Travel to Animal Kingdom’s Anandapur and experience unique pan-Asian counter service cuisine in an open-air immersive dining environment.
Yak & Yeti Local Food Cafes
Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, this counter service component of Yak and Yeti Restaurant, also known as Local Food Cafes, serves hearty portions of pan-Asian specialties. (P.S. This spot has one of my favorite Counter Service desserts in Disney World!)
Seating is outdoors with some tables under canvas umbrellas. Located close to two of Animal Kingdom’s most popular attractions, Expedition Everest and Kali River Rapids, the Yak and Yeti counter service restaurant can get busy during peak dining times.

So. Good. Mini Mango Pie.
Important Info:
- The special Animal Kingdom Safari Amber beer is served here. Other alcoholic beverages can be found at a special drink window around the corner from the main serving area.
- All seating is outside, so don’t plan on dining here on a rainy day unless you’re in your poncho!

Nosh or Not
Your expedition should make a stop here if…
You want to try one of my favorite Disney desserts EVER. If you haven’t tried the Mini Mango Pie here, you haven’t truly lived.
You need a quick bite between attractions. This is located just a short walk from Expedition Everest and Kali River Rapids. If you have 10 minutes before your next Lightning Lane and need a quick and convenient snack, you know where to go!
You want Asian cuisine, but don’t have the time for a Table Service meal. Yak & Yeti also has a Table Service restaurant; however, you’ll find many of the same flavors as you would inside.
Your expedition should skip this spot if…
No A/C is a dealbreaker. Unfortunately, there’s only outdoor seating here, but most of it is shaded. If you’re looking for an indoor meal, you may want to check the Walk-Up Waitlist at Table Service restaurants in the park.
You want the best Quick Service food in the park. This spot gets the job done, but it’s not the best food you can get in Animal Kingdom. We’d recommend Satu’li Canteen, as they also sell lighter entrees like bowls and salads.
You have picky eaters. This location has a few things that might please a crowd, like the Yeti Cheeseburger, but for the most part, the options here probably aren’t for everyone.
