I will be going down in April and have made 10 table service reservations at the following restaurants:
Tony's Town Square Restaurant
Sci-Fi Dine In Theatre
Les Chefs de France
Yak n Yeti
Rainforest Cafe @ Animal Kingdom
Kona Cafe (breakfast)
Le Cellier Steakhouse
Boma Flavors of Africa (breakfast)
Coral Reef Restaurant
Restaurant Marrakesh
Has anyone eaten at any of these? If so what do you recommend? I am on the dining plan so I get the entree and dessert. Also any pics of the meals at these restaurants? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will post reviews myself once I get back in April, but any help prior to my trip would be wonderful!!
looks like a wonderful list! I've eaten at all on your list except Marrakesh and Yak N Yeti. I do plan to hit Yak and Yeti in Dec though.
we love Le Cellier and eat there almost every trip. the pretzel bread is divine, the cheddar cheese soup is a must and great desserts. Of course i love the filet. Even with an ADR, be prepared for a bit of a wait. campfire smores at Le Cellier (love the chocolate mousse more though)
I was impressed with Coral Reef- it was our first time there for lunch in Dec. We had a great meal (especially considering we had a party of 14). Selections were good- something for everyone and excellent food. The atmosphere was fabulous too and we sat the furthest away you could from the aquarium, along the back wall and still enjoyed it. The desserts here were great!
desserts at Coral Reef- creme brulee (butterscotch i think and the famous chocolate wave).
Love Chefs de France as well- yummy french onion soup, great service and desserts. be prepared for it to feel a bit loud and crowded, tables are close together. but great food.
Sci fi- the food is okay, nothing exceptional. they do offer a burger that isn't on the menu. i do love their BLT soup- really good! we just love the atmosphere here, fun and we are big sci fi nerds. so we go in knowing the food is mediocre and it is more about the experience. again, be prpared to wait here even with an ADR. we usually aren't seated until 15 minutes or more past our ADR time, they seem to always run late/behind.
Kona is great too- wonderful selection, casual dining and overall good selection.
I've now done breakfast and dinner at Boma- i enjoyed dinner more. But not being an 'exotic' eater, i found it okay. i still found plenty to eat, being as picky as i am- and loved the soups. The zebra domes were okay, but i just don't understand what all the hype is about. you can buy them in the fast food place at AKL too by the half dozen if you want. again, it is loud, busy and seems a bit crowded, probably due to the buffet style and people being up and down and walking around a lot. if you like exotic food, you will probably really enjoy it!
not a big fan of rainforest- i think it is just overpriced bar food. but a lot of people enjoy it. we have one here locally in dallas, so we don't find it anything special and i seem to always have bad experiences either with the food or service so that has put me off a bit. definitely fun atmosphere. We've thought of trying the T-rex cafe maybe for dessert (not full meal) next time - it looks a lot cooler than Rainforest inside (same owners i believe).
have a ball!!!
