Jiko
Visit hungry, as there's lots to try. Begin your meal with a light flatbread, then follow with one of Jiko's interesting appetizers--we can heartily recommend the Artisan Cheeses and Pokanoket Farm Seared Ostrich Filet.
There are several fascinating entrees to try (see the Jiko menu in the gallery below), but we were very pleased with our Jiko specialties: Fliet Mignon (paired with macaroni and cheese) and coffee-braised short ribs. Jiko has also just introduced a new vegetarian menu with lots of choices!
For dessert, again there are several to try--including chocolate cheesecake and Jiko's signature pistachio creme brulee with a chocolate base. I have to suggest the incredible house-made lemon curd with blueberries and vanilla shortbread.
Don't forget that you can call room service at Animal Kingdom Lodge to have signature specialties from Jiko's menu delivered to your room! Enjoy.
