Disney Dining Reviews with lots of Pics! 1/7-1/13 COMPLETED 3/2

We did not have an ADR for dinner this night. We wanted to do some more shopping at DTD, so we decided to see if we could get a table at Raglan Road. This was the one meal we hadn't planned and it ended up being the best meal of the trip!

Even though we didn't have an ADR we were seated right away. Our waitress, who was very friendly, took our drink orders and brought us some of this delicious Irish Soda Bread and dipping sauce. I forget what she said was in the sauce, but it was really good!

I also forget what the name of the drink I ordered was. It was one of the specialty alcoholic drinks on their menu. I remember it had Midori in it. I also remember that I downed it pretty fast

DBF and I both decided to order the It's Not Bleedin' Chowder - potatoes, mussels, prawns, scallops and fresh seafood infused with white wine and finished with cream.

If you like seafood, you should definitely try this! There was lots of fresh seafood and the sauce/soup/whatever it was, was creamy and delicious.

For dessert, DBF got the Bailey's Creme Brulee Tart:

At first he thought it was great (and it was, I tried some), but once he tried my dessert, he said his paled in comparison.
I had Ger's Bread and Butter Pudding:

This was the best thing I had to eat all week! I never had bread pudding before and I don't really know why I had the urge to order it, but I'm happy I did. It came with caramel sauce and vanilla sauce, and as our waitress instructed, I made a hole in the middle with my spoon and poured both of the sauces in. YUM!!!

We had a great time at Raglan Road, and we both agree that it was our favorite meal of the week. The food and service were both wonderful and we will without a doubt go back during our next trip

Question about the bread & butter pudding at RR - does it have raisins in it?

It looks phenomenal and I would love to try it, but don't particularly care for raisins.

Another great update! We adored Raglan Road and can't wait to go back. Especially to try the bread pudding!

 

[TigerKat]

Can't wait to try Raglan Road on our next trip!

I don't think it has raisins, because I loved it, and I like my bread pudding fruitless, the way my Irish grandmother used to make it.

The bread pudding had golden raisins in it, but there were very few. I don't care for raisins either but I barely noticed them.

We spent the last full day of our trip at MK. There was one snack I knew I wanted to try at MK that I hadn't tried yet. Figaro Fries!!! DBF and I used a snack credit to share one order of fries.

For the few of you that haven't tried them, they are fries topped with cheese sauce, lettuce, tomato, bacon, and ranch dressing. YUM
I think next time we'll each get our own fries because we didn't really want to share them with each other

We ate lunch that day at Columbia Harbour House. I had the Lighthouse Sandwich - hummus with tomato & broccoli slaw. DBF had the Anchors Aweigh Sandwich - white tuna with lettuce and tomato. I had chocolate cake for dessert and DBF had an apple crisp.

I love love love hummus and I really liked the sandwich. The hummus was good and I really liked the broccoli slaw. I can't comment on the chips that came with it because I don't really like chips so I didn't eat them.

DBF liked his sandwich. He eats tuna sandwiches all the time and said this was a good one. I don't know why, but I don't really remember anything about our desserts


Lighthouse Sandwich:

Anchors Aweigh Sandwich:

We will definitely come back here, we both really liked the sandwiches

The last sad1: ) TS meal of our trip was Boma. This was another ADR I was really looking forward to because of the way people rave about this place.

Our waiter was very nice, he took our drink orders and reccomended some things for us to try. On our first trip to the buffet we each got a bowl of soup. I really wanted to try the coconut curry seafood soup, but they didn't have it that night. I decided to try the carrot ginger soup, and DBF had some other kind of seafood soup. I LOVED the carrot ginger soup. It was thick and creamy and had a great flavor. DBF liked his soup too. I tried it and I liked the seafood but didn't really like the soup.

Here is my plate from my next trip to the buffet:

Clockwise from the top: Potatoes with Afritude, Mealie Bread, some kind of sweet potatoes, chicken with some kind of African sauce, macaroni and cheese and chicken fingers (just to be on the safe side in case I didn't like the African food ), and the white stuff in the middle is pap.

Here is DBF's plate:

Clockwise from the top: some kind of rice, potatoes with afritude, bobotie, mealie bread, nut-crusted salmon, chicken fingers.


We both loved the potatoes with afritude. They were spicy, but not too spicy. I really liked my chicken, but wasn't too crazy about the sauce. The sweet potatoes I had were great, and the chicken fingers were great of course The two things I did not like were the mac and cheese (not cheesy enough, but not African either so touché ) and the pap. The pap tasted like polenta when it's solid. I am weird when it comes to polenta. I like it soupy, and with nothing on it.

DBF really loved his salmon. His favorite thing was the bobotie, he still talks about how good it was. I didn't try any, it just didn't look appetizing to me, and I think it had eggs in it

We went back up so DBF could get some more bobotie and I got a small bowl of watermelon rind salad and pasta salad for us to try.

The pasta salad just tasted like regular pasta salad. Kind of a disappointment, I was expecting some kind of African flavor. The watermelon rind salad was probably my least favorite thing I tried all night.


Next it was time for dessert!

Those little fruit tarts were really good. I don't remember a thing about that chocolate volcano looking thing. I was really excited to try the zebra domes, and they were good, but my favorite dessert (and DBF's too) was the pineapple upside down cheesecake. They were soooooo good. On the bottom is a thin layer of white chocolate, which I usually don't like, but this white chocolate was really really good.

I really liked it here. I love trying different foods I haven't tried before. It seems like DBF liked a lot of the food here, but for some reason he doesn't want to go back next year I still have time to convice him though!

I have been lurking here since the beginning. I am really enjoying your reviews and the pictures. Everything looks yummy; they're making me hungry. Thanks for sharing.
I had to tell you that I agree with you about the pineapple upside down cheesecakes. They are delicious. I have the recipe for them... heaven I tell ya!
My husband feels the same way about Boma. He liked what he ate but don't want to go back this year. I think we are going to try the Tusker House dinner buffet instead.

Thank you for sharing! Loved all the pics- the sandwiches at CHH ARE yummo!

We had lunch on our last day at Boulangerie Patisserie. We saw some ham and cheese croissants in the display case when we got our cheese plate earlier in the trip and we knew we had to go back and try them. They looked amazing the way they were but after we ordered them the girl working there offered to toast them for us. YUM!!!! They were sooo good. They had lots of cheese on the inside and on the outside. Dessert was a difficult choice since there were so many things to choose from. I decided on creme brulee, and DBF decided on Strawberry Mousse. The creme brulee was good but DBF's mousse was REALLY good. I ate most of it

I think this was probably our favorite CS. There are so many options here. We are definitely going back next time
