Disney4me Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 We know that Disney World vacations aren’t cheap! When you are visiting the most magical place on Earth, you don’t want to waste your money on sub-par food. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Even if you decide to splurge on a meal, not all Disney World restaurants are created equal. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your vacation, so we are sharing the most expensive restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom that you should skip (and where you should go instead). Disney’s Animal Kingdom is home to some pretty delicious food! However, there is one restaurant that we think you should most likely skip: Rainforest Cafe. You will be paying a pretty hefty price for mediocre food. Sure, the atmosphere makes you feel like you are eating inside of a rainforest, but we just don’t think the atmosphere makes up for the subpar food. Rainforest Cafe in Disney’s Animal Kingdom This could be a great option if your kids are really excited about it, or you want a highly themed restaurant experience. But, not only can you find Rainforest Cafes at other places, but you can also find MUCH better food at Animal Kingdom. For what you will be paying for a meal at Rainforest Cafe, we really recommend checking out other options. Rainforest Cafe If you are looking for a delicious splurge meal, Tiffins Restaurant might just be the place for you. We will warn you that Tiffins has a high price point for their food, but we have always been impressed with the quality of ingredients and the wonderful service, and we have loved almost everything we have tried here. Tiffins The restaurant is highly themed, and we recommend setting aside a decent chunk of time to enjoy your dining experience. The walls are covered with beautiful artwork, much of which inspired the creation of Animal Kingdom. Plus, the food is unique and delicious. There’s so much to explore! From its famous Tiffins Signature Bread Service to the Tamarind-Braised Short Rib and Chocolate Ganache, there is a lot to explore at this restaurant. While the restaurant does offer a walk-up list when they have availability, we recommend making a reservation in advance! A meal at Tiffins If you are looking for some of the same food served at Tiffins but without needing a reservation, you can head right next door to Nomad Lounge. You can find a variety of the same dishes served at Tiffins in a lounge atmosphere with a beautiful view of the water. Nomad Lounge Eats Or, if you want a restaurant with a slightly lower price point that still serves up wonderful food, we recommend trying Yak & Yeti. Yak & Yeti is an Asian fusion restaurant that combines Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Indian flavors. We are also huge fans of this restaurant and dishes such as its Firecracker Shrimp, Chicken Tikki Masala, Bhaktapur Duck, Yak Attack, and Fried Wontons. Yak & Yeti Eats If you are looking for something quicker or more affordable, there are also some wonderful options at Animal Kingdom. Our two favorites are Satu’li Canteen and Flame Tree BBQ. These are both quick-service restaurants that offer a quick meal for a lower price point. You really can’t go wrong with any of these suggestions, though! Satu’li Canteen Our mouths are definitely watering from talking about all this yummy food at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Don’t mind us; we are just going to make a quick stop by Nomad Lounge.
