It's hard to say which is the best. I think it really depends on what you would like to eat. But finding a good vegetarian restaurant is in Walt Disney World is very easy.
First, there is the great book, Vegetarian Walt Disney World and Greater Orlando by Susan Shumaker and Than Saffel. It's a great resource when you're looking for a vegetarian meal. And the book provides some suggestions on vegetarian dishes that you may ask the chef to prepare by calling ahead 24 hours.
And then there are the menus available online at WDWinfo.com. Now when I am planning my ADR's, I look up restaurants that we might be interested in and check out their menus. Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised by what I find.
For example, a steakhouse isn't always a steakhouse. Check out the menu at Concourse Steakhouse at the Contemporary. They offer a vegetarian penne pasta tossed with spinach, tomatoes, Shiitake mushrooms, Kalamata olives, and parmesan cheese.
Or how about Le Cellier. They have a roasted red pepper stuffed with black bean and corn dressing served with noodle salad and peanut sauce. They also offer vegetable side dishes such as cream cheese mashed potatoes, creamed spinach gratinee, grilled asparagus, and oven roasted wild mushrooms.
Some other interesting dishes are at Whispering Canyon Cafe, try their Canyon Veggie Plate (stewed cannellini beans topped with sauteed spinach, oven-dried tomatoes, grilled yellow squash, and fried potato nest with honey-basil-ginger oil), and The Hollywood Brown Derby where you can get the Thai Noodle Bowl which is made with coconut-crusted tofu, edamame, snap peas, bok choy, and shiitake mushrooms in red curry broth.
For us, we are anxiously awaiting our next trip to Walt Disney World when we can sample the the Red Pepper-Mushroom Risotto at Narcoossee's and the Fire Roasted Eggplant & Goat Cheese Ravioli at The Flying Fish.
Happy Vegetarian Eating!!
