Gourmet Dining Options at Walt Disney World
By Michele Sponagle
(NC)—It is well known that Walt Disney World offers
something for everyone, but few visitors realize that this
philosophy extends to its dining options as well. Sure, you'll find
freshly baked jumbo pretzels, gourmet hot dogs and those infamous
turkey legs, but there's so much more. Disney is a virtual feast for
sophisticated palates.
The Orlando theme park is home to the only AAA
five-diamond rated restaurant in south Florida. Victoria &
Albert's, located in Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa,
showcases contemporary American regional cuisine. It's not just a
meal, it's an unforgettable dining experience.
For the global-minded gourmet, the options are
equally rich. Jiko's The Cooking Place in Disney's Animal Kingdom
Lodge captures the spirit of Africa and beyond with dishes that
feature exotic spices and ingredients. Sample your way through
Jiko's wine list, an unrivalled lineup of South African wines. Fans
of fine wine should also try some of the stellar west coast
offerings at California Grill, located in Disney's Contemporary
Resort.
International gourmet dishes are served up at
EPCOT, where countries share their culinary gems with Disney
visitors. Travel your way around the globe from Morocco's Marrakesh
to China's Nine Dragons. EPCOT is also home to the annual
International Food and Wine Festival each fall.
To book your place at the table, call
1-407-WDW-DINE for priority seating, available at many of Disney's
top eateries.
