Disney’s Riviera Resort is one of the most stylish spots at Walt Disney World, and it has dining options to match.
The Mediterranean-themed resort, styled and inspired by the French and Italian Riviera, has highly recommended dining experiences for guests.
So, whether you're sipping a beverage in a cool lounge or indulging in Italian cuisine atop a rooftop terrace, this resort will certainly cater to your needs.
Riviera has two restaurants - one is table service, the other quick service - as well as a patisserie/coffee shop, and a bar.
Here, we take a closer look at the dining experiences available at the Riviera Resort.
Topolino’s Terrace
Perched high above the resort on the 10th floor, Topolino’s Terrace – Flavours of the Riviera is Riviera’s crown jewel.
In the morning, it is home to a very popular and artistic Disney character breakfast.
At Topolino, guests will be joined by Disney characters Mickey and Minnie Mouse, as well as Daisy and Donald Duck, with each character dressed with unique artistic flair - Mickey is a painter, Minnie a poet, Donald is a sculptor and Daisy is a ballerina.
It's a fixed-price, indulgent breakfast that includes Quiche Gruyère, Sour Cream Waffles, plus Steak & Eggs.
The character breakfast is not the cheapest, but is in line with similar meals around Disney World property. For adults, it is $52 each (before tax and tip), and for children, the price is $33 each.
By night, the atmosphere at Topolino shifts to romantic rooftop elegance.
The Mediterranean-French-Italian menu includes handmade pasta, fresh seafood, and entrées like Pork Belly Pappardelle and Filet Mignon. Dinner is a la carte, with entrees typically priced between $30 and $60 each.
At night, the highlight attraction is the rooftop view of the nearby EPCOT fireworks.
