"A globally influenced Magic Kingdom restaurant with flavorful dishes nodding to South American, Asian, and African foodways; highlights include heart-healthy fish and seafood options such as a gluten-, egg-, and milk-free tuna tiradito in ají amarillo broth, a gluten- and lactose-free Nile Nellie’s Noodle Bowl with stir-fried shrimp and tamarind sauce, and a curried vegetable stew with coconut rice for vegetarians." - ByKarla Walsh
"There are plenty of mediocre restaurants in the Magic Kingdom that are worth visiting just for the atmosphere or the fireworks views. Jungle Navigation Co. is the rare place that’s beautifully themed and has some of the best food in this park. Whatever sustainable fish they have is a great choice for a protein-heavy meal, which you’ll need after logging 10,000 steps running around to make the most out of your Lightning Lanes. We also love the falafel or curried vegetable stew for some vegetarian options, which can be hard to find in this park." - carina finn koeppicus, anne cruz
"Often overlooked in favor of princess-themed meals, this Adventureland table-service option features Asian- and African-influenced dishes such as rice noodles and curried vegetable stew alongside favorites like fried chicken and hanger steak, all served with Jungle Cruise flair. It frequently has reservations or walk-up availability when other Magic Kingdom table-service restaurants do not, and it's one of the few places in the park that serves alcoholic beverages." - Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes is a senior editor at Travel + Leisure, covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products.
