This June will be my family's 9th or 10th trip to WDW and we've dined at a variety of different restaurants but we were looking to try something new this year. We know we've missed a lot of hidden gems but we don't know where to start. If you could give some suggestions, I'd really appreciate it! Below is the list of most of the restaurants we've tried over the years:

  • Boma-Flavors of Africa
  • Sanaa
  • Trail's End Restaurant
  • Be Our Guest
  • Tony's
  • Crystal Palace
  • Cinderella's Royal Table
  • Coral Reef
  • Nine Dragons
  • Restaurant Marrakesh
  • San Angel Inn
  • Tokyo Dining
  • Tutto Italia
  • Akershus Royal Banquet Hall
  • 50's Prime Time
  • Hollywood & Vine
  • Mama Melrose's
  • Yak & Yeti
  • Bongos
  • Chef Mickey's
  • 1900 Park Fare
  • Garden Grill
  • California Grill(before renovation)

Thanks in advance!

Agree with many of the above, as well as:
Le Cellier (Canada in Epcot)
Chefs de France (France in Epcot)
La Hacienda de San Angel (Mexico in Epcot)
The Yachtsman Steakhouse (Yacht Club Resort)
Artist's Point (Wilderness Lodge)

I think some hidden gems for us are: Captains Grill, Boatwrights, and Raglan Road.

Even though you have done California Grill before the renovation, you should do it again. It is FABULOUS!

Grand Floridian Grille! A hidden gem for sure - its what I actually call it all the time! I would also say Kona Cafe. :)

Kona for sure. I also noticed a few that are a lot of fun that aren't on your list. I wouldn't call them hidden, but we've really liked them! 'Ohana, Sci-Fi Diner & Whispering Canyon Cafe.

Via Napoli, Biergarten and Kona are some of my favorites that aren't on your list. I would also suggest trying all of the Signature places.

Love a little Disney every day!! ;)
Turf Club @ Saratoga Springs is a wonderful hidden gem!! Often gets overlooked but we always have excellent service and delicious food, nice ambiance, every time we go. Also very easy to get a reservation anytime due to
It not being a popular well known location.
Also our faves not on your list is(we have several on your list as well):
Kona (breakfast)
Via Napoli
Le Cellier
Jiko
Raglan Road
Hoop Dee Do
'Ohana
California Grill (since reopening)
Hollywood Brown Derby
Sci-Fi
Liberty Tree Tavern (lunch which is a regular menu and not family style like at dinner)

:)

I didn't see Rose & Crown mentioned yet, and that's a lovely spot, especially if you get seated outside in nice weather, as there's an excellent view of the lagoon and the other pavilions. The food is quite tasty too.
