Jiko -- The Cooking Place

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 menu of international cuisine with African overtones. Dishes, depending on the season, might include Durban shrimp curry, maize-crusted wrekfish with seasonal veggies and a tasty tomato-butter sauce, or oak-grilled filet mignon. An impressive wine list features South African vintages exclusively. Warm colors and diffuse lighting add to the sophisticated atmosphere.
