This past trip we had the opportunity to get off property and explore a little bit of the Lake Buena Vista area. One place that we stopped was Bahama Breeze on Vineland Avenue ( this is considered the Lake Buena Vista Location. There is another location on International Drive). I am so glad that we stopped here for lunch. This was easily one of our best meals throughout the trip.
We walked right in and there was no wait if we wanted to sit outside on the lanai. This was perfect since it was an extremely gorgeous day out.
For starters, the spinach dip and chips. I also had this refreshing beverage but I forget what it was called. I know it was a "Sunset" something or other but couldn't find it on the menu.
I had the Grilled Chicken with Cilantro Crema ( that is not a typo, it is crema, not cream) . It came with mashed potatoes and roasted corn topped with a blend of three melted cheeses drizzled with cilantro crema sauce! This was amazing! Scott had the Key West Fish Tacos which he said was fantastic as well.
For dessert the waiter suggested this cake ( I think it was some sort of rum cake). I don't usually order dessert but since we were on vacation I thought "Why not".
The prices for this restaurant were very reasonable and more like what we would pay at a restaurant at home. I know Bahama Breeze is a chain restaurant but we don't have one extremely close to where I live, so I was very pleased with this experience. I'm thinking I might make the extra effort to travel the distance to get to one of these restaurants in my own state now. Yup, we do have 2 have them! ~M
Have you ever been to Bahama Breeze? If so, I hope you had a pleasant experience too!

Never been to a Bahama Breeze, but it has to be cheaper than on property Disney restaurants. Glad you found a new favorite!
ReplyDeleteYes, the prices are definitely more reasonable.
DeleteYum! The pics are awesome! Makes me want to go there right now.
ReplyDeleteThe pics don't even do it justice! The food was fabulous!
DeleteThe food looks so good - my kind of holiday!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was very good!
DeleteI've never been to a Bahama Breeze, but know exactly which one you are talking about. I need to break down and try it!
ReplyDeleteIt is very convenient to get to if you have a car.
DeleteI haven't been to Disney in a few years but it's nice to know of other options away from the crowds a little
ReplyDeleteThis was a perfect little escape! We were only one of two couples seated in that area.
DeleteWe have a Bahama Breeze right here in the NW suburbs of Chicago! It is a treat to go there, especially in the middle of winter. We have also been to the one in Tampa. Good recommendation!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have one so close to you!
DeleteI haven't heard of Bahama Breeze before but your meal sounds awesome! My mom has a house in FL and I always laugh when she says she is out on her lanai, in NE, its a porch or deck! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!
Hmm, Perhaps it's only a lanai if it is covered? IDK
DeleteYum we love our local Bahama Breeze as well, so good. Thanks for sharing, this would be great to link up on our Favorite Food Friday as well. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky that there is one close by you! I should check out your Friday link up. Thanks.
DeleteWe went there before my first half. I had the fruit salad with grilled chicken, which was perfect! For a little more carbs, I did eat some of the flatbread pizza appetizer.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pre-race meal!
DeleteOh wow. That food looks amazing. That is enough to convince me!
ReplyDeleteIt looked good and tasted great!
DeleteI have heard so many good things but have never been!
ReplyDeletePerhaps you will be able to try it on a future visit!
DeleteThose food pictures look amazing.
ReplyDeleteI do have to admit they are pretty good pics for taking them with my phone. I think that all the colors really makes it look appetizing!
DeleteIf anyone stays off property closer to the Orange Lake Resort area, there is a Bahama Breeze on 192/Irlo Bronson highway in the same plaza as the Target, as well.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like perfect place to have lunch off property. The food sounds amazing! Definitely giving it a try! Happy Thanksgiving!!
