Disney World is packed with incredible dining experiences, from quick bites to fine dining. Whether you’re craving classic park snacks or a full-course meal, there’s something for everyone. After many trips (and plenty of delicious meals), here are my top 10 favorite food spots across Disney’s parks and resorts!
1. ‘Ohana (Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort)
If you love all-you-can-eat family-style dining, ‘Ohana is a must! The grilled meats, teriyaki noodles, and famous bread pudding make this a fan favorite. Plus, if you time it right, you can watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks while you eat!
2. Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie (EPCOT – France Pavilion)
Tucked in the back of the France Pavilion, this hidden gem serves up incredible pastries, baguette sandwiches, and rich French desserts. The croissants are flaky perfection, and the macarons? Absolutely worth the hype.
3. Satuli Canteen (Animal Kingdom – Pandora)
This quick-service spot in Pandora is a game-changer. The customizable protein bowls (with your choice of grains, greens, and sauce) are fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly healthy compared to traditional theme park food.
4. California Grill (Disney’s Contemporary Resort)
For a high-end dining experience with the best view in Disney World, California Grill delivers. The sushi, filet mignon, and wine selection are top-notch, but the real star is the breathtaking view of Cinderella Castle—especially during the fireworks!
5. Nomad Lounge (Animal Kingdom)
This laid-back lounge is one of the best places to escape the crowds and enjoy unique small plates and cocktails. The Tiffins Bread Service and churros with dipping sauces are personal favorites!
6. Yak & Yeti (Animal Kingdom)
This hidden gem serves some of the best pan-Asian dishes in Disney World. The honey chicken, ahi tuna nachos, and fried wontons for dessert keep me coming back every time.
7. Be Our Guest Restaurant (Magic Kingdom)
Step inside Beast’s enchanted castle and dine in a fairytale setting. The French-inspired menu is solid, but the real highlight is the immersive atmosphere—especially in the eerie West Wing. And yes, you must try the Grey Stuff!
8. Topolino’s Terrace (Disney’s Riviera Resort)
This spot offers one of the best character breakfasts in Disney World, with Mickey and friends in adorable artist outfits. The dinner menu is fantastic too, featuring French and Italian-inspired dishes with an unbeatable rooftop view.
9. Regal Eagle Smokehouse (EPCOT – American Pavilion)
If you’re a fan of barbecue, this quick-service spot is a sleeper hit. The brisket, ribs, and garlic toast are legit, and the house-made sauces let you customize your flavors. Plus, it’s got a great selection of craft beer!
10. Gideon’s Bakehouse (Disney Springs)
Okay, it’s not a sit-down restaurant, but these half-pound cookies deserve a spot on the list. The peanut butter crunch and cookies & cream flavors are out of this world. Just be prepared to wait in line—it’s worth it!
Disney World is a foodie’s dream, and this list barely scratches the surface of all the amazing places to eat. Whether you’re looking for a fancy night out, a quick snack, or a hidden gem, there’s no shortage of delicious options.
