food IS a theme park
It’s amazing how many changes we’re seeing at Disney World, but our favorite changes are when restaurant menus get some new food because, hey, that’s MORE NEW FOOD for us to try!
The Plaza Restaurant
So when we noticed a menu change at The Plaza Restaurant, we headed back there so we could do an ALL-NEW REVIEW to try the new items! And yes, we were literally JUST THERE last month, but new food means we need to try it out so we can let you know if it’s any good!
Hey there DFB readers, we’re back with another restaurant review!Â
Let’s EAT!
We’ve dined at every restaurant in Disney World, but we make sure to visit again and again to bring you the most up-to-date details and info. That’s especially the case when a restaurant reopens, and today we’re headed over to Hollywood Studios for such an occasion!
While there is plenty of delicious food INSIDE the Disney World theme parks, the restaurants at Disney World’s hotels are NOT to be overlooked!
The Spread!
Today, we’re taking you on a virtual trip to Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort and a restaurant you may have never even stopped at before — Three Bridges Bar & Grill. This beautiful, outdoor, covered dining spot is right in the center of the water and has some absolutely gorgeous views. We have long RAVED about their Warm Manchego and Oaxaca Cheese Dip (SO MUCH YUM) but today we’re trying a whole bunch of other items and bringing you our thoughts!
One of the things we love most about EPCOT’s World Showcase is that it gives us a chance to travel the world and maybe see — and eat — things we wouldn’t normally find anywhere else!
Welcome to Tutto Italia Ristorante!
Thanks to World Showcase, we’ve had the chance to dive into the cuisines of France, Morocco, the U.K., and more! But our most recent jaunt across the “World” took us to Italy! The Italy Pavilion has multiple options dining options including one of our favorites — Via Napoli. But this go-round, we stopped into Tutto Italia Ristorante for a hearty Italian meal.
We’re taking a stroll down Disney’s BoardWalk, and stopping for lunch at Big River Grille & Brewing Works!
Big River Grille & Brewing Works on the BoardWalk!
This restaurant reopened not too long ago, and we thought it would be an excellent time to stop by, nosh on some classic bar food, and people-watch on the BoardWalk. It’s been a while since we’ve stopped by and dined here, partly because our last experience was less-than-exciting. But with different menu items and a stellar location, has Big River finally moved up our list? Let’s find out.
EPCOT is a treasure trove of dishes and drinks inspired by countries from around the world. If you’re looking to break away from burgers and chicken tenders of Disney World you can find some really stellar food.
La Hacienda d San Angel
One Pavilion positively brimming with flavorful food and drinks is the Mexico Pavilion. And that’s where we’re headed. But stop! We’re not going in the big pyramid. Nope, we’re headed waterfront to dine at this Pavilion’s SECOND, newer sit-down restaurant. For those of you interested in a little spice with a side of atmosphere, come this way!
Welcome to the Japan pavilion at EPCOT! And we can’t lie — this is one of our favorite pavilions in the World Showcase!
Japan Pavilion at EPCOT
Not only is this pavilion beautiful, but it’s also home to the impressive Mitsukoshi Department Store as well as several restaurants, including Teppan Edo. This spot reopened in August with an updated menu. We finally got around to eating there to see what eating hibachi in the time of social distancing would be like!
The Hollywood Brown Derby fits right in with the swanky feel of Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Hollywood Brown Derby
This spot is one of our most tried and true restaurants in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This signature dining location provides an upscale feeling of glitz and glamour that most people associate with the feeling of walking down Hollywood Boulevard. It hasn’t been too long since our last visit to the Brown Derby, but we’re back again (what can we say, we’re suckers for a good Cobb Salad!) to give you an updated look into this snazzy spot!
It’s been quite a while since we’ve visited Tony’s Town Square Restaurant in the Magic Kingdom!
Tony’s Town Square Restaurant
When we have visited for full reviews in the past, we have not been particularly happy with our experience. While the atmosphere has been charming and is perfect for Lady and the Tramp fans, the food usually seems to fall short. With other incredible options in the park like Crystal Palace (which recently reopened), or Be Our Guest Restaurant, we’re back to see if Tony’s Town Square is worth your time and money!
There’s no shortage of interesting places to sit down to a meal in Disney Springs. You can eat in a volcano, an ice cave, or even in a giant diving bell, but you can also eat on a BOAT!
Paddlefish Disney Springs
This boat has been floating (well, pretending to float, at least) in the waters of what is now Disney Springs for almost 45 years! We’re back at Paddlefish in Disney Springs!
