Jiko - The Cooking Place

I’ve really been looking forward to Chico‘s four years as the reviews were phenomenal and it’s one of those places that has always recommended for anyone visiting Disney who likes to experience food. That being said, I was a little disappointed in the quality and flavor profile of the food. I couldn’t greatly differentiate it in terms of quality from something like Boma‘s or what you would get in Park. And comparing it to another similarly styled African ask restaurant Tiffins far outpaces Chico’s in quality of product. The flavors were fine at best. I am a lover of Ethiopian food and Endura and I did feel like the Enjera that was here was a bit of a strange presentation overall and really lacking in anything deep in flavor. Now I will say the presentation was absolutely gorgeous. This pla

We had such an amazing experience at Jiko. The food was absolutely phenomenal, we really enjoyed the fillet mignon and the Halibut, both pictured below. As a starter we got the scallop and pork belly, which while a small portion, packed alot of flavour. Overall, the food was extremely filling and we couldn’t fault it. Service was impeccable and all the staff we interacted with were lovely and very attentive to what we needed I would highly recommend this place as one to visit.

My husband and I have tried all the restaurants at animal kingdom lodge and this is hands down the best one. Upscale and quiet, a beautiful dining room. The bread service was delicious. I tried the filet and my husband tried the lamb shanks and ate everything. The chocolate mousse dessert at the end was also delicious

This place has great ambience and great service. It is beautifully decorated and very spacious and clean. As for the food, I wouldn't recommend this establishment for children. The menu is definitely for the more mature palette. The food was okay but the price point is pretty high so our expectation was for the food to be great. We did have the best server who took care of us and provided us with whatever we needed. I do recommend this place for desserts and adult entertainment.

Cannot recommend this place enough. We had an amazing experience. It started when our hostess gave us a small tour of the restaurant explaining that they had the largest selection of South African wines outside of South Africa explained why it’s called the cooking place as well as a few other fun details before bringing us to our seats. Our waiter was very tentative and kind. The giraffe bread – as they call it was amazing and was served with a delicious flavorful butter. We ordered the tenderloin for an appetizer and it was to die for. It was nit gamey at all and wonderful flavor, I wish I would have just ordered this at for my entrée!! The wine selection was amazing, highly recommend trying some of their South African wines, even if you’re not a wine person. For entrées, we had the Mo
