California Grill - Contemporary Resort

My absolute favourite restaurant ever! I do have a love affair with the Contemporary resort which I cannot explain, especially when it was once described as the place where the Goodyear blimps came to mate

However I digress, a great restaurant with great food on top of a great resort Happy me

The refurb has been done really well and the restaurant looks fab.





However stop the press... the napkins have changed from green to ORANGE!

Boatwrights - Port Orleans Riverside



We ate here last year for the first time and loved the food and atmosphere. Unfortunately we timed it badly as Yehaa Bob Jackson was on in the River Roost lounge and it was so loud it spoiled the atmosphere. I know many, many people love Bob but it really is not our cup of tea... so this time we made sure we went on a night he wasn't performing so we could have a nice quiet drink in the lounge after the meal.

Eat around the World (kind of) - Epcot, World Showcase

We had a small selection of meals and snacks around World Showcase. We try this every year but end up being too full to finish it! lol
In a couple of years when we don't have to go in school holidays we will be able to do it properly with the Food and Wine festival

First stop was Germany


Currywurst

Nothing like the real Currywurst in Berlin unfortunately. I will have to wait to go back to Berlin to get the real thing.


Next stop, Japan; Katsura Grill

This was really nice, it was kind of like a spicy stew with rice. Would be amazing on a cold winter night, not 100 degree heat and 100% humidity! lol

$9.99

The world (or Dibb famous) Cronut... I mean Croissant doughnut. OMG this was sooooo good, it was a little doughy but had a crispy shell and lovely flavour.

We also had some goodies from Karamell-Küche and an ice cream from l'artisan des glaces but they were so amazing I forgot to take a photo! Must try harder next time
