A reader asked me for a list of my ten favorite Disney World restaurants. He also asked me for a list of my LEAST favorite Disney World restaurants. I’ve decided to answer half of his question, sort of, by telling you my favorite counter service and full service restaurant for each park, Downtown Disney, and the resorts as a whole. Now there are some Disney World eateries that I don’t like, but for the moment I’m going to keep that list to myself.
Of course, this list is purely subjective and could change tomorrow, depending on my mood. Also, since I’m listing restaurants by location, some selections might make this list, but wouldn’t necessarily make a true, “top ten” list. But here are my choices as of this moment.
Magic Kingdom:
Counter Service: Columbia Harbour House
Table Service: The Plaza Restaurant
Epcot:
Counter Service: Yakitori House
Table Service: Bistro de Paris
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Counter Service: None of them
Table Service: Brown Derby
Disney’s Animal Kingdom:
Counter Service: A tie between Flame Tree Barbeque and Pizzafari
Table Service: Yak & Yeti
Downtown Disney:
Counter Service: Earl of Sandwich
Table Service: Portobello Yacht Club or Raglan Road
Disney Resorts:
Counter Service: Everything Pop Food Court
Table Service: Flying Fish, followed closely by Citricos
Best Buffet Property Wide: Boma, followed closely by Cape May Café
Best Character Meal Property Wide: I don’t do Character Meals!
You may have wondered why I didn’t select Victoria & Albert’s as my favorite resort table service restaurant. There’s a reason I didn’t. You see, I put Vickie & Al’s (as I like to call it) in a class all by itself. You can’t begin to compare this restaurant to anything else at Disney World it is so outstanding. I try to restrict my visits to once every three years or so. The reason, I want to keep this experience extra special and if I ate here too often it would lose some of its charm.
Now remember, my list of restaurants is just that, MY list. If you don’t agree with some (or all) of my choices, that’s great. Your selections are every bit as valid as mine.
