Restaurant at Disney World's Magic Kingdom: A Charming Spot to Dine with a View

As I sipped on my cold glass of prosecco and gazed out the window, I couldn't help but feel like I was in a fairytale. The views of the castle were simply magical, and being cozy inside with a delicious meal only added to the charm. It's always worth asking if they have a table by the window when making your reservation at The Plaza Restaurant.

On a rainy afternoon, my family and I ducked into this charming spot with a walk-up reservation for two. My boys were thrilled to discover that their favorite menu items, including loaded fries, club sandwiches, meatloaf, and cheese steaks, were all on offer. And of course, no meal is complete without a sundae from the ice cream shop next door! For me, the highlight of the menu is the wedge salad and plaza burger – both classic American flavors done to perfection.

The menu may be small, but it's simple and easy to navigate. The Plaza Restaurant serves lunch and dinner, making it a great spot to grab a bite at any time of day. Just be aware that the restaurant is tiny, which can make it challenging to score an advance dining reservation. However, if you do manage to snag one, you'll be rewarded with some of the best views in all of Magic Kingdom.

All seating is located inside, with a few tables set aside for walk-up enjoyment of quick serve food or simply to relax and take in the sights. As you enter The Plaza Restaurant, you'll find yourself right on Main Street, overlooking the iconic castle hub. The early 20th-century style atmosphere adds to the charm, making it easy to get caught up in the magic of Disney.

The Plaza Restaurant is often overlooked, but it's truly a hidden gem at Magic Kingdom. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or just a quick bite with family and friends, this charming spot is sure to delight. So next time you're planning your day at the park, be sure to add The Plaza Restaurant to your itinerary – and don't forget to ask about that table by the window!
