Wine Bar George is located in Disney Springs, which is a great spot to grab a meal.
I’ve been visiting Disney World for over 25 years, and after dining at dozens of restaurants across the property, Wine Bar George is a clear favorite.
It’s located in the Landing area of Disney Springs, and I love that I don’t have to fuss with making a park reservation or buying a ticket to get into Disney’s shopping, dining, and entertainment district.
The restaurant is just off the lake that separates Disney Springs from Saratoga Springs Resort.
There are great views of the water and surrounding area from the beautiful second-floor dining rooms.
You don’t have to be a big wine drinker to enjoy Wine Bar George.
The restaurant also has a fantastic cocktail menu, featuring everything from a classic red sangria to frozen cocktails with Dole Whip.
One of my go-to cocktails is the Wake Up Call ($15), which is a fresh take on an espresso martini. It starts with espresso-infused Barsol Pisco that’s mixed with Caffe Borghetti espresso liqueur.
It’s perfectly balanced with a strong coffee flavor that pairs great with brunch or as an after-dinner drink.
The food for brunch, lunch, and dinner is better than most restaurants at Disney.
Wine Bar George serves lunch and dinner on weekdays and brunch and dinner on weekends.
I’m all for eating meals with Mickey Mouse on a Disney vacation. But it’s nice to return to Wine Bar George where the food is more elevated.
Brunch is served on the weekend.
Brunch at Wine Bar George can be a boozy affair for adults looking to spend a morning away from the theme parks.
It serves everything from brioche French toast ($17) to avocado toast topped with creamy burrata ($22).
Lunch is my favorite meal at Wine Bar George.
Although the brunch menu is fantastic, it’s not my favorite time to dine at the restaurant. Lunch is cheap, and it’s usually pretty easy to get a reservation.
There’s a host of small plates like macaroni-and-cheese bites ($13) and a hummus plate ($14), which are nice to share with friends and family.
Lunch entrées are just as delightful, with options like steak frites topped with caramelized-onion aioli ($19) or a BLT smothered in rich four-cheese sauce ($14).
Dinner can be packed, especially on weekends, but it’s worth fighting for a reservation.
The same small-plate menu from lunch is available at dinner, but the entrées are much larger, family-style plates like skirt steak with chimichurri and sides ($76) or whole grilled sea bass filleted table-side ($75).
Pro-tip: If you can’t manage to find a reservation on the Disney app, especially on weekends or busy holidays, Wine Bar George also offers some slots on OpenTable.
I’ll keep coming back to Wine Bar George.
Even though Wine Bar George doesn’t have an over-the-top magical theme like Cinderella’s Royal Table or fancy frills like Victoria and Albert’s, it’s constantly at the top of my list of Disney World restaurants.
I make an effort to return to the Disney Springs spot every time I’m in Orlando.
