Jiko--The Cooking Place

Frommer's Review

The Animal Kingdom Lodge's signature restaurant offers a nice diversion from Disney's more conventional offerings and a complementary addition to the multicultural dining rooms at Epcot's World Showcase. Jiko's show kitchen, sporting two wood-burning ovens, turns out an innovative and creative menu of international cuisine with African overtones. Dishes, depending on the season, might include Durban shrimp curry, broiled filet of Arctic char with braised beetroots and roasted potatoes; or wood-grilled filet mignon. An impressive wine list features South African vintages exclusively. Warm colors and diffuse lighting add to the sophisticated atmosphere.
