It’s no joke—Narcoossee’s is back! Reopening on April 1, 2023, the signature waterfront restaurant at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa returns with a fresh new look and a refined menu that balances classic favorites with inventive new dishes.
A New Look, A Familiar Charm
Narcoossee’s now features a refreshed interior inspired by the harmony of land and sea, aligning with its waterside location. The updated space enhances the restaurant’s signature panoramic views while offering a modern coastal design rooted in Victorian charm.
A Meal That Begins with Bread at Narcoossee’s reopens April 1
Your dining experience begins with Chef Kristine Farmer’s Artisan Boule of Sourdough, served warm and baked daily in the Grand Floridian’s bakery. This handcrafted bread sets the tone for a meal filled with detail and depth.
Starters That Spark the Senses
Longtime guests will be delighted to hear that our signature Bisque has returned, now accompanied by an elegant tableside presentation. But new options await as well.
- The Beef and Ricotta Tortelloni arrives with brown butter, parsnip purée, and sultana raisins.
- The Ocean-inspired Charcuterie Board features ahi tuna pastrami, charred octopus, and house-made seafood sausage. Each bite reflects the personality of a different chef from the Narcoossee’s culinary team.
Seafood, Plant-Based, and Land-Loving Mains
Chef Noah Estabrook’s Blackened Redfish is a standout. It’s served with chorizo-sunchoke hash, sweet corn, and red pepper rouille. The signature blackened spice blend is a closely guarded kitchen secret passed down through generations of chefs.
Other highlights Narcoossee’s reopens April 1 include:
- Roasted Vegetable Paella (plant-based) with market vegetables and preserved artichoke
- Dry-Aged Pork Ribeye Chop with goat cheese potato pavé and fig jus
