Skip Pandora Breakfast

[MaryKatesMom]

We ate at the canteen there. Beautiful interior but we really did not like the food.

I had the pork shoulder hash with chorizo sausage and it would have been good if it was half the size and served with eggs. It was a big pile of meat and potatoes. Poached eggs on top would have made it awesome but that is hard to do so scrambled would have been fine.

I also tried the "pod" which is like a steamed bun filled with a scrambled egg mixture which was simply awful. The exterior was too thick and chewy with an odd yet bland flavor. The interior did not have enough filling to make it tasty. If I had walked through the tables and seen the empty uneaten pods I never would have ordered it.

My DD's had the goat cheese egg souffle with beef and chimichurri sauce. The eggs were too hard and the beef and sauce were tasty but felt odd at breakfast.

It looked like the french toast went over fine at other tables but people were grumbling. Once at the PU window and again while at the tables people complained and the chef brought out plain scrambled eggs.

I think they should just add an "Earthling" platter of scrambled eggs, bacon and potatoes. My DH would have not eaten a thing here. So be warned.

Big pile of meat and potatoes. Yummmmmm!!
For me, on a very restrictive diet, both the breakfast and lunch menus at this location offer more choices than just about anywhere in the parks. I hope when we visit, it will still be true, but I suspect the menu will change to suit the general population.

Can we just agree that quick-service breakfast is bad everywhere? Seriously, has anyone found a quick-service breakfast meal that isn't gross?

LOL. Not my thing, but I did immediately think, that's exactly what my son would want!

I'm sorry the breakfast wasn't more to your liking, OP. A disappointing way to start the day, I'm sure.

I really liked the quick service at Grand Floridian. Just had a basic breakfast sandwich: croissant, cheese, bacon, egg. It was always pretty yummy.

I too tried the breakfast pod and was glad I tried the child's portion as I agree it was awful! The inside was a sawdust texture and my BFF suggested the outside tasted like squished white bread. I have heard that the lunch bowls and pods are much better.

I will let you know. We will be trying Sanaa's QS in a few weeks.

And it was for the first several bites but a little more contrast would have helped. It was rather a one note dish.

It certainly wasn't at sunshine seasons!!!

 

[MaryKatesMom]

The "bowl" concept for lunch and dinner looks interesting. I would love to try it for breakfast.

Pick scrambled eggs or scrambled tofu, add the hash, add grilled veggies, add chorizo, add spinach, add a sauce or cheese.

I imagine it wouldn't be that hard to put a line together for that and everyone would get what they like.

Actually, Picabu at the Dolphin has the best bacon, egg and cheese on the ciabatta bread. My DD and I split it, it is so huge. They will crisp the bacon up for you.

Is that new? I'd give that a shot. Sanaa is one of my favorites, and I didn't realize it had started serving breakfast.

I was shocked,too. They just started it. I have to admit, I'm really excited. http://allears.net/dining/menu/sanaa/breakfast

Sounds like the food just wasn't for you. I have seen many positive reports.

Yes! I have! It was at Gaston's and it was the chocolate croissant. OH MY LORD IT WAS GOOD! I got it first thing in the morning so it was nice and fresh. Mmmmmmmm. Im drooling thinking about it. It was the best breakfast ever! ........ Ok ok, I know what your thinking.... its not exactly a "breakfast". But in my eyes it is. And its a darn good one!

Most people rave about the lunch/dinner food though...not the breakfast. I've seen a lot of positive reports about the lunch/dinner...rightfully so, it looks tasty! I gotta admit though, when i first read the breakfast menu, I wasnt thrilled. It honestly didnt appeal to me either. I'll most likely stick to eating lunch/dinner. Those bowls look yummy.

And, croissants or anything from Les Halles bakery in EPCOT are also yummy any time of day.

Yes they are! I love their sandwiches too. Great place to have lunch.

the breakfast at Artist's Palate at SSR is good. Never had a bad breakfast meal there.

The one thing that scares me the most is when people are unwilling to try new things, and these restaurants have exciting options, but because they aren't plain bland versions of what people expect Disney ends up swapping out something like goat cheese and herbs eggs for plain scrambled eggs.

It happened at Skipper Canteen and the same at Tiffins to a certain degree.
