Yeah, DDP is accepted at Tokyo Dining. I've read loads of reviews of both so I have an idea of what they're like. If I was to cancel Biergarten, I think I'd go for Teppan Edo because it looks like more of an "experience", which is what I'm after. Thanks for your help.

Teppan Edo we came out and cancelled The wave so we could go back this trip. Biergarten we will not return to but many seemed to be having a good time there. the family on our table singing along to the show & clinking glasses. Others getting up and dancing (especially to the birdie song)
Just wasn't our sort of thing.

The Birdie Song? Sounds like Butlins!

I'm very tempted to get rid of Biergarten in favour of Teppan Edo. Will see what DBF thinks...

Thanks in a great part to waynes report we have booked Teppan Edo as my wife is vegetarian, looks fun my only fear is the food looks a bit dry.

We have also cancelled Coral Reef in favour of Sanaa for better or worse.

Thanks again Wayne

Thanks to your lovely Teppan Edo photos, we have booked it for our trip in October, it looks great

Your server at Hoop looks like the one we had at Whispering Canyon. Though he was not as much fun on the night we had him. Left a 20% tip but should have taken a leaf from your book and left him $5

Thank you for your BG photographs. I think we will add here for a future trip

I can confirm Boma is GREAT for vegetarians! My favourite meal of our last trip, and we ate LOTS...

Not tried Teppan Edo, will remember that for next time!

I seem to be the only vegetarian who disliked Boma! For me, there were too many sweet-tasting dishes.

there was really only one choice at teppan edo for vegetarians - as i recall..
so i wouldn't compare it to boma..
but it is a nice restaurant and it's possible for a vegetarian to eat there...

I seem to be the only vegetarian who disliked Boma! For me, there were too many sweet-tasting dishes.

there were about 10 different vegetarian salads...in addition to the make your own salad....and not including the humous and those types of dishes (that were at a separate table - i didn't even bother with any of those).

of the hot dishes, it seemed like almost all of them were vegetarian...
i don't recall them being sweet, but taste is very individual.....

 

[disney_princess_85]

Yeah, there are lots of vegetarian dishes at Boma. I just didn't like most of them! Each to their own.

definitely!!
i can't eat spicey foods at all..
when people say something is a little bit spicey, it usually means i'll need the fire department....
even mild salsas have me in near tears...

so definitely to each his own!!! which is why disney's pretty great - something for everyone!!

have you tried whispering canyon? i had a really yummy vegetarian dish there...
quinoa patties....sounds simple or dull....but it was really tasty....at least i thought so...and the side dishes were also really good.

i ate there on one of the backstage tours...so while everyone else was chowing down on ribs, i had the quinoa burgers or patties...i enjoyed them immensely.....

i just found it on the menu: Sauteed Quinoa Cakes - Edamame. cucumber Salsa, grilled Zucchini and Tortilla Crisp - $14.99

Is that on the lunch or dinner menu? I have had such a wrestle with this restaurant choice. I must admit I was pretty bent on booking it, which I did, purely because it is a special treat for DD and she is hooked on the youtube videos of the place and desperately wants to eat there. I had a hard enough time finding a menu between breakfast/lunch/dinner that suited BOTH of us - meaning there was at least one thing we could/would each eat. However they have changed the menus since I did my ADRs in April and I think we are going to struggle a bit. I may well order off the kids menu if they will let me and DD could eat some of the appetisers. We are paying OOP so hoping this won't be an issue.

it was on the lunch menu - lunch was part of the 7 hour backstage magic tour...

here's the menu:

i don't see it on the dinner menu....are you eating there for dinner?....i wonder if you can special order it a day in advance for the dinner menu..

by the way, according to DD, you can always order a vegetarian burger, even if it doesn't appear on the menu...
when she went last year with a girlfriend of hers, her girlfriend ordered the vegetarian burger in every single restaurant, even when it wasn't on the menu....she always got it..
and DD always ordered pasta, even when it wasn't on the menu...

so you don't have to stick to the menu...the chef will come out and try to make something special for you...

in most of the restaurants she ate, the chef came out to find out what they could eat and what they would like..

actually, that even happened at whispering canyon...the chef came out and asked if the quinoa cakes would be ok....i said yes, but i assume had i said no, she would have come up with other suggestions..

I can NOT believe it is already 2 weeks since you left! So glad you had a great time though and it was so nice to get updates from you when you hit the free wifi spots Bet you were sad to say goodbye to Herbie

Have a safe flight. Hope you guys get some sleep on the plane and some relatively decent food ..... failing which, enough good wine to help you not taste it.

Safe travels. Might be nice to get cooler temps for a few days but then you will miss the heat again.

Just getting ready for San Angel, doesn't get great reviews but we want to try for ourselves. Not much to report since Biergarten, just eaten at CS, last night an enjoyable walk around the world with Nigel, Mart & families and had a few drinks, ate at Harry Ramsdens, hope people don't think proper fish & chips taste like this. Tasted OK but nothing like we get at home.

Aye we felt sick with the heat the other day, coupled with our first and last trip on a Disney bus - 35 mins from DTD to SSR, I know how Tracy felt getting to OKW last week!!

Anyway about to board now, slightly delayed but hey.

Enjoy San Angel tonight
