Tiffins Restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom has introduced several new dishes, including bao buns, a bread service, desserts, and sorbets. A recent review by Disney Food Blog tasted these additions and offered mixed feedback on flavors and portions. The restaurant remains a recommended spot for a relaxing meal amid park visits.
Tiffins Restaurant, located in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, recently added new menu items that a Disney Food Blog review team sampled. The Korean Barbecue Pork Belly Bao Buns, priced at $16, feature pickled cucumber, green papaya slaw, and cilantro. Reviewers noted the flavors combined well but lacked intensity, with juicy pork belly marred by some dry areas and insufficient filling, though the slaw provided crunch and texture added appeal as a savory option. The Tiffins Signature Bread Service costs $20 and includes Pão de Queijo with guava sauce, described as fresh and flavorful—the team’s favorite; onion kulcha naan with coriander chutney, where the chutney delivered a kick despite mellow onions; and Thai curry milk bread with coconut-curry sauce, praised for its strong spice that lingers. For desserts, the African Pot de Crème at $13 combines chocolate pot de crème, Ethiopian coffee, ras el hanout, pineapple, pistachio, and a chocolate cookie. The thick chocolate base was challenging to spoon but rewarding, topped with a light airy cake, a crunchy tiramisu-flavored cookie, and salty crumbles. The Caramel Flan, $14, offers cardamom-scented caramel and vanilla chantilly, with a bouncy texture and oozy sauce softened by the cream, though not a standout. The plant-based Seasonal Sorbet Trio, $11, features Strawberry Pink Peppercorn—rich and fresh; Blueberry Yuzu with Shisho Sugar—icy and floral; and Apricot Orange Pistachio—tart, smooth, with balanced nutty crunch. While the reviewers expressed uncertainty about fully embracing these changes, they affirmed Tiffins as a worthwhile reservation for a restful dining experience during a busy Animal Kingdom day.
