Restaurant Review: Topolino’s Terrace – Flavors of the Riviera
Location: Disney’s Riviera Resort
Meals Offered: Character Breakfast and Dinner
Rating:
This rooftop restaurant at Disney’s Riviera Resort offers two incredible dining options – and we experienced them both!
Character Breakfast:
Breakfast was our first time at the resort and restaurant, and we were in awe of the beauty of everything! Aside from the fact that the resort has that new smell and feel to it, the decor is just breathtaking. The resort is European inspired (French and Italian), and the amount of detail and Disney history found throughout is unbelievable. The story for the character breakfast (because Disney always tells a story) is that Mickey and his friends are studying at an art school and are dropping by to say hi! Each of the characters has a different skill and are dressed accordingly (i.e. Mickey is a painter).
The meal is definitely on the pricier side, but you’re paying for the character experience. It’s $42 for adults and $27 for kids, and you pick a meal from a variety of options on the menu. The food was delicious and the service was the best. We sat for about an hour and were able to see the characters come around three different times – they come out individually and then as a group and do a fun parade and dance around the restaurant! Also, be sure to check out the amazing views outside on the terrace. It’s one of the best views of Disney property!
COVID Breakfast Thoughts:
This is one of the only character meals available on property. Disney has offered a modified experience since characters cannot come around to the tables for individual pictures and autographs. We were unsure of how it would really be when we went, and I have to say, we loved it! Seeing Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Daisy parade around the restaurant was so much fun, and we got to see them a ton! Even though they can’t “stop” at your table, the characters were great about posing in the background (6 feet away) so you could get pictures with them. Instead of autographs, the restaurant provided a pre-signed card. So overall, we would highly recommend this spot, especially once the “regular” character interactions are allowed again.

Dinner:
We had a delicious dinner and wonderful experience at Topolino’s Terrace. Currently, the outdoor terrace is closed, but we would have loved to have sat out there for our meal (and will have to come back and try it!). We were seated in one of the booths in the middle of the restaurant which was great. For the best view, request a table by the window!
The French and Italian inspired food was to die for, and we loved everything we tried on the menu! Again, this spot is a little pricey but worth the expense for a nicer meal at Disney. Despite being a little nicer, Topolino’s is still very family friendly and has great kids meal options on the menu. Check out the Dinner Menu HERE.
WDW Park Planners Tips:
For Breakfast:
The Riviera Resort is located on the Skyliner transportation system. If you’re going to breakfast at Topolino’s, plan your Hollywood Studios or Epcot day around that since you can take the Skyliner to both of those parks! Super easy and fun 🙂
For Dinner:
Try to time your meal around the nighttime shows (when they come back) at Epcot and Hollywood Studios since you can see them from here!
