Morimoto Asia - Disney Springs
During our trip to Disney World in July, we had dinner at Morimoto Asia, a table service restaurant in Disney Springs.
We have dined at Morimoto Asia many times since it opened in The Landing area of Disney Springs in 2015. Like the restaurants in the Italy Pavilion at Epcot, and The Edison, Maria & Enzo's and Enzo's Hideaway at Disney Springs, Morimoto Asia is run by the Patina Group, which does a great job accommodating its gluten free customers.

Jaleo by Jose Andres - Disney Springs
In July, my daughters and I had lunch at Jaleo, a relatively new restaurant in Disney Springs featuring Spanish cuisine.
We did not make advance dining reservations like we usually do for table service restaurants, because it was a spur of the moment decision to leave Hollywood Studios, and head to Disney Springs for lunch. We were the first table seated, and the restaurant did not get too crowded while we dined, so you probably don't need a reservation if you want to dine at Jaleo for lunch.

Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar - Disney Springs
Last week and over Thanksgiving Break, my family visited Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar in Disney Springs.
The restaurant, which is described on Disney's website as a "1940s airplane hangar turned dive bar," is themed around Jock Lindsey, Indiana Jones' pilot in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Erin McKenna's Bakery NYC - Disney Springs
During our trip to Disney World in July, we stopped at Erin McKenna's Bakery NYC in Disney Springs twice.
We had not been to Erin McKenna's since we moved to California, even though we visit Disney World twice a year. There are so many great gluten free desserts at Disney restaurants, I don't feel much of a need to visit a bakery, and we have found some of Erin McKenna's baked goods to be very inconsistent in the past. Plus, I am a pretty good baker myself, and I usually prefer baked goods with dairy and eggs.

In July, I had dinner at The Edison in Disney Springs with my friend Sarah from Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free at WDW.
The Edison, a table service restaurant featuring American cuisine, is themed to look like a 1920's electric company with a steampunk twist.

STK Orlando - Disney Springs
This post was updated December 9, 2018
During our recent trip to Disney World, we had dinner with friends at STK Orlando, a signature dining restaurant in Disney Springs.
My friend Debbie from FinnFamilyGlutenFreeFun has been raving about STK since she first dined there, and it has become her favorite restaurant at Disney World. We dined at twenty-five restaurants during our nine day trip, and my entire family agrees that it was one of our top three meals.

Blaze Pizza
Earlier today, we had lunch at Blaza Pizza in Gold River, California on our way home from Lake Tahoe. I have wanted to try their pizza since reading my friend Sarah's review on her blog Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free at WDW. Shortly after we moved to California, a Blaze Pizza opened in Disney Springs, and I have heard from Sarah and others that they do a great job with special diets.
All the employees I spoke to at Blaze Pizza were incredibly friendly and willing to help. I was told that they change their gloves, and press gluten free pizza dough on a dedicated pizza press. When I expressed concern about cross contamination of their toppings as employees stick their gloves in them after touching gluten-filled dough, they were happy to get fresh toppings from the back or under the counter for me. I did not have to worry about flour in the air, because they do not toss any of their pizzas, and I did not see them dusting their regular dough either.

Frontera Cocina - Disney Springs
This post was last updated June 17, 2017
Earlier today, we had lunch at Frontera Cocina, which officially opened yesterday in the Town Center neighborhood of Disney Springs.
Frontera Cocina by Chef Rick Bayless features gourmet Mexican cuisine. It is managed by the same restaurant group that operates the restaurants in Disney's Coronado Springs Resort and the Mexico Pavilion in Epcot. Because they are not Disney-owned and operated, none of them have allergy-friendly menus, but I have found all of their restaurants do an amazing job with special diets.

Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop - Disney Springs
After we moved to Orlando in 2008, Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop in Disney Springs became one of our favorite dessert spots at Disney World. My husband and I loved to order a scoop of vanilla ice cream with their amazing milk chocolate hot fudge.
On our trip to Disneyland three years ago, I did not pass up the chance to stop at Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop at Disney California Adventure Park.

Amorette's Patisserie - Disney Springs
I was so excited when Disney announced that Amorette's Patisserie was opening in the new Town Center neighborhood of Disney Springs in May. The main reason I was looking forward to visiting this new shop is that they sell gluten friendly cake, and other sweet treats. You can check out pictures of their beautiful creations on Disney's website here.
After a disappointing experience at The Daily Poutine in Disney Springs last Saturday, we headed to Amorette's Patisserie. After reading my friend Sarah's review on her blog Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free at WDW, I was not expecting a good experience at Amorette's either.

The Daily Poutine - Disney Springs
Last Saturday, we headed to Disney Springs to have lunch at D-Luxe Burger, but it was closed for a private party when we arrived. We decided to explore the recently opened Town Center neighborhood of Disney Springs while we waited for D-Luxe Burger to open to the public.
When I saw The Daily Poutine, a quick service restaurant in Town Center, we reconsidered our lunch plans, because my friend Sarah from Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free at WDW had a good experience dining there opening week. Poutine is a Canadian dish featuring french fries topped with cheese curds and gravy. The Daily Poutine also offers Latin, Italian, and French-inspired versions of poutine.

D-Luxe Burger - Disney Springs
Yesterday, we had lunch at D-Luxe Burger, which opened in the Town Center neighborhood of Disney Springs last Sunday.
D-Luxe Burger is a quick service restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. After you order, you are given a pager to let you know when your food is ready to be picked up. They currently do not have an allergy-friendly menu, but a chef quickly came out to speak to me about gluten free options. He told me that any of the burgers could be made gluten free, and the fresh-cut fries are made in dedicated fryers, so they are safe.

Sprinkles - Disney Springs
Earlier today, Town Center officially opened at Disney Springs. This neighborhood features new retail locations and dining options like Sprinkles Cupcakes and D-Luxe Burger. More shops and restaurants will be opening in Town Center in the coming months.
As soon as Town Center opened, we headed straight for Sprinkles Cupcakes, which is located across the bridge from Morimoto Asia and Raglan Road.

Raglan Road Lunch - Disney Springs
Earlier today, my daughters and I had lunch at Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant in Disney Springs. Raglan Road is not Disney owned and operated, so they do not have an allergy-friendly menu, but it is one of my favorite table service restaurants at Disney World for gluten free dining.
Their menu recently underwent some changes, and some of my favorite dishes, like the citrus salmon salad and crispy fried shrimp, are no longer on the lunch or dinner menus. Thankfully, shrimp and chips are still available at neighboring Cookes of Dublin, my favorite quick service restaurant at Disney Springs.
