Walt Disney World Resort Restaurants
Lake Buena Vista, Fla. -- Stylish Walt Disney World restaurants are now as entertaining as the famous Disney theme parks, with high-energy chefs, exceptional food and incomparable service. Today, both the parks and resorts offer more than 300 choices for dining -- more eateries than many cities.
The most notable additions are the award-winning specialty restaurants, from the trend-setting California Grill to the casual Flying Fish Cafe, where the freshest seafood dominates the American menu.
Walt Disney World guests can dine upscale at Victoria & Albert's at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa with white-gloved servers, or share tapas at Spoodles at Disney's BoardWalk, where families and friends gather around giant wooden tables for a feast from the Mediterranean. Wine lovers appreciate the international vintages at Citricos at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.
Stroll around Epcot World Showcase and you can sample ethnic cuisine from the four corners of the world: the new Tangierine Cafe in Morocco serves lentil salad, hummus and slow-roasted lamb, and Canada's recently renovated Le Cellier offers maple-glazed salmon and tender grilled steaks.
Longtime Epcot favorites still draw hungry diners, from Mexico's popular San Angel Inn to L'Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante in the Italy pavilion, where guests return time after time for the renowned Fettuccine Alfredo.
Even quick service eateries in the parks and resorts offer delicious fare, from grilled chicken and freshly tossed salads to fresh fruit from street-side vendors.
To make a priority seating, call 407-WDW-DINE (939-3463).
