Restaurant Review: Grand Floridian Cafe

Location: Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

Meals Offered: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Rating: 

 

The Grand Floridian Cafe is a casual dining spot at this classic resort – it’s a staple that serves great food for breakfast, lunch AND dinner!

The Food:

I’ve eaten here for alllll of the meals, and the food is excellent! What I really love is that breakfast food is served through lunchtime. Mickey waffles for lunch?! Yes please! For dinner, my favorite entree is the delicious buttermilk-fried chicken. Every meal has great options for kids, so everyone will be able to find something they like. The price point is reasonable, which is another great perk of this spot, especially with all of the more expensive dining options at the Grand Floridian.    

The Atmosphere:

The atmosphere is the only reason I give this spot a 4-Mickey rating.It could definitely use some updating. While it fits in with the ambiance of the resort, it just feels worn down. What I do love though is the view from the windows (try to request a window table if you have the right size group!), as you look onto the beautiful property and might get a glimpse of the Polynesian nearby.

Reservations:

This spot is typically pretty easy to get into (especially for lunch). I’ve noticed more availability for day-of reservations, too, or you can join the walk-up waitlist! 

 

WDW Park Planners Tip:

If you aren’t staying at the Grand Floridian, it’s a beautiful resort to visit. Enjoy a yummy breakfast with Mickey waffles, and then hop on the monorail and head to Magic Kingdom for the day!
