While lots of variety can be great, it can also be overwhelming. To help make it a bit less overwhelming, we are rounding up five Disney World restaurants that reviewers can’t stop bragging about.

You may find a new favorite or just confirm the restaurants you were considering. If you didn’t know we have a reviews forum for Disney rides, restaurants, hotels, and more. We love hearing from our readers and we love hearing your thoughts about what Disney World has to offer. So we are heading to our readers’ thoughts to see which restaurants are most recommended.

Now let’s dive into the top five restaurants that our readers are recommending!

Olivia’s Cafe Breakfast at Disney’s Old Key West Resort

We are starting off at Olivia’s Cafe which has an overall rating of 9.5 from 22 reviewers, and a whopping 100% of reviewers recommend this restaurant. Specifically, the brunch option at Olivia’s Cafe is being raved about. 

The Banana Bread French Toast and Breakfast Potatoes are the talk of the town, but lots of reviewers praise how delicious the food here is overall. As well, the service is great and many people commented on how homey this restaurant makes you feel.

We also love Olivia’s Cafe and we think their brunch is fantastic! It can take a bit of travel time to make it over to Old Key West, but Olivia’s Cafe is worth the trek and lots of our reviewers agree as well.

Boma Breakfast at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

Next up is yet another breakfast option at a resort. However, this time we are headed over to Animal Kingdom Lodge for breakfast at Boma. We love the breakfast at Boma and it appears our readers also agree. We have 62 reviews of Boma Breakfast and our reviewers gave it an average rating of 9.23 and 98% of them recommended it.

Boma is a buffet option so get ready for a very filling meal! Boma has something for everyone including some unique breakfast options. However, if someone in your party isn’t as adventurous of an eater there are all of the classic breakfast options as well.

Animal Kingdom Lodge will also take a bit of extra effort to get to in the morning unless you are already staying there. But similarly to Olivia’s Cafe, we really think that breakfast at Boma is a fantastic experience!

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in EPCOT

For our next restaurant, we are finally headed into the parks! Another restaurant that our reviewers are raving about is Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in EPCOT. This restaurant has 48 reviews with an average rating of 8.52 and 98% of reviewers recommend it.

Akershus is a character dining option that offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The restaurant provides you the opportunity to taste Norwegian-inspired fare while meeting princesses.

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall not only provides the opportunity to meet a lot of different princesses, but you also get to enjoy some delicious food! Some reviewers warned that this may not be the best option for picky eaters, but overall the food here is tasty.

This restaurant would be a great option to meet a lot of characters while enjoying a great meal, however, if you just want the best food available, reviewers suggested this might not be the best bang for your buck.

Nomad Lounge in Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Moving on to Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Nomad Lounge. You can find Nomad Lounge nestled in the trees on your way to Pandora – The World of Avatar. Nomad Lounge currently has 61 reviews with an average rating of 9.23 and 97% of the reviewers recommend the restaurant.

Many of our reviewers praised the food and drinks at this lounge, and they love the atmosphere. The menu is full of tasty bites and innovative cocktails. We agree that the food at Nomad Lounge is delicious and this is the perfect spot for a relaxing break during your Animal Kingdom day.

This is a popular restaurant for a reason, so if you are hoping to dine here, make sure you join the waitlist as soon as you can!

Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom

Our last restaurant rounding out our top five is Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom. This restaurant has 174 reviews with a rating of 8.63 with 97% of reviewers recommending this restaurant.

Columbia Harbour House is a quick service restaurant that serves up New England-inspired food options. In addition to some great quality quick service food, Columbia Harbour House also provides ample indoor, air-conditioned seating to dine in. The best of both worlds while you are in the theme park.

Many of our reviewers felt like you get a good amount of food for the price and that the food is good quality. However, some also warned that if you aren’t a fan of seafood you won’t find too many options here.

Although one of our favorite offerings at Columbia Harbour House is great for seafood and non-seafood fans alike. The hushpuppies are amazing and a great snack to enjoy while you relax for a bit inside Columbia Harbour House.

Honorable Mentions

We have rounded out our list of some of the most recommended restaurants by our reviewers, but we couldn’t end the list without including a few honorable mentions that were SO CLOSE to being included. Honestly, we could probably go on for days on honorable mentions so we are going to try to keep the list short and sweet.

Starting off with BaseLine Tap House in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This dining location has 36 reviews, with a 9.03 rating and 97% of reviewers recommending it. 

BaseLine Tap House is an ideal stop if you are looking for a quick snack and an alcoholic beverage. You get a good bang for your buck and there are lots of drink options.

Next up on the honorable mentions list is Kringla Bakeri og Cafe in EPCOT. Kringla Bakeri og Cafe has 60 reviews with an 8.75 rating and a 97% recommendation rate. 

This location is well known for its school bread snack, but you can also choose from a large selection of other pastry options and beverages.

Finally, we also wanted to include Kona Cafe Breakfast at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. This restaurant has 50 reviews with a 9.16 rating and 96% of reviewers recommending it. 

One of the highlights of the menu here is the Tonga Toast which many of our reviewers also praised. However, the menu includes a good selection of other tasty options and our reviewers generally think the service here is great.

There you have it! Our list of five (plus three honorable mentions) restaurants that we found our readers loving. There are so many amazing food options at Disney World though, so also don’t limit yourself to the restaurants that made this list. If eight Disney World restaurants still aren’t enough for you, then you are in luck! Check out our YouTube video where we go over 24 of the best Disney World restaurants:
