If you could only eat at 2 WDW restaurants...?

I'm trying to really narrow down what everyone considers the "best of the best" for WDW restaurants.

So if you could only eat at 2 table service restaurants in WDW on your trip, what would you choose and why?

Thanks for the suggestions!

Re: If you could only eat at 2 WDW restaurants...?

I would choose....

LeCellier because the food is really good! The atmosphere is nice, our service has always been excellent. Canada is a beautiful country, as well.

O'Hana's because the food is really good! hehehe The Poly is just so gorgeous and if you eat late enough you can watch WISHES from your table!!! Also, the entertainment is really fun.

If you wanted to do a breakfast the one at the Cape May Cafe' at the Boardwalk or Beach Club?? (I can't remember ) is really fun! All of the characters (Minnie, Goofy, Chip and Dale) are dressed in bathing suits and beach-wear. The food is always really good to!! Then you can walk right over to Epcot!

Re: If you could only eat at 2 WDW restaurants...?

That is REALLY hard! I would choose 'Ohana during the MK fireworks time; the food is good, watching the fireworks there rocks, and it always has a fun atmosphere.

My second choice would probably be Liberty Tree to get the characters in. Just my opinion that Liberty Tree has always felt less rushed & has better food than other character meals like Chef Mickey's or Crystal Palace.

Then again... I could choose Le Cellier, Teppanyaki, or Spoodles in the same breath.

hehe, you are askin' the WRONG person

Re: If you could only eat at 2 WDW restaurants...?

I'm with Wish, there are just too many good ones to narrow it down to just two. I'd say:

'Ohana
Crystal Palace
Whispering Canyon Cafe
Le Cellier
Teppanyaki

Oh wait, that's more than two, isn't it?

Re: If you could only eat at 2 WDW restaurants...?

Well, I'll go with the assumption that money isn't an object here.

My 2 faves are:
- Portobello Yacht Club at DTD (somewhat pricey, but actually less expensive that Alfredo's at Epcot.)
- Narcoossee's at GF (pricey)

Portobello's is the real deal. Living in Boston, we're spoiled with some of the best Italian restaurants in the country. Portobello's is a moderately upscale restaurant with excellent service, a quality and varied menu and generally a great place to eat. The Vino con Frutta (sangria) is wonderful, especially at the end of a long day in the parks. The dessert menu is wonderful as well.

Narcoossee's is Disney Fine Dining. It can be romantic, but it can also be good for a small group of 6 or 7. The drink menu is wide, the dinner menu is spectacular and the service is professional and very friendly. The food is amazing. Some of the best food that I've had.. anywhere, not just at Disney. But it all comes with a pretty steep price tag.

So, if money WERE an object...

I'd probably replace Narcoossee's with Marrakesh. Marrakesh has terrific food, excellent service and ENTERTAINMENT. It's a great place to relax with a nice dinner in the parks.

I agree...Le Cellier & Ohana are our 2 favorites!

Re: If you could only eat at 2 WDW restaurants...?

Artist Point and.... 'Ohana, I suppose, for the atmosphere. But the truth is that I'd skip the second TS and go straight to the CS Tangierine Cafe for my second choice.

Re: If you could only eat at 2 WDW restaurants...?

This is hard, but if I have to make a choice it would be the California Grill because I love the view, the service, and the food, and Teppanyaki in Japan at Epcot because I just always have a great time time there.

Re: If you could only eat at 2 WDW restaurants...?

I am sure my answer will be different in about 5 minutes, but here you go:

1. Jiko - fantastic food, a bit different than anywhere else.
2. Flying Fish - just wonderful, great atmosphere, wonderful food

Really, right now, I would love Kona Cafe for breakfast. I could do with some Eggs Benedict and a tall glass of Lilikoi juice right about now.

Re: If you could only eat at 2 WDW restaurants...?

I would have to say Le Cellier, again, because the food is awewome and maybe Crystal Palace. I love everything there and the fact that it is all you can eat just highlights it!!
