Our meals at the Rose and Crown: I had the grilled NY strip steak and fried fish with Yorkshire pudding, beans and mashed potatoes, and Leanne and Harry had the shepherd’s pie with lamb in it. We all enjoyed the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. The whole meal was very enjoyable. We’d definitely go back to this restaurant.
Our table at the Rose and Crown in Epcot’s UK pavilion had a great view. Harry had lots of fun colouring (and he enjoyed the food too).
Inside the California Grill, first in the waiting lounge and then at our table. What a beautiful view! The boy did wake up eventually when a noisy little princess at the table beside us neglected to use her inside voice. It was a good thing though because he wouldn’t have wanted to miss sampling the delicious food, especially dessert! Great friendly service too, by the way. Our waiter was from Morocco I saw on his name badge.
I had the bison tenderloin with baby brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. Leanne had the Alaskan halibut with parsnip “silk” (puree) and both yellow and red beets. For dessert I had the sundae sampler (caramel sundae, root beer float and banana split) and Leanne had the warm homemade banana fritters with caramel, chocolate, and peanut butter dips. Harry loved the fritters. They were kind of like relief sale tea balls but banana flavoured. Overall the food was great but the portions were small and the price was crazy expensive.
Inside the California Grill. $150 for two of us. Little Harry was sound asleep when we checked in so they let us bring him to the table in his stroller. It was a great break.
Harry loved Ohana’s and so did I
We had a wonderful dinner tonight at Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian resort. It was all you can eat. They started off with sweet bread and butter followed by lettuce wraps then pork dumplings and chicken wings. Then came the skewers of steak (medium rare), shrimp and pork. Everything was cooked on a huge open fire grill and was served to us right from the massive skewers. There was also a noodle and vegetable course. Little Harry got a special macaroni and cheese dish which was free but he like sampling all the other wonderful food as well. Everything was cooked wonderfully. It was so hard to force ourselves to save room for later courses. The whole time they had a Hawaiian lady walking around singing and playing her ukelele. She also got all the little kids involved with playing a game involving pushing coconuts across the room with brooms. Then they did some hula dancing and little Harry almost participated. He and his mother got a lei though anyway.
Service was excellent. Servers were constantly trying to bring us more food. They were great with little Harry too.
We will definitely be going there again on our next trip, which won’t be until about 2022, but that’s a different story.
Finally, we had dessert which consisted of bread pudding with coconut banana sauce and ice cream. Little Harry got his own little bowl of ice cream too. Which he ate with a spoon by himself. Wow was he a mess.
All in all, Harry was really good throughout the entire meal until we took his empty ice cream dish away in order to clean him up. That was the only time he really protested.
Dining at Les Chefs de France: French onion soup, beef tenderloin and short ribs, with pineapple, mango and coconut sorbets for dessert. Remy the rat from Ratatouille came to visit our table!
We ate supper at Tusker House, a buffet style restaurant with mostly African food. (They had a few American dishes like corn dogs and mac’n’cheese for the kids.) The buffet area looks like an African marketplace! We enjoyed the curry chicken, mango chutney, seafood stew, couscous, plantains, roast beef, pork loin, samosas, and of course, the dessert table! The warm banana bread pudding with vanilla sauce (their specialty) was very good.
