This past February, the family and I went on a four day Disney Cruise to the Bahamas and then spent three nights at Walt Disney World so I could run the Princess Races. We took this opportunity to visit the newest Disney resort and restaurant.
Disney’s Riviera Resort opened on December 16, 2019. It is located between Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Caribbean Beach Resort is right next door and is served by the Disney Skyliner gondola system. It is a Disney Vacation Club Resort with a French and Italian Riviera theme. It is gorgeous. I had plans to stay there in April, but a little old virus ruined that. We plan to head down in October so that I will be doing a full review of the resort at that time. Today I want to talk about Topolino’s Terrace, Disney’s newest restaurant located at the top of the Riviera Resort.
Topolino’s Terrace- Flavors of the Riviera serves both breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is a character meal with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy. Dinner is a bit more upscale. It is a signature dining experience with an Italian and French flair. With the terrace right outside, it is a beautiful place to dine and then watch the fireworks. I have reservations in November for dinner. Right now though, I want to discuss breakfast.
Most character meals we attend for the atmosphere and character meet and greets. The food is okay, and some places are better than others. However, breakfast at Topolino’s was delicious! By far, it was one of the best meals we have had on property in a while. And the characters were adorable!
I forgot to take a photo of the menu, but you can see it here at the Disney Food Blog. To start, we had French Press coffee, chocolate milk, juice, and I had one of their signature cocktails to celebrate my first race of the weekend.
I had a floral mimosa made with elderflower. It was delicious. While everyone was looking at the menu, an assortment of pastries was delivered to the table.
There were seasonal danish, croissants, chocolate chip muffins, Epi-bread, honey butter, jam, and chocolate hazelnut spread. Everything was yummy, and with two growing boys, we polished off two of these.
The menu has nine entrees, ranging from a fruit platter, eggs, quiche, smoked salmon, steak, and more. Of course, for the kids or the picky adults, there are always pancakes or Mickey waffles.
I had a Sour Cream Waffle. It had Roasted Apple, Chantilly, Orange-Maple Syrup, and served with choice of Smoked Bacon, Ham, Sausage, or Plant-based Sausage. It was delicious.
Bill had eggs and bacon. The boys had pancakes.
As we were eating, the characters made their way around to the tables. The characters are dressed as artists from the Riviera.
The service, the character interactions, and the food were excellent. If you are looking for more gourmet breakfast, Topolino’s Terrace is the place. Just beware, you will pay the price. Breakfast is $42.00 per adult and $27.00 per child (ages 2-9).
Oh, and before I forget, check out the view from the terrace! I am looking forward to having drinks here on my next trip.
