Best Restaurant in Disney??? Looking for me and the Wife. - The DIS Discussion Forums

JimFitz · 01-23-2005, 08:01 PM

All,
What do you think is the best restaurant in Disney. Price is not an issue.

ducklite · 01-23-2005, 08:07 PM

Victoria and Alberts if you like very gourmet food and "white glove" service. Citrico or Jiko if you like excellent food and excellent polished service.

gotta agree w/ducklite. and add artist point at wilderness lodge. love jiko and artist point!

Boma's at the Animal Kingdom Lodge is also a very nice place to have breakfast before heading out for a day in Animal Kingdom..the problem is finding how to get there. :D

I'd go with the other posters and say Victoria and Alberts is the best bet. But, beware, it costs tons of $$$...well not literally...

Spoodles and the Flying Fish Cafe are both great places to eat at, you can find them at the Boardwalk.

Where is Citrico or Jiko?

SteamboatMickey · 01-23-2005, 09:08 PM

Citricos is in the Grand Floridian

Jiko is in the Animal Kingdom Lodge... (i think)

This website has some very good info on the restaraunts of WDW:

allearsnet.com

It has menus for the restaraunts too.

JimFitz · 01-23-2005, 09:33 PM

Thanks for the info folks.

eeyore0062 · 01-24-2005, 01:29 AM

Wow, WDW is FULL of good restaurants!

Our favorites thus far include:
Yachtsman
Narcoossee's
Alfredos
Le Cellier
Fulton's
Coral Reef
'Ohana
Kona Cafe
1900 Park Fare (breakfast)
Garden Grill (had to include another character meal!)

Have to agree with Victoria and Alberts, Jiko, and Citricos--in that order.

Abba98 · 01-24-2005, 05:43 PM

It's the Norwegian buffet at the Norway pavillion in Epcot Center,and it's awesome......You will love it!Good luck!Wherever you go,have a tasty time!

Victoria and Alberts for romance
We really like Bistro de Paris (the upstairs in the back France restaurant) Lots of Disney execs eat here so that should tell you something
Flying fish was a great meal also.
Have fun and you will find many interesting places to eat without the kids. Any restaurant late night generally is not a kid crowded.

Lizardbeth61 · 01-24-2005, 07:18 PM

. . . but haven't been to the ones others have mentioned. If you want a calming atmosphere, a great steak and great service no matter if you're dressed to the nines or in shorts (I think they prefer better dress, but they understand if you've just come from the parks), The Yachtsman is fantastic. However, the others mentioned are a bit more exotic. Have heard V&A's is extraordinarily expensive and may be out of range for my common palate.

MINNIEBOWSER · 01-24-2005, 09:48 PM

My favorite is Kona Cafe. Plus I love the Poly atmosphere.

TheIncredibles · 01-24-2005, 10:37 PM

Might check into the Chef's Table at Victoria & Alberts...see if that would be interesting to you, certainly unique.

disney queen · 01-24-2005, 10:59 PM

yes, jiko is located at animal kingdom lodge.
