Favorite Restaurant and Why?

Awww, that's a great reason to love Be Our Guest and sounds like the plan to win her over worked.

Right now, I'm craving noodles, so I think I want 'Ohana. But my favorite restaurant on property right now is over at the Swan & Dolphin- Rosa Mexicana. I love the table-side guacamole, their lobster quesadilla (the shrimp one is fantastic too) and the street corn.

I am a simple creature.

I L-O-V-E Baseline Taphouse!

My favorite spot is a tie between Tambu Lounge and Trader Sam’s Tiki Terrace at the Poly. My wife and I love to hang out on the Tiki Terrace when the weather is just right and listen to the live music while sipping on Spikey Pineapples and Polynesian Pearls, but we prefer the food upstairs at Tambu Lounge. If only we could combine the two….

I'd wake up the next morning and get the Al Forno Eggs at Trattoria al Forno. It's perfect every time. There are a dozen fantastic Italian places near me and not one does breakfast, so it's an only-at-Disney opportunity.

I think I'm with @YamKriegs on craving 'Ohana (I'm a sucker for the noodles, potstickers, and bread pudding) and luckily I get to go there very soon, but otherwise I'd love Flying Fish--those scallops are so good. I really don't think I've ever had a bad meal there, and I wouldn't turn down an opportunity to visit my favorite resort :)

Tough to pick just one! For sit down service, I really like Flying Fish at Boardwalk, always have a good meal there. For quick service, I love Satuli Canteen at Animal Kingdom.

I’m the contrarian to Ryan C.

Mine is an easy-peasy choice—Victoria and Albert’s.

Some background on me and hubby, first. We don’t do bars (don’t drink) and aren’t paint-the-town people. Instead, we eat out once or twice a week and otherwise save our bucks for WDW and a magnificent dinner at “Vicki & Al’s.”

We Disney lovers talk about “ paying for the experience” where character meal costs are concerned.

V&A’s is the pinnacle of that expression—magnificent food, graciously attentive service and every dinner there relaxing and festive all in one.

I urge anyone who enjoys being pampered to treat yourself to this extraordinary experience. You deserve a once in a lifetime best meal you’ve ever had!

On our most recent visit (Sept 24’) we ate at Via Napoli and it was our favorite meal from the trip. My steak was cooked perfectly and my husband loved the sea bass.

If I was celebrating something it would be Yachtsmen Steakhouse, our go to for annual anniversary dinner. If it was just a night out, probably Raglan Road right now.

The lamb shank at Jiko is to die for, although best dessert is Almond Cheesecake at Narcoossees.

For a date night we had an amazing evening having drinks at Geo 82 and then heading round to Shiki Sai, that was a special evening just walking slowly out of a nearly empty Epcot.

This is a tough question! I think I have to go with California Grill. I’m not usually a prix-fixe kind of girl (too much food for me), but we take the leftovers back to BLT and have a very decadent breakfast the next morning!

Cali Grill needs to drop this prix fixe nonsense. Annoying to have 3 courses when you may only want an appetizer or two or entree.

And while they’re at that, bring back the daggoned brunch. It was deeelish.

Keeping it real simple. Beaches and cream. Love the soda shop vibe, grilled cheese and tots the ultimate comfort food or an old fashioned banana split. Always too full to have both so have to go twice in one trip!

One of these days maybe I'll try V&A :)

I have been to Enchante on the Disney Treasure which I hear is on the same level, but having not tried V&A is just based off of what I've read from others.

I could eat the quiche from Topilinos character breakfast every morning forever. A legacy mimosa on the side would be ok too - fruit is part of a balanced diet 😂

This is tough…probably anything at Animal Kingdom. Love Yak & Yeti and the dumplings and fries from Mr. Kamal’s and The Nomad Lounge and Satu’li Canteen and ….

For this question I could either choose a favorite out of the ones I've been to so far--probably Cítricos--or pick one I have been wanting to try but never had the chance--probably Sci-Fi Dine-in Theater at DHS. One caveat is that my family is vegan, so I am selecting very specifically for a narrow set of plant-based options.

The Boathouse was a nice splurge last month. It was St. Patrick’s Day so we weren’t far from Raglan Road. The food was delicious and we enjoyed looking around at the gift shop as well as out the window to watch the cars zoom around the lake.

Totally agree. Table on the window at 8:45 pm for the fireworks with bread pudding, caramel and ice cream being wheel barreled to my table.

DVCDad mentions: One caveat is that my family is vegan, so I am selecting very specifically for a narrow set of plant-based options.

Are you a fan of Princess and the Bear’s YT restaurant reviews? They do a good job detailing likes/dislikes, imo.

Princess is vegan and explains well which dishes can be modified at each restaurant as well as what she did/didn’t enjoy. Bear, not vegan, adds his impression of her vegan dishes as well as the non-plant ones.

Btw, she praised the GF Afternoon Tea’s plant-based menu if you and your family might be interested in that sometime.

I have found the plant based option at Woody’s BBQ to be fun. There are several plant based menu options I enjoy quite a bit on property.

We love going to Le Cellier …never had a bad meal there. Going to eat there, then go to after hours in July!

The Boathouse was a first for us last week, and I'm dreaming of those steak sliders off the appetizer menu. I think this may be a recurring spot for us, if only for drinks and those sliders!

I dream about the salad at Liberty Tree Tavern….and of course the toffee cake. I wish you could just mobile order them. Sigh

We're huge fans of Jiko. Their menu is so unusual and their food is excellent! I remember having an elk steak, and it was the best - no one in my family has had a less than excellent meal there.

I love the pot roast.

I had those sliders! Yum

Ohhh Jiko…it’s been too long. Need to go back.

Liberty Tree is one of my favorites as well! I love it all from salad to dessert!

Beaches and Cream, because No Way Jose!

So, this question is about more than food. As with everything Disney, it is also about memories. So, like Lauren (@ldl 12) and @YamKriegs ) Ohana jumps to the top. While I know there have been some naysayers about Ohana, we have always had a good—> great meal, but even more so, looking back on the memories of eating there over 20 years with my family, kids growing up—now adults., no place touches that for me.

The salad is the star for sure!!

Not sure if this counts, but Capa on top of the Four Seasons is our favorite. Amazing patio, fireworks view from MK and Epcot. The food is incredible, and my wife enjoys the wine list.

On property, I think my favorites are Jiko and Flying Fish. So fun to make a whole evening out of visiting AKL and the food and service at Jiko is consistently excellent. Wild Boar Tenderloin is a must order. Similarly, love a stroll on the Boardwalk after dinner at Flying Fish and always have fantastic service.

If willing to venture slightly off-property, Bull and Bear at the Waldorf Astoria (essentially between the EPCOT resorts and Disney Springs) is my go-to for special occasions. Spectacular service with a lot of tableside preparations and outstanding food. Don't miss the fried chicken (we get as an appetizer and share) or the lemon dessert.

Geyser Grill has become a favorite. I go every trip so I can have that delish bison burger. Breakfast, always Kona. But, one restaurant I like, and I don't see many people talking about it usually, well two restaurants: Maria and Enzo's as well as Steakhouse 71 at Contemporary Resort.

Captain Cooks only because of the pork nachos! Then next door for a cheeky adult beverage

I’m looking forward to trying that bison burger on our next trip.

Liberty Tree - just Thankgiving and family vibe every time.

Boma. Amazing soups. The real cost of the Disney Dining Plan is discovering which of the really expensive restaurants you really like.

Cool. I haven't been to the BBQ yet, but I didn't love the Tochos over at Woody's Lunch Box (they weren't bad; just not good). Will get to the BBQ one of these days, for sure. My son and I are doing the DDP for the first time a couple times this summer, and I'm going to try to mix it up and go some places we haven't been yet. Fortunately there are some decent options here and there. I wish they'd go further than burgres and Beyond Sausage, though, especially for the all you care to enjoy options, which all seem the same (or very similar) across several table dining options. At least the jerk tofu at Sebastian's is a keeper.

That’s a tough one but I’d have to say Sanaa because it is my all time favorite WDW restaurant

We’ve always like Maya Grill at Coronado but you mentioned Rosa on a show so we went in November and loved it! I like being able to use Open Table for reservations

We went for the first time in February. I agree wholeheartedly.

I’m loving Teppan Edo and Citricos right now. Teppan Edo is such a good value for the amount of food you get and and Citricos has been consistently good

We love Breakfast so we go to Steakhouse 71 every trip for the seasonal pancakes. So good. The Eggs Benedict are really good too!

Not a sandwich?

The Garden Grill is always our favorite restaurant. We never miss it. The food is always so fresh and tasty and Chip and Dale are the absolute best characters in all the parks for us.

We have made a tradition of ending every WDW stay with dinner at Topolino's Terrace. The food, view and service are the best we have experienced..., so far. Ask me again after our next trip in December.

Garden Grill is a must do for us to ensure a successful Disney World vacation.

That's the way we feel about it also. We skipped it just one year and we all felt like the trip wasn't complete.
