Where to Eat at the BoardWalk Villas
The BoardWalk Villas has one signature dining restaurant, two table service restaurants, and several quick service locations or food stands. If you have an upcoming stay at the BoardWalk Villas, where should you eat?
Signature Dining
Flying Fish
For seafood fans, dining at Flying Fish is a must-do when staying at the BoardWalk. Whether you order the Chilean sea bass, seafood “frutti di mare,” the classic potato-wrapped red snapper, or plancha-seared scallops, you cannot go wrong. Those who don’t care for seafood will love the slow-roasted pork belly ‘BLT’ appetizer or the char-crusted New York Strip with mille-feuille potato gratin. If you cannot get a reservation, you can also try to find a seat at the bar, which is first come, first served and offers the full menu.
Table Service
Cake Bake Shop
When you’re looking for a restaurant with a beautiful ambiance, it’s hard to beat the Cake Bake Shop. While its decor changes seasonally, the dining room is stunning with elaborate floral arrangements and a whimsical carousel in the center. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and it offers an afternoon tea. On the menu are dishes like quiches, sandwiches, burgers, and of course desserts! From decadent cakes like Gwendolyn’s famous Earl’s court chocolate cake or raspberry champagne cake to pies, macarons, and homemade fudge, there are lots of options to satisfy your sweet tooth.
If you are more interested in just getting a sweet bite to eat, you can also stop by the Cake Bake Shop Bakery next door to the restaurant where you can purchase desserts and coffee to go.
Trattoria al Forno
For Italian fare, head to Trattoria al Forno for breakfast or dinner. The breakfast menu includes brick-oven roasted eggs with fennel sausage, breakfast pizzas, and buttermilk pancakes while the dinner menu includes pizzas, oak-grilled strip steak, lasagna, and chicken parmigiana. As something of a hidden gem, Trattoria al Forno isn’t typically hard to book, but if you can’t get a reservation, you can check the My Disney Experience app to join the walk-up list or to place an order to go.
Lounges
AbracadaBar
Next door to Flying Fish is the magician-themed Abracadabra. Besides specialty cocktails, wine, and beer, the lounge has a small menu of bar snacks from 5pm to 10pm. The menu includes crispy Korean-style wings, lump crab fries, and a tasting of artisan cheeses.
Hurly-Burly
The new Hurly-Burly that is opening on October 1, 2026 will offer trivia, games, and live music, but it will also serve a menu of small bites and beverages. Along with non-alcoholic speciality beverages, cocktails, wine, and beer, you’ll find an all-day menu with small plates like meatballs, antipasto, mini pretzels with bacon-cheese fondue, tomato pie, roast beef sliders, and mini apple cider donuts.
Quick Service
BoardWalk Deli
The main quick service location is the BoardWalk Deli, which is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For breakfast, you’ll find a breakfast bowl with eggs, sausage, potatoes, and bacon as well as several different bagel sandwiches, cinnamon rolls, danishes, and muffins. For lunch and dinner, there are salads and a variety of sandwiches and wraps, including a meatball sub, Italian sub, ham and cheese croissant, roasted turkey sandwich, and grilled cheese.
You can also visit the BoardWalk Deli for your resort refillable mug.
Leaping Libations
Adjacent to the Luna Park Pool is Leaping Horse Libations, the resort’s pool bar. In addition to the standard beer, wine, and cocktails, you’ll find sandwiches and salads and a small selection of snacks such as Mickey pretzels, frozen lemonade, and Mickey ice cream bars. If you have a resort refillable mug, the cast members can help refill them for you here.
Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs
Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs is known for its gourmet corn dogs. You can order a classic dog or try something completely different like the Mexican street dog with jalapeño cheddar cheese, garlic mayo, and corn or the golden dragon dog with panko bread crumbs, sriracha mayo, and sweet Thai chili.
Pizza Window
When you want a late night bite or just want pizza in the middle of the day, the Pizza Window is just past Trattoria al Forno. It serves cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza, side salads, and cannoli.
Carousel Coffee
Conveniently located in the lobby, Carousel Coffee is a good spot to stop for a coffee and a quick bite to eat, such as pastries, yogurt, and fresh fruit. Note that the coffee shop is only open between 6:30am to 3:30pm.
BoardWalk Ice Cream
Along the boardwalk is BoardWalk Ice Cream. The shop serves ice cream, milkshakes, and sundaes. While the Beaches and Cream to go window across Crescent Lake may be more well known, BoardWalk Ice Cream has very similar offerings. The Thundering Surf Peanut Butter and Chocolate Sundae is similar to the Beaches and Cream No Way Jose, and the Mickey Kitchen Sink Sundae is essentially identical to the one at Beaches and Cream.
Snack Stand
This one still doesn’t have an official name, but it can be found along the boardwalk just across from the Village Green. It has limited hours but is typically open in the afternoon with offerings such as popcorn (saltwater taffy, kettle, and cheddar), Mickey pretzels, churros, ice cream bars, and frozen lemonade.
Nearby Dining Options
The beauty of staying at the BoardWalk Villas is that you are walking distance from EPCOT (and all the dining options in World Showcase) as well as dining at nearby resorts such as Cape May Cafe at Beach Club, Ale & Compass and Yachtsman Steakhouse at the Yacht Club, Il Mulino at the Swan, and Rosa Mexicano at the Dolphin. Collectively, there are lots of restaurants to choose from.
