3. Picabu Market – The Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort

Picabu Market might be the stealthiest, most delightful Walt Disney World restaurant guests have never heard of. We recently stumbled across it after a stay at the Walt Disney World Dolphin, and we cannot believe this amazing little quick service restaurant has stayed under the radar for so long.

Hidden away in the lowest floor of the Dolphin (seriously, you may have to ask for directions to find it), Picabu is the resort’s 24-hour dining cafeteria. If you ever find yourself hungry after the parks and other restaurants have closed, this is absolutely the place to visit.

Along with a wide range of grab-and-go items like sandwiches and salads, Picabu offers a full taco bar where guests can customize burritos, tacos, and bowls with a range of proteins. Everything is made to order, so you can have them adjust details of each order as you go to match your dietary needs. The tacos and bowls are surprisingly tasty, and the range of foods here is wonderfully versatile. Move over, Boardwalk pizza! No more late night regrets for you!

4. Tusker House – Animal Kingdom

Tusker House at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is best known for its amazing character dining and charming atmosphere. However, what really keeps Tusker House at the top of our list for best Disney dining is the stunning quality of its food. It can prove very difficult to eat healthy at many of Disney’s buffet restaurants. Tusker House blows this issue out of the water with a wide range of delicious African dishes that will leave both paleo and vegan guests salivating for more.

The reason Tusker House is such a perfect choice for healthy eaters is its African cuisine. Unlike more westernized diets, the African items highlighted in Tusker House’s buffet take fruits, vegetables, and basic proteins and pair them with delicious spices instead of heavy creams and cheeses. It is seriously the best value for a buffet at Disney World if you want to eat smart and have a blast doing it. Be warned though: controlling yourself at their decadent dessert table might prove an exercise in futility!

5. Jungle Navigation Co. Skipper Canteen – Magic Kingdom

We’ve highlighted Magic Kingdom’s quirky new table service experience Jungle Navigation Co. Skipper Canteen before. While this restaurant still has a few kinks to work out (prices are high for Magic Kingdom dining, and it can be hit or miss whether you get one of the hilarious Jungle Cruise skippers as a server), the range of healthy options on the menu is outstanding.

Overall, Jungle Navigation Co. features items with a distinctly Asian and tropical feel. The noodle salad, curried vegetable crew stew, and sustainable fish are all great options (we would recommend skipping Nile Nellie’s Noodle Bowl which lacked flavor on our visit). If you’re looking to eat healthy while visiting the Magic Kingdom, this wacky establishment should definitely be on your list.
