World Resort.

Kouzzina by Cat Cora
Kouzzina by Cat Cora is the newest restaurant on Disney’s boardwalk, featuring a menu of Mediterranean-style cuisine that pays tribute to Chef Cora’s Greek roots. As a Mississippi native born to a family of Greek restaurateurs, Cora grew up immersed in two different and flavorful cultures – and kitchen “know-how” handed down through generations. The cuisine at Kouzzina (Greek for “kitchen” and pronounced “koo-zee-nah”) showcases Chef Cora’s philosophy to create simple yet sensational meals.
The family-friendly restaurant is open daily for breakfast and dinner.

Flying Fish Cafe
Nostalgically reflecting an early 20th century Atlantic Seaboard pier,
brilliant neon above the front door welcomes guests to Flying Fish Cafe.
Named for a Coney Island roller coaster called “The Flying Turns,” with
cars emblazoned with “flying fish,” the brilliant hues carry
right inside the front door, where the décor conjures up thoughts
of the deep blue sea. Giant, shimmering fish scales hug the walls. Delicate
lights dangle from oversized fish hooks. Sleek, golden fish arc overhead.
Guests can dine at the chef’s counter by the show kitchen to watch
as a well-orchestrated team turns out nightly specials like oak-grilled
wahoo, yellowfin tuna or potato-wrapped red snapper. Flying Fish Cafe
is all about seasonal flavors and modern classic cooking, with a seafood-driven
menu that also offers a variety of vegetarian, beef and other meat dishes.
Dessert is special at Flying Fish Cafe, with creations like a decadent
banana Napoleon with crispy phyllo dough, vanilla crème brûlée
and warm caramel sauce topping it all. Wine pairings also are on the
menu.
Flying Fish Cafe is open daily from 5:30-10 p.m. for dinner only.
