Favorite Disney TS Restaurants - with a twist

[Tricia1972]

I see so many favorite restaurant threads, but none that ask 'where have you eaten'. So....

What are your top three favorites AND take a few moments to let us know where you've been.

1. Victoria & Albert's
2. Jiko
3. LeCellier


We've been to:
Victoria & Albert's, Jiko, LeCellier, Fulton's, Rain Forest Cafe, Gulliver's, Crystal Palace-Lunch and Dinner, Chef Mickey's-Breakfast and Dinner, Kona-Breakfast, Boma-Breakfast and Dinner, Mama Melrose, Spoodles, 50's Prime Time Cafe, Liberty Tree Tavern, Cap'n Jack's, Narcoosee's, Les Chefs de France
(All dinner, unless noted otherwise)

Next trip we're trying out Tony's and Beaches and Cream for our new places!

LeCellier
Fulton's
Biergarten

We have dined at: LeCellier, Rose & Crown, Fulton's, Biergarten, Prime Time, Sci-Fi, Brown Derby, Hollywood & Vine, Chef Mickey's, Cafe May Clambake, Boatwright's, Alfredo's (no longer there), Plaza Restaurant, Coral Reef, Garden Grill, Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, Nine Dragons, Mama Melrose, Tony's Town Square, Maya Grill and Ohana. We have never dined at one of the signature restaurants as we refuse to dress up while on vacation.

Egad, if I list everywhere I've eaten, my list will take forever!

My top 3 are hard to choose. I tend to like a top 5. Gah, decisions! If I must choose three...money being no object....

1. Victoria and Albert's (Chef's Table menu in dining room, wine pairings, baby!)
2. California Grill (only if foie gras is still on the appetizers menu)
3. Jiko (honorary runner-up in the same resort: Boma)

Where have I eaten? Hmm...if you're only counting table service, the list can be shortened...

Magic Kingdom: Crystal Palace, Cinderella's Royal Table (princess breakfast; King Stefan's Banquet Hall for other meals prior to the change)

Epcot: Coral Reef, Garden Grill, Akershus (pre-princesses), Biergarten, Bistro de Paris, Chefs de France, LeCellier (before the DDP madness), Rose and Crown, San Angel Inn, Tokyo Dining.

Studios: 50's Prime Time Cafe, Brown Derby, Mama Melrose's, Sci Fi Dine In.

Animal Kingdom: Well, since I don't do Rainforest Cafe at WDW, I want to mention I ate at their counter service offerings pre-Yak and Yeti. I loved Tusker House before the change, but I do want to try their new buffet.

Resorts: Boma, Jiko, Cape May Cafe, Big River Grille and Brew Works, Flying Fish, Spoodles, Shutters at Old Port Royale, California Grill, Chef Mickey's, Fresh (brunch), Trail's End, 1900 Park Fare, Citrico's, Narcoosee's, Victoria and Albert's, Garden View Afternoon Tea, Olivia's, Kona Cafe, 'Ohana, Boatwright's, Garden Grove (Swan; breakfast), Artist Point, Whispering Canyon Cafe, Yacht Club Galley (but not since the name change to Captain's Grille), Yachtsman Steakhouse, Beaches and Cream

Downtown Disney: Portobello Yacht Club, Raglan Road, Bongos Cuban Cafe, Wolfgang Puck Cafe (sushi bar only)

There aren't many places I haven't been to, and some I refused to visit because they always had horrible feedback. But I try to have at least one "new to me" restaurant on every trip, and next October, my "new to me" place will be Todd Engish's bluezoo.

It would be far easier to list where we HAVEN'T eaten (at least TS--we rarely do buffets or CS). The new Italian place at Epcot, Kona (for dinner), Captain Jacks, Il MUlino, Shutters--that's about it as to where we haven't eaten!!
And you could add a dozen or more spots no longer around to the list of where we've eaten.. Ariels, Papeete Bay, Tangora Terrace, Pompano Grill, Sum Chows, Harry's Safari, Juan and Only's, Palio, Top of the World Supper Club, Empress Room, Fishermans Deck, Steermans Quarters, and a spot at Pleasure Island that had great BBQ (but the name completely escapes me now--had black and yellow checked tablecloths)

The two restaurants I had always refused to try were Alfredo's (R.I.P.) and Nine Dragons because they were consistently getting horrible reviews. I've been prejudiced against them.

I remember that I wanted to eat at the Odyssey while planning an Epcot trip for my 1987 spring break trip, only to discover it was closed. We ended up at Lotus Blossom Cafe, and I have refused to eat there since.

 

[apostolic4life]

I remember that I wanted to eat at the Odyssey while planning an Epcot trip for my 1987 spring break trip, only to discover it was closed.

I wonder since the dining on property has become so popular, if they will ever reopen the Odyssey?? I think the location would be great for a TS restaurant and it would be fun to have another option for Epcot (one of WDW's busiest dining locations). I know they use it for small meetings now, but I think the best use of such prime location is a restaurant. When it was shut down, dining was not as popular and many restaurants sat empty much of the time. Just wishing I guess!!!
