A friend of mine and his partner are travelling from CA to Disneyworld for his birthday next month. He needs a couple more dining suggestions. I told him I would throw it out to the experts. :) You can tell from the restaurants listed the kind of places they like.


I was asking for some WDW dining recommendations.

Trying to check out some different places.

So Far:

Jiko
Coral Reef
San Angel Inn
Bistro de Paris
Victoria and Albert's

I need three more.

What about Narcooses or Citricos? Yachtsmen was very good last month. I also happen to love Teppan Edo especially if they are guys who would live to have a drink and talk during dinner since they are at one big table.

Oh I forgot the new one we tried The Wave at the Contemporary. It was very good and the atmosphere was terrific.

All of those seem nicer and more upscale than my favorites. Do they want something different or on par with that list?

I would throw in the Rose and Crown either way though they have alot in Epcot it seems already.

I would suggest Kona at the Poly and maybe the Turf Club at SSR

Kona, definitely - a little noisy but great food. Haven't been to the Wave but it's gotten lots of good reviews. LeCellier and Chefs de France are bothgood. Prime Time is a really fun place to go, if they can handle the kidding.

Flying Fish is my favorite!! California Grill is also a must do! Those are my two favorites - I can't think of any more - too much time going to Disneyland not the World!!

In April we have ADR's for

Cape May Dinner Buffet at the Beach Club
California Grill
Le Cellier (Canada got late lunch...couldn't get dinner)
Teppan Edo (Japan)

Others we have been to that we like

Tony's (MK)
Brown Derby (MGM)
Rose & Crown (UK-Epcot)
Chefs de France (Epcot)
Biergarten Restaurant (Germany)
Spoodles at Boardwalk
Coral Reef
Wolf Gang Puck Cafe at DTD West Side

We would like to try
The Wave (Contemporary)
Citricos
Narcooses
Kona Cafe


You didn't ask but these are ones we didn't care for:
Restaurant Akershus good if you like raw fish. :eek:
Tutto Italia Ristorante way over priced for what you get
Restaurant Marrakesh good if you like lots of curry
Boma Everyone raves about this one but we didn't care for it.
Chef Mickey's we were with a big crowd and felt very rushed and the food was marginal.
Prime Time I think your experience depends on your server and ours was a dud.

I liked Brown Derby as well. We finally went there last week.
We liked Maya's. I think that is the name-at Coronado. YOu would be surprised at the good ones at the resorts. And easy to get into. They were practically empty.

My sister and I went to Narcoosee's for a late dinner last spring, easily one of our best dinners ever :love:

The fireworks crowd had cleared out, the atmosphere was intimate, and the food and service were wonderful.

We had the french press pot with dessert, came with homemade macaroons that were wonderful. The scallops and rissoto were outstanding.

Definitely a top choice in my book!:sunshine2:
