Restaurants at Disney World - Part 3

Some restaurants at Disney World offer more of a fine dining experience. These restaurants have a business casual dress code (basically meaning no tank tops or bathing suits), although things don't get overly "upper class" on Disney property.



An exception to this rule is Victoria & Albert's, which is Disney World's lavish adults-only restaurant complete with personalized menus, harp music, and a 6-course meal with a fixed price of $125 per person ($185 with wine pairings). It is the only restaurant in all of central Florida to receive AAA's 5-diamond award (and for 10 years running), making it one of the top 52 restaurants in the United States. We have no plans to dine at Victoria & Albert's, but some may be interested as a private and unique fine dining experience.




Near the private dining room of Victoria & Albert's is Citricos, which is also located at the Grand Floridian Resort. Mary and I both had our best meal at Citricos, and we're looking forward to dining there again. Citricos is one of Disney's "Signature" dining restaurants, one of only 8 such restaurants on property. The cuisine is a hybrid of French, Italian, and Mediterranean.



Menu items include seared tuna carpaccio, quail tortellini, braised veal shank, filet Sicilian, pan-seared halibut, citrus-soaked angel food cake, tropical fruit creme brulee, and a wide range of specialty wines, cocktails, coffees, and teas.



All restaurants at Disney World also feature children's menus. The menus usually include some standard, find-anywhere dishes like macaroni and cheese and pizza, but Citricos also offers Mickey pasta, grilled beef tenderloin, grilled chicken breast, pan-roasted fish, and dalmatian chocolate eclairs. Children's menus usually include fruits and/or vegetables, milk, bottled water, and juice; fries and pop can be substituted upon request.



Note: the second picture below is one that I actually took. The drink is called a Glowtini.
