Fresh Flavors Land at California Grill at Disney's Contemporary Resort

Some fresh new flavors have arrived at one of Walt Disney World's signature dining locations.

What's Happening:

• The Disney Eats Instagram has shared some new menu items that are now available at California Grill, located at Disney's Contemporary Resort.
• California Grill opened in 1995, replacing the former Top of the World restaurant providing guests with gorgeous panoramic views of the Magic Kingdom and Bay Lake.
• Here's a look at what's new on the menu:
  • Hearth-Steamed Saffron Mussels: Charred leeks, chorizo, potato confit, and persillade

• Artichoke Flatbread: White bean puree, ramp aioli, lemon zest, artichokes, arugula, and California extra virgin olive oil

• Seasonal Flatbread: Chef-inspired creation featuring seasonal ingredients

• Wagyu Strip Loin: Corn, beef tallow-herb fingerling potatoes, grilled green garlic, and salsa macha

• Domestic Lamb: Herb-ricotta gnudi, fava beans, stinging nettles, root spinach, tomato ragù, and red wine jus

• Cioppino: Black bass, clams, shrimp, calamari, mussels, crispy garlic chips, and sourdough croutons

• Seared Market Fish: Wax beans, ancient grains, English peas, Marcona almonds, and Meyer lemon-caper butter sauce

• Celebration of Citrus: Meyer lemon, olive oil-poppy seed cake, blood orange gel, and yuzu curd

• Honeycomb Fizz: Casamigos Blanco Tequila, house-made lemon and honey syrup, peach nectar, and Domaine Carneros Brut

• Maple Bourbon Old Fashioned: Redwood Empire Pipe Dream Bourbon, vanilla maple syrup, Angostura bitters, Luxardo gourmet maraschino cherries with an orange twist

• These new menu additions come as the price for kids to eat at California Grill has gone up three dollars from $39 to $42.
• Adults will still cost $99 each, which is great to see that the dining experience has yet to cross into the 3 digit per person price point.
