retry :

[Alice28]

Glad to see California Grill a favorite- I am making a PS for it tomorrow. We wanted to go last time but didn't make it.

We really enjoyed Cape May Cafe. Lots of seafood (clams, mussels, salmon, clam chowder) & it's all you care to eat. Plus landlubbers options and great desserts.

Also have to give thumbs up to O'hana & Shula's.

[JesseTravels]

1. Hollywood Brown Derby (that cobb salad is just the best....all around great food here)
2. French bistro (expensive but so good)
3. Pecos Bills (can't beat that free fixin's bar........sauteed mushrooms, cheese for your fries........a deal at Disney)
4. Flying Fish

My #5 will be a place we ate in Orlando, non Disney but a steak place called Charlies. Just melt in your mouth steaks w/blue cheese on top. Yum.

[TinaS]

1. California Grill
2. Jiko
3. Citricos
4. Artist Point
5. Flying Fish

One thing about all of the restaurants is that you can get fresh seafood or a steak.

Some of the restaurants that I would like to try are:

1. Shula's
2. Yachtsman Steakhouse
3. Le Cellier Steakhouse

What ever you choose, you will have a wonderful meal!

Chloesmom,
What did you order at Alfredos that was good? We haven't found anything good there but since I agree with your other restaurants (for the most part) I'm thinking we might have similar taste-- and I might like your Alfredo entree, too.

Erikarate, or anyone, could you describe Citricos? And do you think Jikos is worth the extra price vs. Boma, and why? I was going to ask what is Shulas, but glory be, the search function was up and I was able to read about it!

DH seconds your emotion on that Cobb salad :)

We never ate at AP, but we took the WL tour, saw the lovely restaurant, and tried their amazing cedar-planked salmon. I'm so excited we have all these places to try on our next trip!

I know this isn't a dinner, but one place we are definitely going back to is the House of Blues Gospel Brunch. I hope the second time is as amazing as the first was!

Cheers :)

[Dana49]

Here's our top "5":

Artist Point
Citrico's
California Grill
House of Blues
Chefs de France (lunch)

[jabbo87]

1. Flying Fish
2. Ohana
3. Chefs de France
4. Narcoosee's
5. Le Cellier

[Lcm2108]

Favorite 5, in no particular order:

Crystal Palace (MK)
Cape May (Beachclub)
O'Hana (Poly)
Whispering Canyon (WL)
Akkershus (Epcot)

Can't wait to eat at these places. We go in 17 more days!!!

[saturday97]

In no order:

California Grill
Shula's
Boma
Beaches N' Cream (shakes are amazing! hamburgers are bliss!)
Donald's Breakfastasaurus


(Sunrise Safari breakfast was probably my favorite, but because it's not open to everyone I left it off the main list-- if you get the opportunity, it's a MUST!!)

[x5x5x5x5x5]

Not nec. in this order:

Jiko
Boma
Le Cellier
Bistro de Paris
California Grill

I think Boma is the best value. It is a buffet - but probably unlike any buffet you've ever had. Jiko is in the AKL as well but a bit more refined than Boma - and delectable. The AKL by the way is gorgeous and worth a visit regardless of whether you dine there or not. Bistro is a bit expensive but you can still dine there for 100 if you don't order a bottle of wine or lots of courses - and it's delicious if you like French. Le Cellier has lovely steaks and a romantic atmosphere. California Grill is delightful - creative menu - continental I suppose is how you'd classify it - and the views are outstanding. Wow, only five huh . . . seems like I could go on and on.

[princessariel]

Ohana in the Polynesian

Whispering Canyon in Wilderness Lodge

50's Primetime Cafe in MGM

Boma in Animal Kingdom Lodge

Liberty Tree Tavern in Magic Kingdom

<font color=red>I may be mistaking but I think that there is no sale of alcohol in the Magic Kingdom. So if you drink beer or wine with your meals, you may not want to go to Liberty Tree Tavern. But all the others we enjoy do sell alcohol.</font>

[mikesplash]

Our favorites are:

Artist Point
Chefs de France
La Cellier
Brown Derby
Port a Bello

[SCCaguioa]

I have setup poll for the top $$$$ restaurants at da World...take a look

[eeyore0062]

Here are my Top 5:

Narcoossee's
Le Cellier
50's Prime Time Cafe (not fancy, but really good!)
Cape May Cafe Clam Bake (in our opinion, the best value on property)
Fulton's

[mikesmom88]

Here are my family's favorites:

Cape May Clambake
Concourse Steakhoue
Olivia's Cafe
Chek Mickey's
Beaches and Cream

Enjoy!!!

[therealgoofy]

I posted this thinking that I would get only a few replies, but I've gotten over 50. You guys are amazing.

So far, I'm thinking California Grille, Boma, and Shula's are a must.

I still have some whittling down to do on the other one's and a lot more money to save.
