Attention Disney World foodies! Are you ready for some grand news, courtesy of Disney Parks Blog? One of Disney World’s best restaurants is making its splashy return to the Seven Seas Lagoon. Located at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Narcoossee’s reopens on April 1, 2023, bringing back a signature waterside dining while debuting totally revamped menu.

Here are all the details you need to know about the return of Narcoossee’s at Disney World, including reservations and a preview of the new menu.

A Refreshed Dining Space

The entire interior of Narcoossee’s has been revamped and enhanced. The design is based on the concept of “land and sea,” while still featuring the same panoramic views guests loved before the restaurant had its lengthy closure.

A Classic Menu, Reimagined

The new menu at Narcoossee’s also is themed to “land and sea.” The menu will feature plenty of brand new culinary creations that bring the best of both surf and turf. However, if you’re a longtime fan of this restaurant, have no fear! Several of Narcoossee’s classic dishes will be back on the menu, with a few enhancements.

Here are some of the culinary highlights that you can expect to tantalize your tastebuds when the restaurant opens in April.

Bread: “Upon sitting down for your meal, you’ll be greeted with a recipe created by Chef Kristine specially for this location – an Artisan Boule of Sourdough made with a perfectly toasty crust and baked daily in the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa bakery.”
