The signature restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom lodge Jiko –the cooking place is a fine dining restaurant with a difference. Blending African and American influences Jiko offers diners a menu rich in flavor and versatility. Relax as twin wood-burning ovens roar and the soothing, warm colors of an African sunset bring energy to this remarkable restaurant's comfortable setting. A contemporary, moodily lit dining room showcases some fine African themed architecture and art, and the most comprehensive collection of premium South African wines in the United States. Offerings like Broiled Filet of Arctic Char - with braised beetroots, roasted potatoes, applewood smoked bacon, chick peas, edamame, peppadew vinaigrette or Maize-crusted and Seared Pacific Sturgeon - with vegetables of the moment, tomato butter sauce, and crispy sweet potatoes are examples of the sumptuous original dishes the cooking place serves up. A thoroughly African experience in the heart of the Magical world of Disney.
