Dining in the Sky at Walt Disney World
On opening day, I had the opportunity to step inside Toledo – Tapas, Steak & Seafood, the new rooftop restaurant perched atop Gran Destino Tower at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. The moment you step off the elevator, you’re welcomed into a space that feels elegant, imaginative, and unmistakably Disney.
A Rooftop Inspired by Spain
Toledo draws its inspiration from the flavors of Spain, offering a variety of small plates, steaks, seafood, and craft cocktails. The menu embraces bold ingredients and creative combinations, featuring dishes like charred octopus, Rioja-braised chicken, and a bone-in ribeye served with paprika chimichurri.
From tapas to entrées, each dish presents a balance of flavor and artistry—ideal for sharing or savoring solo. For those seeking something refreshing, the Spanish olive oil cake and sangria selections were among the early standouts.
A Space That Feels Like a Dream
The design of the restaurant is every bit as impressive as the menu. Guests dine beneath two sprawling olive trees, tucked under a vaulted ceiling decorated with stained-glass accents and glowing fixtures. The setting evokes the surrealism of Spanish art while remaining warm and welcoming.
Large windows frame panoramic views of Walt Disney World, from fireworks in the distance to the lights of neighboring resorts. It’s a dining experience elevated in every sense of the word.
More Than a Meal—An Experience
What stood out most during opening day was the hospitality. Cast members were eager to share the story behind the space, the inspiration for the menu, and even some details about the unique collaboration between Disney chefs and Spanish culinary traditions.
Whether you’re staying at Coronado Springs or visiting from another resort, Toledo – Tapas, Steak & Seafood makes a perfect addition to any Disney evening. It’s a hidden gem for now—but not for long.
