Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Restaurants Guide
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa has a considerable number of restaurants. If you’re staying here, you’ll want to be aware of each location and probably make some decisions about where you’ll dine before your vacation. Naturally, some meals will cost more than others.
Grand Floridian’s dining options range from a reasonable quick-service restaurant to one of the most upscale (and expensive) restaurants at Walt Disney World. So, we’ve compiled this resort dining guide to help you sort through them. Below, we’ll discuss the resort’s quick-service, pool bars, table service locations, character meals, and signature dining locations.
Disney’s Grand Floridian is unique because it has three fine-dining restaurants. For reference, all the deluxe resorts at Disney have a signature dining location. However, none of them have three!
Grand Floridian Restaurants List
Below, we’ve listed the restaurants at the resort.
- Gasparilla Island Grill
- Grand Floridian Cafe
- 1900 Park Fare
- Narcoossee’s
- Citricos
- Victoria and Albert’s
- Enchanted Rose Lounge
- Beaches Pool Bar
- Courtyard Pool Bar
In-room dining (room service) is also available at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.
Gasparilla Island Grill
Gasparilla Island Grill is the Grand Floridian’s primary quick-service restaurant. Since Grand Floridian is a deluxe resort, it does not have a food court like what you would find at a value or moderate resort. The counter service is usually open daily between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m., serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also have various grab-and-go items and a late-night menu. Items for breakfast include items like:
- Breakfast Platter
- Mickey-shaped Waffles
- Croissant Egg Sandwich
- Various Parfaits
- Oatmeal
You’ll find items like chicken fingers, burgers, flatbreads, and kids’ meals for lunch and dinner. We recently stopped for lunch and had a Cuban sandwich with homemade chips. You can preview current menu items and prices on Disney’s Site or the My Disney Experience app.
Below is a look inside Gasparilla Island Grill. This location accepts mobile orders, which we highly recommend using.

Here’s a photo of a flatbread pizza I mobiled ordered from Gasparilla Island Grill.
The quick service has a specialty coffee menu. They had these options on our last visit:
- Cold Brew
- Expresso
- Espresso Macchiato
- Expresso con Panna
- Americano
- Cappuccino
- Caffe Latte
- Caramel Macchiato
- Cafe Mocha
- Frozen Blended Coffee
Regarding dining, the counter service has a lovely outdoor patio in front of the restaurant.
You might also prefer to dine inside. Both options are pleasant, but dining outside is fun when the weather is pleasant enough.
If you want to learn more, we have a review that includes photos of grab-and-go items, drinks, pastry cases, and other items available on our last visit.

Grand Floridian Cafe
Grand Floridian Cafe is one of our favorite Walt Disney World Resort dining spots. We consider it a hidden gem. The restaurant sits toward the back of the resort’s lobby by the large set of doors that lead outside. This location is open daily for breakfast, lunch, or brunch between 7:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., then closes and reopens for dinner between 5:00 and 9:00 p.m.
One of our favorite things about this restaurant is the combined breakfast and lunch menu available during lunch hours. We love to plan brunch here on a day when we might get a late start. The breakfast menu includes buttermilk-fried chicken and waffles, as well as Lobster Benedict. You can also order a hearty breakfast like The Grand Breakfast or keep it simple with pancakes.

My son, who has food allergies, enjoys having Mickey waffles with sausage and bacon at lunchtime.
Another popular menu item is the cheesy hash brown casserole. So good!

This chilled jumbo shrimp cocktail was out of this world good!
Additionally, we’ve had regular lunch and dinner items at Grand Floridian Cafe. Here is the restaurant’s take on an Impossible Burger. It’s topped with caramelized onions and plant-based smoked gouda and comes with an order of French fries.
Other breakfast items include Brioche French Toast, traditional Eggs Benedict, and Old-Fashioned Pancakes. The entire breakfast menu with prices can be viewed on Disney’s site or in the My Disney Experience app.
One of my all-time favorite menu items is the Miso-glazed salmon. If you’re looking for something healthy, this is a tasty dish. Whether you are staying here as a guest or visiting for a meal, this Grand Floridian restaurant is an excellent option.

1900 Park Fare
1900 Park Fare is the resort’s character dining location. This restaurant is open for breakfast daily between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. It reopens for dinner from 4:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.
Both meals are buffet-style, where characters come to the table while you dine. Characters include Tiana from The Princess and the Frog, Aladdin as Prince Ali, Cinderella, and Mirabel from Encanto. We visited 1900 Park Fare for breakfast recently and enjoyed it. We rank it as one of the best character meals at Disney World.
If you would like to know more, we have an entire review of breakfast at 1900 Park Fare. You’ll want to make sure to have advanced reservations for this experience. It’s been well-received and exceptionally popular.
Narcoossee’s
Narcoossee’s is next to the resort’s boat dock. If you’re traveling to the resort from the Magic Kingdom, the resort’s boat service will drop you off immediately next to it. (See Magic Kingdom Boat Service to Grand Floridian if you’re traveling this route.)
Narcoossee’s is one of three signature dining restaurants at the Grand Floridian. They are typically open daily between 5:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Aside from the food, one of the perks of dining here is that if you time it right, you can enjoy a view of the Magic Kingdom fireworks and Electrical Water Pageant from the restaurant’s deck. The audio for the fireworks is streamed over a speaker system.
A few highlighted menu items include:
- Blackened Redfish
- Roasted Vegetable Paella (Plant-Based)
- Milk-brined Pork Chop
- Plancha-seared scallops and Parisian Gnocchi
- Almond-crusted Cheesecake
- Berry Pavlova
You can preview the entire menu with prices for Narcoossee on Disney’s site or in the My Disney Experience app.
Citricos
Citricos is the second signature dining restaurant at Disney’s Grand Floridian. It was remodeled a few years ago and features an elegant Mary Poppins theme. This location is open daily for dinner service between 5:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. and is off the Grand Floridian’s second-floor lobby.
Additionally, Citricos has a bar and lounge area that takes walk-ups. So, if you have trouble securing a reservation, you might ask if there is room to dine in the lounge. Signature menu items include:
- Oak-grilled 12-oz Prime New York Strip Steak
- Guava Barbecued Short Ribs
- Grilled Pear Char Siu Porcelet Chop
- Praline Coconut Tart
- Profiterole Trio
You can preview the entire menu with prices for Citricos on Disney’s site.
Victoria and Albert’s
Victoria and Albert’s is adjacent to Citricos. This Grand Floridian restaurant is the most exclusive dining experience in the Walt Disney World Resort. Florida’s Michelin Guide awarded it one star, making it worthy of consideration.
Nestled within Disney’s crown jewel, the Grand Floridian Resort, this restaurant is by no means an easy reservation, but the reward is a kind of magic rarely seen these days. The setting is intimate, and the pacing is that of a leisurely, three-hour waltz orchestrated by a gracious brigade of veteran servers.
Guests can choose between three dining options when making reservations:
- The Dining Room
- Queen Victoria Room
- Chef’s Table
As with any experience of this caliber, the menu changes based on the seasonality of food items. Here are a few of the restaurant’s facts and accolades:
- Victoria and Albert’s has been a AAA Five Diamond Award Recipient since 2000
- Chef Scott Hunnel has been a James Beard Foundation award nominee for best chef in the South.
- Victoria & Albert’s is an exquisite and intimate upscale dining experience and the culinary crown jewel of Walt Disney World Resort. Guests are expected to dress in semi-formal/formal attire that respects the restaurant’s elegant and opulent aesthetic.
- Valet parking is available for guests dining at no additional cost.
You can learn more about Victoria and Albert’s on Disney’s website.
Enchanted Rose Lounge
Enchanted Rose Lounge is the formal lounge for Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. With its charming aesthetic, this location has quickly become a favorite.
This Beauty and the Beast-inspired lounge features a mixture of French and Baroque details. A formal bar is centered underneath the light of a chandelier that pays homage to Belle’s yellow evening gown.
The lounge area offers inviting spaces with a charming library-like feel.
Menu highlights include charcuterie, truffle fries, smoked trout and crab dip, and seasonal flatbreads. The current lounge menu with prices can be viewed on Disney’s site.

Beaches Pool Bar
Disney’s Grand Floridian has two pools, each with its own pool bar. The first is the Beach Pool, which is immediately next to the Grand Floridian Villas. Beaches Pool Bar and Grill serves as the pool bar and the resort’s secondary quick service. Their menu contains a variety of items, including:
- Island Chicken Caesar Salad
- Shrimp Sliders
- Chicken Strips
- Artisanal Burger
They also have a few kids’ meal options and a separate outdoor dining area. You can preview their entire menu with prices here on Disney’s site.
Courtyard Pool Bar
The Courtyard Pool is directly behind the resort’s main lobby, and the Courtyard Pool Bar is at the back of the pool. This menu has some items you might find at Gasparilla Island Grill. Since the counter service is only a few steps away, we usually order something from Gasparilla and bring it to the pool.
Here are a few items listed on the current menu:
- Caprese Sandwich
- Gourmet All-Beef Hot Dog
- Italian Sandwich with Chips
You can preview the entire menu with prices here or in the My Disney Experience app. Between Beaches and the Courtyard Pool Bar, guests can enjoy salads, sandwiches, and cocktails. You can also order something from Gasparilla Island Grill.
