4 Disney World Restaurants Where the ONLY Con Is the Price

There are so many amazing places to eat all across Disney World.

Since there are so many different restaurants, lounges, and dining experiences at Disney World, it can be overwhelming to narrow down the list of restaurants that you must dine at. That is why we are here to help! Here is a list of four restaurants at Disney World where the only real con is the price. 

While we like to go out around the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs to review a meal ourselves, we also love to hear from you, our amazing readers! Did you know that you can leave reviews on our site about all things Disney, including rides, restaurants, shows, hotels, and more? We want to hear from you, so make sure to check our review area and tell us about your Disney World vacation!

Our readers helped us curate this list of restaurants that are so good; the only real problem with them is that they can be on the pricier side.

Narcoossee’s

Narcoossee’s is located at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa and sits on the water of the Seven Seas Lagoon. Not only are the views spectacular here (especially at nighttime during the Electrical Water Pageant and fireworks), but the food is fantastic. 

One reader said, “The service and atmosphere were second to none. We had a great view of the Electrical Water Pageant while dining. Before our meal, we headed to the docks and had a good view of the fireworks display at Magic Kingdom.” They noted in their review that the only con is that the menu is priced on the higher side and that getting a reservation can be difficult.

Another reader agreed that the only con is that it is pricey. In their review, they said, “The seafood here is good, and the views of the lake are beautiful. When we went, our server was great, and the food was good. This would be a great place for a date night or a special occasion. I think that there are some better options for seafood in Disney Springs, but if you are staying at the Grand, I would give Narcoossee’s a shot!”

Monsieur Paul

If you are looking for an authentic French dining experience, then look no further than Monsieur Paul in EPCOT’s France Pavilion. This restaurant often goes unnoticed as it is on the second floor above Chefs de France. During your dining experience you will be served a seven-course meal, so make sure to come hungry!

One reader said, “This place is delightful! I have dined here twice. Once by myself and once with my parents for my mom’s birthday. Both times were wonderful. This is a truly French restaurant. You may have a more pleasant experience if you do your research first so you know what to expect.” They went on to say, “If you try this place with the intention of trying to save money by choosing less expensive options…just don’t go. Pick somewhere else that works better for your family, and you won’t be freaking out about the cost. My bill was over $200 when I went by myself. I knew I’d be spending that much going into it for an EXCEPTIONAL meal, and I was delighted with the once-in-a-lifetime experience. I recommend this place for a special occasion.” 

Another reader agreed that Monsieur Paul is a great place for a special occasion as they went for their tenth wedding anniversary. “Our server was amazing, and the food was incredible. The black truffle and ox tail soup was so worth the extra cost.” They noted that they used two dining plan credits each and still paid $100 out of pocket.

 

Topolino’s Terrace

If you are looking to eat on a rooftop with views of Disney World, Topolino’s Terrace at Disney’s Riviera Resort is the place to be! It is open for a character breakfast in the morning, but by nighttime, the dining room transforms into an elegant space to have a fancy meal. 

A reader shared that “Dinner at Topolino’s Terrace has become a requirement for Disney stays. Every time we’ve come, the service has been exceptional, the food is astounding, and the restaurant is beautiful. My wife and I have each tried something different on each of our visits and haven’t had a dud yet. My favorite so far is the Rigatoni, and my wife loved the Sole Meuniére.” And as you can expect, their only con was that the meal could be pricey.

Another reviewer said, “The food here was really good, our server was excellent, and the overall vibe of the restaurant was really nice.” They noted that on top of being a bit pricey, it can get crowded during fireworks; otherwise, this reviewer said that they had “a very nice meal. The restaurant is gorgeous and would be a great way to spend a date night!”

Le Cellier

There are so many amazing places to eat in EPCOT, but one we never skip on is Le Cellier. This restaurant is located in the Canada Pavilion in the World Showcase. It is charming and has a dark atmosphere that makes you feel like you are in a wine cellar. 

One reader shared that “this was by far the best restaurant that we ate at during our trip. They were a little late seating us (they were running about 20-25 mins late on their reservations); but the Cast Members were very friendly and accommodating. Our server, Brandon, was very nice and checked on us often. My wife and I both got the filet mignon, and honestly, it was the best steak I have ever had! I got the side of mushrooms, and my wife got the smashed potatoes. They were both amazing. I got the whiskey flight as my “drink” and Brandon clearly explained what each one was and how it could pair with certain things on the menu….loved that! The atmosphere was great. I read online that customers are really close to the table next to them, but we had a table in the corner, so we really didn’t feel that way. Overall, it’s a great place… I highly recommend it and will definitely be back.” They ended their review by listing the one con that they had which was they felt that it was pricey, but it was worth it.

Another reviewer left their meal happy and said that Le Cellier “Hands down [is] the BEST food at Disney World!” They said the only con they could think of is the cost, but it is “absolutely worth the price for the best food and service on property!”

 

And there you have it! If you are looking to splurge on a meal during your next Disney World vacation, make sure to add one of these four restaurants to your dining list.
