The Walt Disney World Restaurant Reddit Says Is The Best In The Park
Disney World is not only a great place to ride roller coasters and experience the magic of your favorite movies, but it's also an incredible culinary destination. With over 200 restaurants, some establishments boast menus from award-winning international celebrity chefs, while other places sell hot dogs. That's why people turn to places like Reddit for recommendations on Disney dining, like which place has the best coffee and which steakhouses are the cheapest or most expensive.
And while there's some stiff competition, Reddit seems to have a consensus that the best restaurant at Disney World is Sanaa. Located in the villas at Disney's Animal Kingdom Resort Area (Kidani Village to be exact), Sanaa melds African dishes with Indian flavors. The top comment states, "Sanaa. Hands down best food I had my whole trip" (via Reddit)! Another commenter stated the restaurant has been their favorite place to eat now for years.
With menu items like Samaki Upma Peri Peri (a tumeric-marinated sustainable fish) served with savory indian upma, charred corn relish, peri peri, chickpea crisp, and spring greens, it's clear to see all the influences. One of Sanaa's most popular menu experiences is the bread service, which comes with a total of five different breads, three different kinds of naan, onion kulcha, and paneer paratha. It's also served with nine different accompaniments, including an assortment of pickles, hummus, chutney, and raita.
Other places to dine at Disney World
There were plenty of other restaurants at Disney that have gotten rave reviews on Reddit, such as the Yak & Yeti restaurant located in the Asia section of Animal Kingdom. The menu has things like ahi tuna nachos, Kobe beef burgers, chilled sake, Asian beers, and wine. That said, some Redditors feel like Yak & Yeti is aimed at customers who don't eat Asian food often, claiming the restaurant serves overpriced food for the same kind of Asian fusion you can get in most moderately sized American cities for a fraction of the price.
If you would like some yummy food outside of Animal Kingdom, you still have plenty of options. Trattoria al Forno on Disney's Boardwalk is praised for serving delicious breakfasts – like Caprese Omelets or Al Forno Eggs, which are roasted in a brick oven, served with polenta, fennel sausage, spiced tomato sauce, and country bread.
Looking for a fine dining experience? People recommended visiting The Dining Room at Victoria & Albert's, located in Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The restaurant has two different chef tasting menus to choose from, and you can pair them with their extensive collection of over 500 wines from all over the world. Victoria & Albert's isn't just popular on Reddit; the place has a Michelin star. Just be prepared to follow their strict formal dress code and get ready to pay $295 per guest for the prix-fixe menu. Oh, and no children under 10 need apply. Wherever you choose to dine, just be sure to choose the the dessert that's pretty much its own attraction – the Chocolate Extinction at T-Rex, a dinosaur-themed restaurant, in the Springs' Marketplace district.
