Jiko – The Cooking Place – Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

Jiko is one of our favorite restaurants at Disney World, and honestly, it doesn’t get enough love. Located in Animal Kingdom Lodge, Jiko brings a unique and elevated take on African-inspired cuisine, all in a stunning, warm, and cozy setting.

The real standout here is the oak-grilled filet mignon with a red wine demi-glace and mac & cheese.

It’s a legendary dish for a reason. Pair it with one of their exceptional South African wines, and you’ve got yourself a meal that’s well worth the splurge.

Also, do not skip the bread service. It’s a must-order.

Must-Try Splurges at Disney Restaurants

Sauce Flight – Le Cellier Steakhouse

Le Cellier is known for its incredible steaks, but if you really want to take your meal to the next level, you have to get the sauce flight.

Instead of choosing just one sauce for your steak, you get to sample multiple options – from truffle butter to béarnaise to peppercorn sauce.

It might seem like a small upgrade, but trust us – it’s a game-changer. If you’re already splurging on a steak at Le Cellier, the sauce flight is an easy (and totally worthwhile) add-on.
