Choose one restaurant

[Mrbones]

If you had to choose only one restaurant to go to in all of WDW which one would you choose? Ground rules: Not Victoria and Alberts, keep best use of DDP in mind

This came up on my recent trip XD priority 1 for me was character dining at Artist Point. For my hubs it was restaurant Marrakesh!

How do you define "best" use of DDP? Eating the most expensive meal possible or having solid food and a nice experience?

We like Kona and GFC.

Boma automatically comes to mind as it's a family favorite. Not sure how to balance the DDP part as we don't use it, but I know Boma is only one credit. Love Cali Grill and Narcoosee's but they are 2 credits.

Yeah, I was thinking keeping it to 1 credit on the dining plan, but I really wanted to hear people's opinion, and I so appreciate your response

Thanks, we are booked at Boma!

This is way too subjective

Best food? Best characters? Best location? Best what?

Signature dining outside of parks is usually wonderful. In park? Meh, no thanks

Low key, consistently good decent prices? Olivia’s at OKW. Truly a hidden gem

Boma has to be one of the best dining options. Always good, always lovely

Garden grill (breakfast) is one of my very favorites. I have had the best character interaction here, bar none. Pluto is awesome!

I enjoy the road less traveled often. ‘Ohana, for me, is a never ever, not even if you paid me. CM? No thanks, I’m good. Le Cellier, god no

As always, ymmv

We love Boma! Stayed at AK last month just to eat at Boma. Their breakfast is supposed to be excellent, too.

(my Boma tip.... there are four sections iirc, start at the LAST section where the meats are and work your way back to the salad and bread!)

 

[Harambe]

You would get a different answer on any given day from me! So for today, if I could close my eyes and be in a WDW restaurant when I'd open them . . . .

Rose & Crown! Eating a Scotch egg - yeah!

 

[Wild4Walt]

Grand Floridian Cafe - the service was excellent and the food was delicious. We loved the decor and feel. It had a bright, sunny, Victoria feel to it that appealed to us.

 

[Jatoas]

For me i's Sc Fi diner. Experience and atmosphere way more important then "Posh Food".

Depends on my mood and where I am, LOL
Best park restaurant: Chefs de France or Tokyo Dining
Best at Disney Springs: Morimoto Asia at lunch when it's 1 TS; Jaleo for a special meal; Wine Bar George for great wine and a limited but well cooked and presented food menu; Boathouse for steak and seafood and a laid back atmosphere on the water.
On the Boardwalk: Flying Fish. We eat here a lot sometimes more than once in a trip; it's up our alley regarding innovative dishes that are well prepared but still knowing what you are getting, some of the best desserts in and out of the bubble and professional wait staff. Wish they'd open in NYC.

Wow, thanks for all the Detail!

I think I'm kind of different because at Disney the experience/atmosphere is really important for me and above food (yet to find a signature I'd visit again other than CRT). I also would not travel much for food and try to eat where I am (or plan to be).

That said my favourite breakfast is Cape May, and my favourite dinner was Coral Reef. The food in Boma is amazing. If I were staying at AKL I'd have both breakfast and dinner there and at Sanaa and Jiko before going anywhere else.

 

[SamFaniam]

Sanaa when in still light out, request a table close to the windows.

 

[karen4546]

Coral Reef, 50s prime time, Boma, Sanaa (get the bread service and share an entree), San Angel Inn, ......

I really can't say a restaurant that I don't like. I don't love Ohana, but that is because i hate to see all the wasted food. They bring way too much out.
And, I don't like the desserts at Teppan Edo but the tempura, ribs and main entrees are always good. Oh yea, ,Garden Grill was fun. Too much food again, but DH likes Chip n Dale.

Thanks, great advice!
