Now this is going to be one yummy post.  We had some good food at this park.  We only had one quick service meal here this time in the Land pavillion.  We went to Sunshine Seasons Food court on our first full day and just like last time it was delicious.  Now ordering can be a bit overwhelming but don’t be afraid to talk with the chef.  It was a rather hot day when we visited and I wanted some protein but nothing too heavy.  After talking to the chef I got a fresh made chicken ceasar salad.  Throw in a drink and some Enjoy Life cookies along with some air conditioning and I was content.  I was also distracted and failed to take a photo.  Sigh.

We also had a lunch and dinner at table service locations in Epcot.  We ended our first day at the Disney parks with a Character Dining Experience.  We did the princess dinner at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall.  When I made this reservation I was fully expecting to have a buffet as our first dinner, and if I am perfectly honest I was not looking forward to it.  I was pleasantly surprised when there was no buffet and appetizer trays were brought to our table instead along with an allergy card.  Our server explained which items I could eat but left the card so that I could have a reference as I nibbled.  Plus, this was the first time that I have ever been brought my own personal basket of warm rolls.  Those two things brought a smile to my face that remained there through out dinner.  The princesses were lovely but the food great.  Each of the items that I tried from the appetizer tray was delicious.  Then came my dinner which was red wine braised beef. The beef was melt in your mouth delicious.  For dessert I wanted something light and chose the raspberry sorbet which was tangy like freshly picked berries.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We managed to get seated third for lunch at The Coral Reef restaurant and scored a table right beside the tank.  We were given cards with fish information on them and that helped to keep the girls entertained until the food arrived.  First came the warm rolls and as with all of the other meals on this trip I ate both of them because warm rolls with melting butter is just so darn tempting.  Plus, this was not plain butter.  I was brought my own plate of butter that was dusted with black sea salt.  Because we were sitting right beside the tank, my lunch choice was obviously fish.  White rainbow trout with some sort of puree(beans and potatoes I think) and crisp green beans.  I have to tell you that I have never seen white rainbow trout before so it was a bit of a surprise when I was not served pink fish.  That said, the fish was delicious.  After the mains were cleared it was time for dessert.  I opted for the Chocolate Wave and was not disappointed.  It really was a wave of chocolatey goodness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our table service dinner was at San Angel Inn which is situated inside the Mexico Pavillion.  Imagine sitting on a terrace lit by lanterns at the foot of an Aztec pyramid with a volcano erupting in the distance and you will have the ambiance of the restaurant.  I should warn you that the tables are a bit close together but this is more than made up for by the food.  This meal was sheer flavour.  When we got up from the table, my taste buds were still dancing with happiness.  When we sat down we were brought gluten free chips and two types of salsa.  The red one tasted to be a salsa made with roasted red peppers while the green, which was our favourite, tasted of fresh tomatillos.  Thankfully the girls were too busy taking everything in to be bothered with the chips so Glenn and I got to indulge.  I have posted two entrees below because there were so many gluten free options.  The one with shrimps was Katrine’s choice.  She finished it all but I wasn’t able to taste it given my shellfish allergy. They were very accomodating and put the spicy diablo sauce on the side for my mild child.  My choice was a pork in a roasted green sauce on top of corn puree and melted cheese.  It had the right amount of sauce and spicy.  Combined with my margarita I was in heaven.  For dessert, I chose the caramel ice cream and my mouth yet again went into raptures.  If we ever manage to get back to Disney, we will definetely be eating here.
