Have a special occasion coming up? You may be interested in dining at the luxurious Citricos located inside the fabulous Grand Floridan Resort and Spa at Walt Disney World. You’ll find Citricos on the second floor of the Grand Floridian. It’s off of the main atrium and tucked behind Victoria and Albert’s, so you know to expect big things from this restaurant.

A look inside Citricos.
Here you notice that you get more breathing room between tables and it has a nice bright and airy feel. It’s a relief because often at Disney restaurants the tables are crammed super close together to seat as many guests as possible.

Citricos overlooks the grounds of the resort, we were seated next to the window overlooking the pool and gardens.

Citricos Dishes
The following is a couple of the featured dishes on their menu.
Bell & Evans Chicken served with Fregula Pasta, Mushrooms, Spinach, Sun-dried Tomato Pesto, Chicken Jus.
My husband ate this one, he loved the chicken but wasn’t as crazy about the pasta that comes on the side. It definitely had some unique flavors from your standard dish but I loved it.
Red Wine-braised Beef Short Ribs served with Polenta, Exotic Mushrooms, Root Spinach, Pickled Cipollini, Gremolata
This is the best dish on the menu! It was recommended by our waiter and I took her advice! The beef literally melts in your mouth it’s so tender and the sauce!! Ah! I am already drooling and can’t wait to get back there to have this one again.
Warm Chocolate-Banana Torte
This Warm Chocolate Banana Torte is topped with a house made Belgian Chocolate Crown. Be warned this dessert is rich! But still so chocolatey delicious!! I just wished there was more ice cream that came with it, my tip would be to ask for some extra when you order it.
Citricos Recommendation
This is high on my list of date night recommendation list. I wouldn’t bring the kids here it definitely is a quieter atmosphere with some fancy food and doesn’t really cater to young guests as well as other options. We have consistently had stellar service when we visited, in fact, I think we have had the same waiter each time (what are the odds?!). Our first time here we had the filet and were underwhelmed. The second time we visited, we were blown away when we ventured to other items on the menu. We will stick to eating our filet over at the California Grill!

I have been visiting the parks annually since my parents first brought me at just a year old. Recently I was able to fulfill my life long dream of being a Florida local and moved from the wintery Northeast to the sunshine and fun of central Florida. Now I am hoping to share my Disney knowledge with you so you can have the best vacation possible!
