To know a little more about what you can find in this restaurant, we prepared this article with everything you need to know about Flying Fish, so that you can make every bite count.

But before we go into every detail I need to say that at the moment this is my favorite restaurant in all of Disney and I was very positively surprised by the quality of the dinner.

It was even there where I ate the best Steak of my life, the meat was deliciously seasoned and perfectly cooked.

By the way, it is worth noting that I constantly eat steak, which makes it even more special.

Check out the tips and include Flying Fish in your trip to Disney.

Disney's Flying Fish Location

The Flying Fish restaurant is located on Disney's Boardwalk.

Disney?s Boardwalk is a kind of ?boardwalk? in a place that houses several attractions and is located behind the Hotel Disney Boardwalk Inn and right next to Epcot.

But, it's not just Disney guests who frequent the place.

Several people who are in other hotels take the opportunity to stroll along the edge of this boardwalk that surrounds a lake, as its name suggests.

It's possible to imagine that the Boardwalk walk alone is already worth it, but a dinner at Flying Fish will be the perfect ending to your day!

Flying Fish environment

Flying Fish's decor is an event in itself and the style is contemporary and sophisticated.

In the latest renovation, Disney stated that its intention was to give the Flying Fish interior a look that celebrates the golden age of waterfront boardwalks.

With stylish architectural lines and clear water motifs, the beauty of the interior is complemented by an impressive chandelier.

The glass chandelier imitates a school of fish, giving the impression that they are flying above us.

Comfortable seating and beautiful carpeting complement the ocean ambiance.

All the decorative details have a touch of sophistication being one of the most beautiful restaurants in the region.

Attendance

One of the biggest differentials between Disney and other companies that deal with the public is the service.

As such, we always expect excellent service when we go to any Disney property.

Even so, the service at Flying Fish goes beyond expectations, even for being a more refined restaurant within the complex of Walt Disney World.

A very important detail is that the restaurant is only open for dinner.

Therefore, it is common for many people to look for a reservation for the end of their days after the park.

However, be aware of the allowed attire, as Flying Fish does not allow tank tops, flip flops and bathing suits.

They even suggest outfits that can include jeans in good condition, excelling in fine sporty pieces such as khaki, capri or dress pants, dress, dress shorts and even a blazer as an optional item.

Opening hours are between 17:00 and 21:30.

Flying Fish food

Flying Fish offers several specialties such as fish, seafood and meat.

Flying Fish serves starters or appetizers, main course, children's options, desserts, and drinks.

As an aperitif, or starter if you prefer, the menu has lobster cream, crab croquettes, mussels, oysters and shrimp, among the seafood options.

However, the main dishes are what really stand out.

I said earlier that it was the best steak I've ever had and the dish I ordered was the Char-crusted New York Strip and everything was completely delicious.

And of course, there are vegetarian options too, like baked tofu with sides.

As in all restaurants, there are options for children with a menu that allows you to create your own dish.

This flexibility is excellent for children, as children especially are not always open to trying new things.

So, you can rest assured that there are also traditional items for children's tastes on the menu at Flying Fish.

In addition to all this, Flying Fish offers a good range of alcoholic beverages and Drinks.

Flying Fish Price

Flying Fish is within the “Signature Dining” category, which are Disney's most refined restaurants.

So it is a restaurant with higher cost.

But there are different price options depending on what you want to order.

A starter and a drink, for example, can be very affordable for the tasting experience, as the standard not only of the service, but also of the food at Flying Fish is excellent.

It is good to be prepared to spend a little more than in a standard restaurant, but you will certainly be satisfied with the enormous quality that the restaurant delivers.

Disney Flying Fish Tips

We recommend booking in advance.

Flying Fish may not be Disney's most popular restaurant, but depending on the season it can be more difficult to make a reservation.

As such, it is not uncommon to go to Flying Fish and find it fully booked.

Secure your table by making a reservation at least two days in advance.

And of course, if you need help with both scheduling and any other on your trip, be sure to hire our travel consultancy!

Another important piece of information is regarding the clothes allowed in the restaurant.

Remember the costumes that are not allowed in the Flying Fish such as bathing suits and tank tops.

All you have to do is arrive, settle in and enjoy the delicious flavors of Flying Fish, one of the best restaurants in Disney World.
