Just curious what your favorite three restaurants are at the WDW theme parks? I need to pick one or two more for ADRS for our Jan. trip.
 
based on overall experience, my top 3 would be

50's prime time cafe
tutto italia
les chefs de france (never tried bistro, but have a feeling that would trump chefs)


edit to add: you did mean only at the parks? or are you including hotel restaurants as well...because that would change things a lot
 
In the theme parks we like:

Biergarten
Coral Reef
Crystal Palace
Akershus

in no particular order ;) We loved the food at all 4!
 
In the theme parks:
Le Cellier
Brown Derby
Coral Reef

At the resorts:
Jiko
Artist Point
Yachtsman Steakhouse
 

In the Parks:

Brown Derby
Yak & Yeti
Chefs/France
Liberty Tree Tavern

In the resorts:

Jiko
California Grill
Victoria & Alberts
 
Le Cellier
Chef de France
Crystal Palace

Honestly - other than at Epcot - if you want good (sit-down) food, leave the parks.
 
In the parks ....

Sci-Fi Dine-In (MGM ... cheesy but fun - don't order anything other than burgers fries and shakes or you may be disappointed)
Rose & Crown (Epcot)
Chefs de France (Epcot)

**Bistro Paris (Epcot, but it's only open for dinner and is quite upscale - I wasn't sure what kind of restaurant you're looking for, but the food here is wonderful).

In the resorts ...

Jiko
Citricos
Flying Fish
 
In the parks.....

50's Prime Time Cafe
Crystal Palace
Tutto Italia

We have to admit, other than in Epcot, we don't eat in the parks much since we use a sit down meal to escape the chaos and crowds. We usually find a resort to eat at and have found them a great way to do that (except Chef Mickey's which we also love, that's always packed and loud, but SO fun!).

We also try to do one new spot every trip. Haven't decided what that will be this trip.
