Elegantly themed yet casual enough for families to dine all day long, the Grand Floridian Cafe is a table service restaurant that’ll please anyone who enjoys comfort food. With a menu of American classics, a view of the rose gardens and pool at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, and reasonable pricing, it’s a great middle-ground option at this elevated Deluxe Resort.
Grand Floridian Cafe Location
You’ll find the Grand Floridian Cafe inside the main building of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, on the first floor. It’s tucked away in something of a corner of the building, near the path that’ll lead you to the marina, Narcoossee’s, and Gasparilla Grill.
Grand Floridian Cafe Menu
Though the elegant Victorian-inspired dining room of the Grand Floridian Cafe might make it feel like it’s home to upscale food, it’s actually all about American comfort food. Here, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are filled with staples like steak and eggs, waffles, burgers, sandwiches, and fried chicken.
If you’re someone who loves brunch, good news: This table service dining spot serves brunch most of the day. While it’s open as early as 7:30 AM, only brunch is served until 2:00 PM. However, that really just means you can enjoy non-breakfast foods all day long (a perk if you prefer something other than eggs or pancakes).
When it comes to dining with kids at the Grand Floridian Cafe, it’s easy to satisfy appetites of any size – including picky eaters. With a mix of options that are both fun and traditionally a hit with kids of all ages, the kids’ menu here offers plenty of choices.

Disney Dining Plan
You can use credits from the Disney Dining Plan – but not the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan – at Grand Floridian Cafe.
Since this is a table service restaurant, it’ll cost one table service meal credit per person to dine here.
Advance Dining Reservations
Like all of Disney World’s table service restaurants, Grand Floridian Cafe does offer advance dining reservations (ADRs). It’s recommended that you make one ahead of your planned visit.
However, while most Disney World restaurants see their reservations snapped up as soon as the booking window opens, you should have an easier time getting a table at Grand Floridian Cafe. Since it’s not one of the most in-demand dining establishments, odds are you’ll find more flexibility in the ADRs available here (even if you’re booking a bit more last-minute).
Is Grand Floridian Cafe Kid-Friendly?
You’ll have little to worry about when dining at the Grand Floridian Cafe with kids. This table service restaurant is absolutely kid-friendly. Despite its fancier theming, it’s quite casual – which means you can relax about keeping kids quiet or on their best manners – and the menu is filled with crowd-pleasing dishes that won’t stress out parents of picky eaters.
Plus, while dining at the Grand Floridian overall can be a costly adventure, the Grand Floridian Cafe is a good middle-of-the-road option price wise. It’s cheaper than many other restaurants at this resort, barring quick-service places like the pool bars or Gasparilla Island Grill.
