Jiko The Cooking Place

The short rib was outstanding—tender and bursting with flavor. The filet was cooked perfectly, and the mac and cheese served alongside was fantastic. Stacy provided excellent service throughout our meal. The Animal Kingdom Lodge is a stunning location! Price per person: $50–100. Food: 5/5. Service: 5/5.

A tip: try to arrive a bit early (or linger after your meal if it's still daytime) to explore the property. Animal Kingdom Lodge is stunning, and you can see some of the safari animals outdoors. Be sure to ask your server about the symbols in the restaurant, such as the rings on the columns and the Kanu birds scattered throughout. Vegetarian options: As with any Disney restaurant, there are vegetarian choices available. Dietary restrictions: Disney restaurants take dietary restrictions and allergies seriously. You can indicate your allergies in the Disney app upon check-in or inform your server. You will receive a special menu that provides detailed ingredient information. Parking: Since this is located inside Animal Kingdom Lodge, if you're dining here, let them know you have a reservation, and they'll grant you access without a parking fee. Kid friendliness: While they do have kids' menus, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this restaurant as a top choice for young children.
