Raglan Road Takes Orlando Magazine's 2014 Best Restaurant Award

The results are out for Orlando Magazine's 2014 Dining Awards and some of our favorite Disney restaurants put in a strong showing amongst the honored. The publications readers were surveyed in 61 different dining categories with the top three in each group being published as winners.

It may be no surprise to Disney fans but Downtown Disney's Raglan Road walked away with the top honors and the coveted "Best Restaurant" title.

What put it up there? It could be the unique space of authentic Irish Pubs and restaurants built entirely in Ireland, disassembled and shipped "lock, stock, and beer barrel" to Downtown Disney. Perhaps it's the fantastic live music and Irish dancers that entertain the crowds. Maybe it had something to do with charming Chef Kevin Dundon, and his daily influence that brings traditional recipes together with farm-fresh ingredients to make creative and delicious modern Irish Food. I can even believe that it's the spectacular Rollicking Raglan Sunday brunch, the "Host the Roast" feasts or the special event dinners held several times a year by Chef Dundon himself. Regardless of the "why" simple fact is that the readers of Orlando Magazine couldn't agree more, Raglan Road is the 2014 restaurant of the year.





Doesn't that brunch look fun! Fact is though, Raglan Road isn't the only Disney dining experience that's holding its own amongst Orlando's culinarians. The following Disney restaurants also earned their spots amongst the honored, and most of the Disney veterans in our member forum would agree because these eateries are included again and again in the lists of fan favorites.
