Disney Springs is Disney World’s entertainment, shopping, and dining district. Formerly known as Downtown Disney, a major renovation doubled the retail and restaurant options in this bustling area!
Disney Springs is divided into four distinct neighborhoods: Town Center, Marketplace, The Landing, and the West Side. You’ll find everything from chain restaurants and quick-service snacks to elaborate table-service menus, and several restaurants combine dining and entertainment, such as live music and spectacular theming.
We’ve dined at EVERY Disney Springs restaurant. These are THE BEST.
Marketplace
B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co. is a food kiosk that features artisan sausages.
Dockside Margaritas is the place to grab a margarita (or a local brew or wine, if you prefer) while enjoying a waterfront view.
Earl of Sandwich creates signature sandwiches with custom-made sauce, fresh ingredients, and artisan breads. This counter-service establishment also serves breakfast.
eet by Maneet Chaunan — the James Beard Award-winning chef and Food Network star, together with hospitality entrepreneur Vivek Deora — serves creative, modern twists on Indian cuisine in Quick Service fashion!
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain offers both fantastic ice cream and wonderful chocolate options for guests looking to indulge their sweet tooth.
Marketplace Snacks is a window counter serving up fast favorites such as Bubble Waffles!
Rainforest Cafe includes an extensive menu and an interactive rainforest theme. While it is not terribly different from the version outside the Animal Kingdom (as well as many other worldwide locations), it can provide a fun dining option in Disney Springs. Guests can also enjoy a limited menu and drinks at the connecting Lava Lounge.
Starbucks at Disney Springs Marketplace serves up the same favorite Starbucks beverages that you enjoy at home. While there are a few snacks and sandwiches available, it is primarily a walk-up window, and the food selection is not as extensive as that at the Starbucks in Disney Springs West Side.
Sunshine Churros is a small kiosk serving up variations on the classic treat you’ll find in the parks, with flavors like watermelon, Oreo, and more! (Note that there is an additional location on the West Side.)
Swirls on the Water specializes in the iconic soft-serve treat, DOLE Whip, served up in a variety of flavors and fashions!
T-Rex Cafe is similar to the Rainforest Cafe, except with a dinosaur theme. Like the Rainforest Cafe, it has a large menu and an interactive — if somewhat loud — atmosphere.
Watch for seasonal events such as Flavors of Florida!
The Landing
The BOATHOUSE is a high-end restaurant with a culinary focus on steaks and seafood. While the food is the star of the show, guests can also enjoy live music and even tour the Village Lake in an Amphicar (for an additional fee).

Gideon’s Bakehouse was already famous with Orlando locals for its decadent, nearly half-pound (!!!) cookies even before it opened its flagship location in Disney Springs. You’ll find fully loaded cookies, cake slices, and specialty coffees on the menu, all served up in a uniquely storied setting.

Charming outdoor bars in the Raglan Road complex include Paddy’s Bar and Hole in the Wall Bar.
Six Ravens will open later this year. Steve Lewis, the founder of the mega-popular Gideon’s Bakehouse, announced this new location in January 2026. The menu will feature all-new offerings, including hand pies that Six Ravens calls Coffyns — housemade yeast rolls complete with fillings created in partnership with other Central Florida chefs.
