As Walt Disney World winds down its 50th anniversary celebrations, the California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort ends its special 50th menu and debuts a new 3-course prix fixe menu for guests to enjoy.
The Menu
Chef de Cuisine Matthew Birch and his culinary team at California Grill have created a new menu featuring contemporary, market-inspired cuisine.
The first course features choices including salad, sushi, or Market Inspiration appetizer dishes like the Black Truffle Pizza (seen in the above photo), Braised Beef Short Rib Wontons, or Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli.
The main course features hearty fare like Fire-roasted Venison, Florida Black Grouper, Cast Iron-grilled Pork Tenderloin, Wagyu Strip Loin, or the Oak-fired Filet of Beef. There’s even a Saffron Risotto for those who want a plant-based dish.
Finally enjoy a sweet treat to end the meal. Choices include Meyer Lemon Chiffon Cake, the plant-based Peanut and Banana Torte, and the Citrus Crème Brûlée (which can be made with or without alcohol). Not feeling like something sweet? You can also choose a Chef’s Selections of California Cheeses.
The Details
The new prix fixe menu is priced at $89 per adult, plus tax and gratuity. Those 21 and older can add on a signature wine pairing for $39 or a Deluxe wine pairing for $69. A la carte cocktails and other beverages are available.
Children Ages 3-9 are $39 each, plus tax and gratuity, which includes an entree, two sides, and dessert from a special menu.
Reservations are a must at the in-demand California Grill, and can be made up to 60 days in advance via the My Disney Experience app, or online.
There is a 2 hour cancellation policy. You must cancel at least 2 hours prior to the dining reservation time to avoid a $10 per person cancellation fee.
