I know it is hard...list top five

[IloveWINNIEthePOOH]

If you HAD to choose only ONE restaurant to eat at, where would it be? Would you eat breakfast, lunch or dinner?

I know it all depends on what type of meal you like (character, fancy, etc) but I'm just trying to figure out the "non-missers" for our "in-the-planning" trip! Thanks!!

If you would also like to put in a second choice, that would be great too!!:teeth:

!!!!!Making a change!!!

Now, list your top five (or less)! I realize it is too hard for people to list two or three, so post the top 5 (or up to five!) :Pinkbounc

[DanaHesson]

Hollywood Brown Derby... YUMMY
The Crystal Palace... Yummy and POOH

[tarheelmjfan]

1. Artist Point - dinner
2. Les Chefs de France - dinner (part of the mystique with this restaurant is the electric atmosphere in WS at night :) )


:bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc

[Kae]

It would be lunch & it would Brown Derby. Cobb Salad, Watermelon Martini & grapefruit Cake.

Kae

[luvsTink]

Because of our kids...
Chef Mickeys for dinner

[MissionMouse]

Les Chef de France - Lunch or Dinner, prefer Dinner though
California Grill - Dinner

[oogieboogie]

'Ohana dinner
Le Cellier lunch/dinner

[paigevz]

Chef Mickey's and Crystal Palace...........so nice to not have to stand in line for the characters......................always fun!

[MrBelding]

Another vote for Ohana!

[Mickeyhugger]

Sorry, cannot pick just one. It's a tie between Hollywood Brown Derby for cobb salad lunch or Chef Mickey's for dinner. We do both each trip to Disney.:teeth:

[sha_lyn]

Oh man it is hard to pick just one.
It would have to be either Boma or 'Ohana but I can't pick between the 2.

[CoolDisneyCat]

I am picking 2 also..

Spoodle's
Boma

and if I could pick a 3rd, it would be Yachtsman Steakhouse.:D

[pampam]

Marakesh for lunch, Hoop de Doo for dinner

[swilphil]

Crystal Palace for breakfast.

[DISNEYBIGGDOGG]

Le Cellier and Boma's

[cmonroe]

[beccasmom]

Not to be missed: Boma - Breakfast

[AlwaysAPrincess]

California Grill for dinner.
Another vote for O'hana

[lmhall2000]

Lunch at the castle...just charming and yummy

Liberty Tavern dinner character meal....best character interaction of any meal deals..

Tara

[IloveWINNIEthePOOH]

Thanks so much for all of the wonderful replies!! :sunny:

[Daisy Duck 5]

beaches and cream for lunch, afternoon snack or supper

[DisneyWorld Delight]

The Plaza in MK - we eat there at least twice every trip. Good sandwiches and Ice Cream Sundays for dessert!!!:mickeybar

[airplane]

Ohana for dinner

[Stiff]

Id get the lamb at marrakesh

[wintergreen]

Jiko!

[tlev]

Fulton's Crab House at DTD !

[Jenn Lynn]

50's Prime Time Cafe
California Grill

[dash]

CG for dinner!

[miko]

For the food-
Kona for breakfast (Tonga toast)
Le Cellier for lunch
Citricos for dinner

For fun-
Chek Mickeys for breakfast
Crystal Palace for lunch
ohanas for dinner

[ahutton]

We have a things we do every trip, and things we always plan for our upcoming trips.

Lunch or Dinner at Teppanyaki in Japan - at least once, every time.

Other favorites:
Dinner at Garden Grill
Any meal at Olivia's - often done carry out so we can eat at the pool
Breakfast at Spoodles

[MauraAndIainsDad]

Dinner at BlueZoo - one of the two best meals I've had this year!

[brandont]

Wolfgang Puck's - the dining room (dtd) food and service is amazing, but very expensive

Fish and Chips in UK are a must

[Mymatisse]

If I had to pick just one I think it would probably be Jiko for dinner. I would have the filet with mac and cheese and a nice red wine with Pistascio creme brulee for desert. YUM :)

[Goofyzgurl]

Crystal Palace

[queenmichelle]

50's Prime Time Cafe. Drool!!!:bounce:

[Jasminesmommy]

Breakfast- CRT

Lunch- Nine Dragon

Dinner-- Ohana

Ohana though is my favorite

[leighmidd]

For my husband -- It would have to be Biergarten

For myself -- Definitely Cinderella's Royal Table for lunch....I just love eating there for the atmosphere but the food ain't so bad either!

I'm getting the Disney shakes! I don't know if I'll last another 27 days! :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

[2angelsinheaven]

I've got two first places.... Boma's and Ohana's. Wonderful!
Ohana's is more of a celebration restraunt for us, we celebrate all our B-days, anniversaries, etc there since it's beautiful to watch WISHES from the large glass windows in the restraunt. Boma's is more of an experience in dining, so many flavors, sounds, it's pretty neat, but not a restraunt I could see making into a more formal dinner.

[Miss Inga Depointe]

Although I think the California Grill is the best restaurant, if I could only go to one at , it would be a more Disney type theming (although it's fun to look out over the MK).

This would change from day to day (more likely hour by hour:p ) but I'm going to go with either San Angel in Mexico or Biergarten in Germany. I feel like I'm on a ride in those restaurants!!!:teeth:

[DisneyMomx7]

Hollywood Brown Derby and 1900 Park Fare for Cinderella's Royal Gala. BUt then I think what about Ohana's, what about The Castle for breakfast, etc. It's way to hard to only pick two!

[cworld]

Ohana for sure.

[MAC3]

Ours is the Prime Time.

[Tink n Poohbear]

I love this post! After reading all the votes for Ohana, we'll definitely have to try that next time. I've been trying to think of a place for hubby's birthday, so now it's settled.

Our favorite is Garden Grill for lunch which is unfortunately closed right now.

[Alysa]

I know, I know, you said one but I picked only one dinner for each park or for a non-park day, plus one tea and one breakfast...

Cinderella's for Dinner MK
Chefs de France for dinner Epcot
Prime Time for dinner MGM
Victoria and Alberts for dinner GF

Crystal Palace for Breakfast MK

Afternoon Tea at Grand Floridian for Tea time GF

That said, Le Cellier, Citricos, Marrakesh, Roaring Forks and the Luau are still on the list of places to go.

Bon Appetite!

[PamNC]

Yummmmmy.

PamNC

[IloveWINNIEthePOOH]

Just giving a bump! Now that I figured out about the new Dining Experience, I will be eating at more restaurants!

REMEMBER::: It doesn't have to be just one! You can list 2-3 or more if you'd like!! :jumping4:

Thanks, again, for all the previaous responses!!! :Pinkbounc :jumping4:

[eeyore0062]

Wow, that really isn't an easy one.
My 1st choice: The Yachtsman Steakhouse at the Yacht Club (bring money, this one isn't cheap)
2nd choice: Alfredos (also pricey, but if that is a concern, try their lunch menu)

Who says I'm a Cheap date? ;)

[jimmytammy]

Ohanas for Dinner....1st choice
Le Cellier.....2nd choice

Getting ready to try Boma and LTT....hope to add either one of these to the list

[Aunt Cawa]

Concourse Steakhouse - breakfast and dinner!

[Muffy]

LeCellier for lunch
Jiko for dinner

[addicted_to_WDW]

LTT for lunch. It's a family tradition.

[Beth8266]

CRT is a tradition. And I love it to boot!!

[PrincessCandaceMarie]

Geez what a hard question!

Okay, lunch would be Brown Derby and for sure a key lime martini and the blueberry creme brulee

And then I'd have to say Fulton's and for sure get the cracked crab and milk chocolate creme brulee......

Yeah, I'm not a cheap date, but it's all good.....

[F1Julie]

#1 - Boma for dinner
#2 - Ohana for dinner

For character meals, my first choice is dinner at Garden Grill and for breakfast 1900 Park Fare.

[ead79]

1. Artist Point for dinner. Their food and service are truly outstanding, not to mention how incredible the cobbler is!

2. Le Cellier for lunch. The cheese soup is incredible (especially with the pretzel bread), and I love their sirloin burger. Yum!

[erikthewise]

I'd pick Kona Cafe because it's open for all three meals, so I wouldn't have to miss any of them :teeth:. Plus I'd have to stay at the Polynesian if I were eating all my meals there, right?

[phawley]

ARtist POint for dinner--Yum!

[Alysa]

Hi IloveWINNEthePOOH,
